Natalie is like a fish to water in short course.
Excellent, and so happy to see Natalie using her tremendous versatility again!
She beat Ilaria Bianchi on the fly leg.. no small feat.
The World Cup wasn’t really a big thing from 2004-2010 (at least, not as much $$$ prizes). But Natalie would have totally CRUSHED them. If she trained and tapered scm in 2009, I think she could have several WRs.
Natalie getting back to her best!?
wow. beautiful.
