University of Louisville swimmer Gabi Albiero swam 24.69 in a time trial on Friday at the Greensboro Aquatic Center during the Sectional Championships.
Her second 50 free time trial of the day (she was 24.83 in the other), that swim is a new best time for her and ranks her 5th in the US so far this season. The time won’t count for a US National Team ranking, because it was done in a time trial, but if it did, it would have put her 5th.
Albiero’s previous best was a 24.76 from US Nationals two weeks ago; prior to that, she had never gone under 25 seconds. Her time at Nationals ranked her 7th; if she had gone the same 24.69 she swam on Friday, it would have moved her up to 5th place.
Albiero is a current member of the USA Swimming National Team in the 100 fly, and is so far in position to occupy a spot again – she ranks 6th in that event in the qualifying period.
Gabi Albiero finished 3rd in the 50 free, 4th in the 100 free, and 5th in the 100 fly at the 2023 NCAA Championships in March as a junior.
Earlier this week, her older brother Nick Albiero announced that he will begin representing Brazil internationally – both siblings hold dual citizenship through their father, Louisville head coach Arthur Albiero, who is a native Brazilian. Gabi and Nick both raced at the recent Brazilian National Championships, where Gabi won the 50 free and 50 fly.
Gabi shared Nick’s post announcing the move on her Instagram story, adding “On my way!”, though it wasn’t immediately clear what she meant by that.
She went 24.8 at Nationals last summer
that’s fast
Go to Brazil and be in the finals in Paris in the 50 free and 100 fly
Lol
She won’t be anywhere near 50 free and 100 final.
Also, 50 free time trial is a cop out.
? this time could easily make the final. you contradict yourself in your own comment
Olympics races are not swum in time trials.
Also, it took 24.32 to final in Tokyo.
24.69 is not anywhere close to that, let alone “easily make the final”.
You seem out of touch with reality and confuse Olympics for a local meet.
Wake me up when Gabi swims 24.3 in a REAL high pressure race, until then..yawn..
Eeesh, someone woke up on the wrong side of the lane rope this morning. 😬
Maybe Random123 meant to make the semifinals?
You do realize that it may come down three sub 24.00 performances to medal in the W 50 FR at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships?
Honestly that’s one of the less surprising facts in the swim world nowadays
It took 24.86 at 2022 Worlds and 24.32 at 2020 Olympics to make it to the finals in 50 free.
It took 57.91 at 2022 Worlds and 57.19 at 2020 Olympics to make it to the finals in 100 fly.
If she competes for Brazil, she has a shot to make finals the next couple of years. All you want is a shot which she might not get trying to make the US team
