On the night Ryan Murphy<\/strong> won his first Olympic gold medal in the 100 back, posting the second-fastest time ever at 51.97 in the process, his American teammate and bronze medalist David Plummer<\/strong> said that he knew all along what the then-21-year-old was capable of.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely. I think everyone\u2019s known that about Murph for a couple years now,\u201d Plummer said. \u201cHe\u2019s going to be one of the best of all time and already is, so just to be a little part of his journey is a very cool thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later during that week back in 2016, Murphy ended up adding a gold medal in the 200 back, making him one of just two men to finish those Games with multiple individual gold medals in swimming\u2014the other being Michael Phelps.<\/strong> Murphy finished out the meet by leading off the American 4×100 medley relay to another gold, and he broke Aaron Peirsol\u2019s<\/strong> 100 back world record with a 51.85.<\/p>\n

Rio felt like the beginning. But a year later, he couldn\u2019t back up that performance at the World Championships in Budapest. In the 100 back, he finished behind Xu Jiayu<\/strong> and Matt Grevers<\/strong>, and he could not catch Russian Evgeny Rylov<\/strong> in the 200 back. Grevers claimed the spot leading off the American medley relay in finals.<\/p>\n

Murphy called the performance \u201ca slap in the face.\u201d Even if his motivation waned in the post-Olympic year, having achieved his lifetime goals of a gold medal and a world record, what happened didn\u2019t sit well with him when he returned to training. He remembered all the moments in Budapest that ticked him off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember going into the media zone and having David there,\u201d Murphy said, looking straight at me. \u201cHe feels awkward asking me questions. I remember the look on his face. So that’s something that sticks with me.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then I can think back to the finish of the 100 back, and I look up and I see third by my name. I remember the exact look on Xi Jiayu’s face when I looked at him.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sometimes, finding the right questions to pose to an unhappy swimmer can be difficult, and that was the situation in Budapest. The morning after the 100 back final, Murphy led off the mixed 4×100 medley relay in 52.34, quicker than both his time from the final when he won bronze (52.59) and Xu\u2019s gold medal-winning time (52.44).<\/p>\n

Was that a frustration swim? \u201cYes,\u201d Murphy replied. Seconds of silence followed.<\/p>\n

===<\/p>\n

At Nationals this year, there has been no awkwardness. Only dominance\u2014the old Ryan Murphy that everyone saw on the sport\u2019s biggest stage in Brazil. Check out his backstroke times this week: In the 200 back, he swam a 1:54.15, the second-fastest time in the world behind Rylov (1:53.71). That\u2019s just two tenths off his Olympic Trials time (1:53.95) from right before Rio and faster than his finals time from Worlds last year (1:54.21).<\/p>\n

Later that same night, Murphy decided to swim the 50 back. \u201cIt was like, \u2018Why not?\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not going to take too much out of me to do a 50 back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"awards-50-backstroke-\"

He ended up winning in 24.24, breaking a nine-year-old suit-aided American record and surpassing the 24.35 that Camille Lacourt<\/strong> swam to win last year\u2019s World title.<\/p>\n

But that was just a precursor for his 100 back. Murphy figured that a Friday night sprint before the 100 would keep his body in his normal weekly training rhythm\u2014\u201cFriday nights, we go really fast, short stuff, and Saturday morning we kind of blow it out of the water.\u201d<\/p>\n

In that 100-meter final, Murphy went out in 25.15, just two-hundredths off his own world record pace, and he held off Grevers to finish in 52.51, beating out Rylov’s 52.67 for the top time in the world this year.<\/p>\n

And after this, he likely still has more room for improvement at the Pan Pacific Championships next month, to be held in an indoor facility after another week-plus of taper.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s different this year compared to 2017? The way Murphy sees it, it\u2019s pretty simple.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe body of work this year has been really consistent, Murphy said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t say that about last year. I swim well when I\u2019m consistent in practice\u2014that\u2019s what helps me get the flow for my stroke.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, none of this has been any validation for Murphy, that his training is working. He said before the meet began that if the work he\u2019d been putting in during practice didn\u2019t show up in Irvine, it would later on. If he hadn\u2019t set a record or come close to the world\u2019s top times, he would have been fine, so long as he made the Pan Pacs team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really need a certain swim to prove to myself that I\u2019m good. At this point, I feel like the body of work is really what I look at. I know what I\u2019ve done throughout the year, and I know where I\u2019m at,\u201d he said. \u201cThe title of best backstroker in the world, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s really something we place too much stake in.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But that title that Murphy disdains was one he earned in 2016, when he joined an exclusive club of men who had swept both backstroke gold medals at an Olympics. The others: Roland Matthes<\/strong> (1968 and 1972), John Naber<\/strong> (1976), Rick Carey<\/strong> (1984), Lenny Krayzelburg<\/strong> (2000) and Peirsol (2004).<\/p>\n

Only one of those men, Matthes, has pulled off the double more than once. Peirsol came close to a repeat double, only to fall short in a battle against Ryan Lochte<\/strong> in the 200 back in 2008. Murphy has the talent and moxie to pull it off\u2014the same traits that Plummer saw long before Murphy became an Olympic gold medalist.<\/p>\n

Dave Durden<\/strong>, Murphy\u2019s coach at Cal, said before the 2017 World Championships that he had no concerns about Murphy. He was fine with his backstroke ace taking it slow building back up in the post-Olympic year, even if didn\u2019t all work out in Budapest. That\u2019s because Durden had an eye for the bigger picture.<\/p>\n

And now, halfway between his masterful effort in Rio and his next chance at Olympic glory, Ryan Murphy is right on track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
