Dominant American swimmers like Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky, and Missy Franklin obviously demand our attention when they’re in the water, but they’re not the only ones in Rio putting on a clinic.
NBC culture correspondents Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinsky have gotten into aquatic sports as well. The electric duo took to Instagram to show off their pre-swim warmup routines and freestyle/backstroke form:

Honestly, I haven’t even seen these two on TV yet and they’re still killing Rio coverage.
