Walsh follows up mark with Olympic berth
The Straits Times|June 18, 2024
Gretchen Walsh backed up her world record performance in the semi-finals of the 100m butterfly by winning the final on June 16, while Nic Fink held on to win the 100m breaststroke, as both swimmers secured spots on the United States team for the Paris Olympics.
Walsh follows up mark with Olympic berth

Walsh brought the house down at Lucas Oil Stadium on June 15 when she broke the record and almost did it again, touching the wall in 55.31 seconds, shy of her freshly minted record of 55.18sec.

"I'm still in shock, I don't even know what to say," said the 21-yearold, after booking her first trip to the Games.

"Making the team was the biggest goal but getting a world record was absolute insanity."

Torri Huske was second in 55.52sec.
