On the first night of world championship trials, Claire Weinstein took on a hefty double, swimming the 100 free final less than half an hour before the 800 free final. In the 800 free, after finishing 8th in the 100 free (53.72), Weinstein pulled off a massive upset, negative splitting her 800 (4:15/4:04) to pass Jillian Cox on the last 50 and touch 2nd to make the world champ team.
It sounds like she really didn’t plan to swim the 800 like that – she just had to go out in 2:07 to flush out from the 100. Absolute legendary performance!
I can really relate to her talking about “if I just pass this other person, at least I won’t be last.” Especially since I was that “other person” throughout most of my swimming career.
But seriously, she seems like she has a great head on her shoulders. I hope she continues to enjoy the sport for a long time.
She seems like a very nice and humble person. Love all the details in the interview.
