In the last domestic meet of her career, Lilly King left no doubt that she’s still got it. Touching in 29.88, King took a dominant win in the 50 breast while also sneaking under the 30-second barrier. King said after the race that every year for the past several, her in-season times have gotten slower and slower. By getting the win in Indianapolis and breaking 30, King showed herself (and everyone else) that she can still get the job done when it matters most.
I’m thinking about how elite 13-14 yr olds spend about the same amount of time in the water training as the best swimmers in the world and how that leads to a 28 yr old feeling like she’s “old” and been in the sport forever. I don’t really like that. And I’m saying that as my own 14 yr old is practicing 8 times per week plus dry lands so they can get a few more junior cuts. Hmmm.
Lily King matures well as she ages up.
hope she has a great world champs to wrap up her incredible career
