(Video Interviews) Lilly King, Bethany Galat Earning Redemption in 200 Breast

2016 Olympic gold medalist Lilly King finished first in the women’s 200 breaststroke to qualify her for the World Championships. King’s time of 2:21.83 was a best time by nearly three seconds. After a disappointing finish in this event last year at the Olympics, King is ready to bounce back this year.

Tonight’s 200 breaststroke was a special race for Bethany Galat. After finishing third in two events at last year’s Olympic Trials, Galat’s second place finish earned her a spot on her first international team. Despite last year’s disappointment, Galat was able to drop nearly three seconds to qualify her for Worlds in her home state of Indiana.
