It’s officially a family affair. Alex Walsh made the Olympic team in 2021, and last night her younger sister Gretchen joined the exclusive ranks of being an Olympian by winning the 100 fly at Trials in Indianapolis. Alex was elated for her sister having achieved this monumental goal and shared an emotional moment with her in the mixed zone afterward.
Really like these two. A little off topic since we’re talking Olympics but a buddy pointed out to me it’s not inconceivable that they could end next spring with 14 (out of 18) NCAA records.
Gretchen: 50 free, 100 free, 200 free (she led off in 1;40.2 this year); 100 fly, 100 back.
Alex: 200 IM (is 0.9 away), 400 IM (1.5 away), 200 fly(0.9) and 200 breast (0.7, I believe).
Plus, all 5 relay records. (They have 4 currently).
Crazy good genetics, training, coaching.
Hope Alex makes the team this week. As another commentator noted: 400 IM might have been a great chance. 200 free top six also since mid 1:56 might make it.… Read more »
What does stinger event mean?
I’m guessing from the context she said it – a fun non-main event
“Oh Gretchee”, cute.
The 100 BR is a primer for the 200 BR. That makes sense.
Why do these Alex support comments have a good amount of downvotes already? Who doesn’t like Alex?
Australians. And it’s not a dislike of Alex. It’s more generalized towards USA Swimming.
Cockroaches from down under. I informed SwimSwam to call Orkin.
Rubbish. Nearly all of us were asleep.
Have a feeling Alex will make it. Sisterly vibes ❤️
Love these two!! Rooting for Alex to make the team!!
Is she dropping the final considering she did a PB? I feel like she needs as much rest as possible.
What a great family.
Alex Walsh has a day off tomorrow.
