4:27 is solid.
It’s clear her focus was the 200 fly and I’m sure her real focus in general is Commonwealth Games, which should be an incredible meet as a whole. I’m so excited for the end of this summer. How many WR’s will have gone down by September?

I was at the pool yesterday so I didn’t realise how poor quality was the live stream 😭. I’m glad I filmed the race with my phone cause the quality is way better

She seems off at the meet. I hope she sneak onto the team and gets another shot at Pan Pacs.

I was just doing some thinking about that Summer/Kate debate again and i realized something interesting. Obviously Summer is the greater swimmer, but if I’m not mistaken Kate is really close to doing something nobody I can recall has done—
Has anyone ever held world records in 2 separate strokes that weren’t free and fly?
It seems impossible that nobody would have done it, and yet nobody comes to mind. Can somebody fact check me? Marchand is close in 2br/2fly, Douglass in 50 fr/2 br. But has anyone ever done it? Am I just dumb?

Kristin Otto same. East German of course. Phelps was fly/free and very close to both backstrokes.

Another Canadian woman recently, actually. Maggie MacNeil had short course 100 fly and 50 back

And if we’re counting short course Douglass 100 FR / 200 BR

I guess I should have specified LCM. The fly/back combo is pretty common in SC cause of undies so I bet Maggie isn’t alone there
