Regan Smith stamped her authority as the woman to beat in tomorrow’s final, putting the second sub-58 swim of her career in the second semi-final of the women’s 100 backstroke.
And she still needs a lot more rest before Tokyo. She looks practically gaunt. Scary to think what she’ll do when she’s fully rested.
I was pretty worried after watching her 100 flys. She had zero front-end speed. Glad it was restricted to that event. She’ll be great from here on out.
