“Going into tonight, my coach and I, our large purpose was to interrupt that world report. It’s what I’ve been coaching for. To see that I missed it by that little, and I do know that I tousled the final 15 metres of my race… Overall, proud of the time and a PB, however I didn’t attain my purpose tonight. Happy with the gold, proud of the win, simply going to maintain pushing ahead.
“I just think that I love racing, and that’s why we all do this, because there’s something about standing behind the blocks that we all love. So I just tried to channel that and just do it.”

“I’m simply so joyful to be at my highest stage proper now, competing in entrance of this beautiful cool crowd.
“Now, when I look at my pace over the first 50 metres, I’m already almost going all out. It’s kind of fun to test how far I can push like that. Maybe next time… even if the next time is in a few years, who knows. But it’s an event where I’m improving pretty fast. I’ve got good benchmarks now, so that’s encouraging.”
“Little bit tired, but confident. That was my first great swim in probably three years. So I’m pretty happy with that. I feel like I am starting to get back into the rhythm of being an elite athlete and a high-level performer. That’s my first step. Just keep getting better.”
“So special. That moment only comes around once in a lifetime. To have that and to be there with the only three Texas guys, it was absolutely amazing and a really, really special moment.”

“With regards to the race, I think the one who wins is the one who can detach themselves from their competitors. Try not to think of what Kyle is doing. Try not to look to the left for what Jack is doing. Just focus on your own lane. Imagine I have some walls right up on each lane, and I don’t see what the others are doing. So I managed to focus on what I had to do. And I delivered.”
“I’ve dreamt of competing at these world championship meets and representing Team USA since I was a kid. I was talking to David in the ready room, and we were wishing each other good luck, but also (talking about) putting on a good show for the fans and having lots of fun. I am really grateful for where I’m at right now and always hungry for more.”

“I’m super excited. It’s been a goal of mine for a long time, and it’s great to finally achieve that. (On Regan SMITH) She’s awesome to have in the ready room. We always had a lot of fun together, so it’s great to share the podium with her.”
“Doubles are never easy, but I’m grateful that it was just a 50m backstroke, not 100m or 200m. And the ready room for the 50m is really fun. There are a lot of great girls in there and I love swimming with Katharine, so they gave me the energy to do what I needed to do. And I’m just excited to hear the anthem tonight.”
“I wanted to be on the podium, and was definitely aiming for gold. Previously, at world meets, I’ve sometimes struggled with feeling confident in myself. This meet has helped me grow as an athlete.”

“That’s a win. I knew it would be pretty hot, but all of us have a thing for relays. It’s Jamie’s first world championships gold medal as well, it’s really special to be here with the girls and just doing it for our country.”
“So exciting. These girls are all my role models. Australia is pretty good in relays as well, and I’ve worked to be on this team for so many years… to be part of it is so inspiring.”
“Just knowing that I’m doing it for my team overall is what truly motivates me the most. Doing something greater than myself is always an extra motivator when I’m in the pool.”
“I could definitely hear them (strong Chinese supporters). You feel like you’re not battling alone. It’s not often that you’ll feel this level of support when you’re competing away from home. It feels even stronger, even more boisterous than when we’re on home.”
