Definitely a Chicago Bulls vibe from The Last Dance documentary now for the Lady Hoos. They will be elite in the years to come, but there will never be anything like the Walsh sisters in the NCAA again. This is it, this is The Last Dance. Savor it.

Was surprised to hear on the broadcast she’s only been training this year for the 100 breast and 200 fly.

I hope she’s not abandoning yet another one of her internationally relevant events, but maybe her knee is giving her issues with long axis strokes? Would explain why her backstroke and freestyle have seemed so off recently

I would guess after the Paris DQ and there being several more years before LA that she just wanted a break from IM focus

I don’t think that means she stopped training for the 200 IM, I think she just put more focus / extra time into 100 breast and 200 fly. And I can’t wait to see this 200 fly tonight
