The Arlington, Va., native swims the 100-meter butterfly final Sunday after missing the podium in agonizing fashion three years ago.
Torri Huske swims the women's 100-meter butterfly semifinal Saturday at the Summer Olympics in Paris.
“Last time, the whole goal at trials was just to make the team,” Huske said in a recent interview. “And I feel like once I had done that, it was really hard for me to try to kind of change gears and be like, okay, now I have to set goals for the Olympics. In my head, I was kind of just like, ‘Wow, I’m here. I made it.’”
That growth was on display Saturday, the opening night of the Paris meet. Three years earlier, her strategy in the 100 fly race amounted to “fly and die,” she says. She’s more measured now, thinking strategically and focused on the back half of her race. Huske already got a taste of the Paris podium, turning in a tremendous leg in the women’s 4x100 relay Saturday. The Americans were running in fourth at the race’s midway point, when Walsh touched the wall and Huske leaped from the block.
