Olesksiak said she was disappointed to miss the podium, but has to be happy with a swim that was the fourth-fastest time ever. She was a little slow off the start and in the opening stretch, and had too much ground to close despite her usual finishing kick.
Oleksiak was swimming for her third medal at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre, coming after a relay silver medal on Monday and a bronze medal in the metre freestyle on Wednesday, which would have pushed her past of the six career medals of speedskater Cindy Klassen and Clara Hughes, who was a medallist in both cycling and speedskating.
The year-old from Toronto was the breakout star of Rio , where she won four medals in the pool including a gold in the metre freestyle at just 16 years old. If I have six Olympic medals, I have six Olympic medals. She switched coaches and spent more than a year away from the national swim program and did not approach her times from Rio despite reaching what is generally a more competitive age.
But it was definitely a really tough time over the last five years. The team has won at least one medal on every day of competition so far, other than the first day they were handed out, last Saturday. She said the busy schedule this week, with heats and races almost every day, had not worn her out, and she credited the physio team for getting her ready to go again.
