Morning Splash<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0by David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

The pressure was on like never before. Lilly King<\/strong> had watched one night earlier as her biggest rival, Yulia Efimova<\/strong>, had missed the world record in the 100 breast semi-finals at the FINA World Championships by just one hundredth of a second. Now, it was on her, the reigning Olympic gold medalist, to step up her game.<\/p>\n

She did.<\/p>\n

While Efimova froze on the blocks, King powered into the lead and was in control the entire race. She finished in 1:04.13, winning gold and setting the first world record of her career.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I love about swimming,\u201d King said afterwards. \u201cI love having pressure and I love being competitive. That\u2019s why I\u2019m in the sport. I thrive off that. My favorite thing about swimming is walking out of the ready room to a crowd of screaming people.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Everyone inside the Danube Arena\u2014and everyone following the meet around the world\u2014could see the pattern developing. In the biggest moments, when she knew she had major competition, King would step up her game.<\/p>\n

She had done just that at the Olympic Games in Rio one year earlier, and even at her first two NCAA championship meets, she had been at her best when she knew she would be threatened.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s amazing,\u201d said Ray<\/strong> Looze<\/strong>, the head coach at Indiana University and King\u2019s coach for the past two years. \u201cEvery time her back is against the wall, the more you corner her, the better she is.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cclutch gene?\u201d Probably not an actual thing\u2014despite what plenty of sports commentators would have viewers believe\u2014but King has certainly shown a habit of stepping up when she needs to. Looze has figured that out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m learning that you can dial up the pressure on her a little bit,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

King had not been considered a serious possibility to swim on the U.S. mixed 400 medley relay in Budapest, but her stunning performance in the 100 breast final forced the U.S. coaches to make a change for that relay, scheduled for the next day.<\/p>\n

But there was still concern\u2014King had been lackluster during her only other experience on a major relay (the women\u2019s 400 medley relay in Rio). If she was off again, there was a good chance the American team could get buried with all other countries deploying men on the breaststroke leg.<\/p>\n

So Looze, a member of the U.S. women\u2019s coaching staff, came up with a plan to force King out of her comfort zone and\u2014hopefully\u2014get her to swim fast. He approached U.S. women\u2019s head coach Greg Meehan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI go,\u2019 You go up to Lilly, and you tell her exactly the time you want. Dial it up on her. You\u2019ve got the green light from me. She won\u2019t have a problem,\u2019\u201d Looze recalled. \u201cSo he went up to her and demanded, \u2018I want a 1:04-flat.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

King just missed that mark, splitting 1:04.15, but that was plenty quick enough to allow Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> to take control of the race for the Americans on the fly leg.<\/p>\n

Growing into a Superstar<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As impressive as were King\u2019s efforts both in Rio and one year later in Budapest, the path from one peak to the other came with its share of hiccups.<\/p>\n

She returned from the Olympics as much of a celebrity as any swimmer not named Michael<\/strong> Phelps<\/strong>, Ryan<\/strong> Lochte<\/strong>, Missy<\/strong> Franklin<\/strong> or Katie Ledecky<\/strong> could be after wagging her finger and then calling Efimova for her checkered history with anti-doping violations.<\/p>\n

All the attention King attracted was tough for her to take, and Looze saw that up close.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first part of the year was really hard,\u201d Looze said. \u201cShe goes places, and 10 people will run up to her. She\u2019s somewhat of a personality. I wouldn\u2019t say she\u2019s a superstar\u2014most swimmers aren\u2019t\u2014but when people come up to here and they know who she is, they ask for autographs, pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n

So she grew up. She had no choice. And by the summer, it was obvious to all watching up close\u2014the 19-year-old from Rio had become a 20-year-old.<\/p>\n

Compare her words from after her semi-final races at the Olympics and then one year later at the World Championships.<\/p>\n

2016: \u201cI don\u2019t mind if I\u2019m stirring it up. That\u2019s just my personality\u2026 It was the IOC\u2019s decision [to allow Efimova to compete], and I\u2019m going to respect that decision, even if it\u2019s something I don\u2019t agree with.\u201d<\/p>\n

2017: \u201cI\u2019m always looking at results from the heat before, and I saw the little finger wag. I saw it. Just motivating me more, so that\u2019s okay. It\u2019s going to be a really great race tomorrow, so I\u2019m excited to see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Budapest, there was no more of the \u201cEfimova should not be here\u201d talk. In fact, King and Efimova were cordial after the race. The way Looze interpreted that, King was being polite and mature\u2014but she still believes everything she said in Rio about swimmers who have tested positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe thinks about what she\u2019s going to say more,\u201d Looze said. \u201cShe\u2019ll still pull teammates and coaches aside and say what she really wants to say because she\u2019s got a lot to say. If you ever got her unfiltered, it would be the best interview ever because she\u2019s got really strong views on doping that are phenomenal.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s unlikely that King will go off on those who have violated anti-doping rules anymore. Her coach, on the other hand, was less careful with his words.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause USA Swimming is so successful, we don\u2019t have the motivation as a country to make a stand. USA Swimming is the best swimming country in the world, and I\u2019d really like to see them make a stand,\u201d Looze said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t want Lilly speaking up in Rio against doping, and I advised her not to, and she did. We all know what happened. I talked to (U.S. women\u2019s Olympic team head coach) David<\/strong> Marsh<\/strong>, and we decided that we were going to support her because that\u2019s what we believe, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

King and Looze are on the same page when it comes to doping, yes, but it\u2019s clear by now that the connection they\u2019ve built includes more than simply shared opinions.<\/p>\n

In two years working together, King has rapidly become the dominant sprint breaststroker in the world, and she\u2019s made massive improvements in the 200 breast, as well\u2014she went from outside the final at the Olympic Games to fourth in the event at the World Championships.<\/p>\n

At the NCAA level, King has never lost a breaststroke race and has clobbered the American records in both the 100 and 200-yard events.<\/p>\n

Sure, she was a talent coming out of high school in Evansville, Ind., but who could have seen something like this coming two years ago?<\/p>\n

A talented swimmer responding to good coaching? Yes, but probably more than just that. For King and Looze, it\u2019s more of a partnership. And in the biggest moments of King\u2019s career, it\u2019s been obvious just how strong that partnership has grown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
