Maybe Beisel will make a comeback for the league. They are short of female IM stars, and she’s still in great physical shape. Besides, you can’t spell Beisel without ISL.

Beyond the “I wanted to get out there hard and get a win/best time” there is a lack of variability in interviews nowadays from top performers of whom I won’t name. So many “uhm” usages. Perhaps it’s the questions too, but for the sport to grow we need a little more. Dressel can be fun.
