[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He got poached by Wisconsin bc he trained Ledecky at Prep[/quote]

I believe Yuri coached the younger group at the Prep site, so he coached Ledecky before her first Olympics.  Gemmell definitely claimed to coach her as well. (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/11/sports/swimming-katie-ledecky-coach-bruce-gemmell.html)  His son, Andrew Gemmell was also an Olympian and a distance freestyle swimmer. [/quote]

Yuri was her first coach, that got her to her first Olympics. After Katie's first Olympics, Yuri went on to coach the men's team at Cal. When Yuri left, Bruce Gemmell was brought in, specifically to coach Katie. He got her to her second Olympics.

And I wouldn't call NCAP a centrally run team, in fact far from it. Many of the sites are privately owned, very much like a franchise.[/quote]

Most of sites are not franchises but some are. Most are used to fill Ugasts pockets.

Yuri was Katie’s coach and deserves a ton of credit for the work he did to get her to gold. He had to leave to run from the scandal and an opportunity with durden was hard to turn down. He’s been successful every step of way and it’s continuing at wisco.

Bruce certainly didn’t screw Katie up, she kept winning with him but he wasn’t the mastermind and she’s been with Meehan lately so Bruce just a small piece of the puzzle for her. [/quote]
