Video captured by Anya Pelshaw.
Gretchen Walsh continues to dazzle in the 100 fly, which has truly become *her* event. She recorded a 55.00 to take the win at the Indianapolis Pro Swim, the 5th fastest performance ever, and somehow it felt… normal. While Walsh was happy with the swim, she is always chasing more. A best time, a world record… a new barrier.
Walsh admitted that at some point in the future, after she’s already become the first and only woman to break the 55-second barrier, she wants to become the first woman to break the 54-second barrier. And to be honest, watching the trajectory she’s on, it feel like it’s not a matter of if, but when.
I love it when athletes are so bold and open about their goals. 53 sounds literally insane to me, but if anyone can do it…
But not Wiffen?
To be fair, people didn’t have issue with him speaking about his goals at first. The main thing is he keeps getting slower and slower, yet his goals are getting bigger and bigger.
His remarks on Cal and Florida don’t help either.
I bet she’ll do it.
Gretchen seems to talk a lot before breaking WR whereas Katie just does it and then talks with modesty!
I personally love when swimmers vocalize their goals. People like you make the swim community soft.
Prideful yapping versus a humble and grateful response
Don’t get me wrong – I love the grace and modesty of Katie Ledecky, but it makes the sport more entertaining when swimmers announce their goals, even if they end up not achieving them. Also, it really isn’t that far fetched for her to drop .34.
U seem to talk a lot.
I am grateful for your observation and grateful for my superior intellect
what do you do before breaking a WR
It Is Written.
LISAN AL GAIB
please don’t drop backstroke!
and a 200 free every once in a while would be interesting!
LA is two years away
A little too ambitious eh?
I initially had the same thought, but I mean, “I want to PR by three tenths” doesn’t sound nearly as wild
Did Gretchen get a vaccine lol? (Bandaid on arm)
Vaxxxed?? And didn’t set a WR here, these things are linked
