After their outing in the 100 Breast (Douglass 1st, Walsh 3rd), Kate Douglass and Alex Walsh spoke with the media in Westmont. Douglass, when asked about the World Cup scoring system, said that she feels she has shot herself in the foot a bit with her success from last season making it harder for her to score points. Walsh, when asked about competing in the 400 IM, said it was a fine first race in the event for her and she will most likely be swimming it again in Toronto.
HOW TO WATCH THE WORLD AQUATICS WORLD CUP
A comprehensive look at television and streaming options for the meet can be found here.
U.S. viewers can watch both prelims and finals on the USA Swimming Network and Peacock, Canadians can stream every session on CBC, and the source for the majority of European nations will be the Eurovision Sport platform.
The competition will also be streamed live and on-demand with the World Aquatics Recast channel. A three-day pass requires 590 credits, which costs $8.26 USD.
Alex must have changed her mind for Toronto. The updated psych sheet released Wednesday shows her racing only the 100/200 breast and 200IM.
she’s gonna kill it – her ceiling is very high
Alex back in the 4IM, we needed this 🙏
Yaaas! And looks like she’s committed to doing it many times!
We need her to do 400 LCM. With the exceptions of Summer, it is a relatively weak event
Alex Walsh should have never dumped the 400 IM in lieu of the 100 BR during her last season at the University of Virginia.
well you could argue the opposite too. She won the 100 breast and is the third fastest performer in history – without her, Virginia wouldn’t even have had anyone in finals. Katie Grimes was also expected to lead the 400 IM for them, so it actually makes a lot of sense. And guess what? Now Alex is swimming both the 4 IM and 1 BR so joke’s on you
You’ve taken the short term view. Alex Walsh failed to become the heir apparent to Lilly King in the W 100 BR (LCM & SCM).
