RIO EXPERIENCE
She believes she is better prepared for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, having had her first Olympic experience in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. "In Rio I was going for the very first time. It's different when you go for the first time. Everything seems so amazing. I know these Olympics are going to be different, especially with COVID-19, but my intentions, I want to swim really well, I want to race really well. I kind of know what to expect on some sort of level. I'm really excited to go and race." (auburntigers.com, 05 Jul 2021)
