Lilly King took her 11th win in 11 individual races during the 2019 International Swimming League season, going 2:17.03 to win the 200 breast Friday in Las Vegas.
King’s time is a new U.S. Open record, besting Rebecca Soni‘s 2:17.69 from 2011’s Duel in the Pool. King split 31.09/35.70/35.75/34.49 Friday.

she is incredible …….nothing stopping her .
Isn’t it how MVP has to be determined instead of counting some junk for seventh places?

It isn’t even a “junk” swim for someone pulling a double and still making the time standard/not being last. Dressel is also the one of the top, if not the top, swimmer in the sprint frees and sprint flies and being a key addition in all the relays while (without discrediting her greatness) King is only the top swimming in the breaststoke and only used in the medley relays, therefore making Dressel the… Read more »
I hope you feel better now.
“MVP” stands for most valuable player. Not person. You can be very nice person as your post suggests, but it will never make you MVP 😀
