Gold medalist makes Olympic Swim Trials without swimming in 4 years

What?!

2000 Olympic gold medalist Ed Moses decided he wanted to swim again. After four years of not swimming at all (like really, not one swim) Ed asked his Instagram followers when was the last day to qualify for the Olympic Trials. Just a casual posting asking his fans what’s up.

Well ... He found out he still had time to race, so 10 days later, he did. After FOUR YEARS of not even getting in the pool, he practiced twice and then competed. And he made the Olympic Trials.

Moses doesn’t have that great of a chance to actually make the Olympics, but it’s still really awesome he could do this.
