Look what Canada did within a couple years with the breaststroke . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will never forget waking up at 4 in 2019 to see her upset Sjoestroem in the 100 fly and then becoming an Olympic Champion two years later. She'll always be a legend.

We're lucky she's still competing, her initial plan was to retire after Tokyo but she stuck around for one more Olympics because she feels she didn't get a "proper" Olympic experience due to the pandemic.

Josh 5,755 Posted March 9 #128 Share Posted March 9 55.98 for Penny Oleksiak during the women’s 100m freestyle prelims at the TYR Pro Swim Series Westmont. Not an eye popping swim (obviously), but that’s a great time for her considering her struggles in recent years. Hopefully she doesn’t scratch the B-final. intoronto, Topicmaster1010 and james89 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
