There\u2019s a time and a place to shine, to take all the hours in the pool and work in the gym and translate that dedication to one all-important week. As far as Ryan Murphy<\/strong> is concerned, this week\u2019s FINA World Championships in Gwangju account for the third of four important steps in this quadrennial. The final step, of course, is to peak at next summer\u2019s Olympic Games in Tokyo, where Murphy hopes to defend the backstroke titles he claimed in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the most gifted athletes in his sport, and long pegged to be a star, Murphy could walk away from South Korea at the end of the World Champs with more gold medals in his treasure chest. He\u2019ll have plenty of competition in pursuit of world crowns, the likes of China\u2019s Xu Jiayu<\/strong> and Russia\u2019s Evgeny Rylov<\/strong> (among others), in his path. If Murphy lowers his world record in the 100 backstroke, it won\u2019t come as a surprise, such is his talent. Yet, if Murphy does not win gold this week, the former California-Berkeley star will be far from concerned.<\/p>\n

He knows what matters and it\u2019s not this trip to Asia. It\u2019s the next.<\/p>\n

Coming out of the Olympics in Rio, Murphy went to the World Championships in Budapest as the sport\u2019s leading man<\/a> in the 100 and 200 backstrokes. Murphy, though, did not remain on top of the world in his prime events, earning the bronze medal in the 100 back and the silver medal in the 200 back. Still, those results were fine, as Murphy had progressed beyond the quad that ended in 2016 and started to map out a game plan for 2020.<\/p>\n

Olympic gold medals are not doled out on a yearly basis, and for as satisfying as it might be to win a world title, Murphy\u2019s career is defined by Olympic success. He has three golds that will never be taken away. The next objective is to move into the stratosphere of East Germany\u2019s Roland Matthes<\/strong> and the United States\u2019 Aaron Peirsol<\/strong>, men who have defended their Olympic titles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in hindsight, 2017 was according to plan,\u201d Murphy said during his pre-meet press conference on Saturday morning. \u201cI\u2019m someone who wants to build through the quad. I want to be my best in 2020. I won\u2019t necessarily take too much from this competition because I know from the training I have done, I have gotten a lot better. Whether that shows up on the scoreboard, we\u2019ll see. But I know I\u2019ll be better next year.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And there it is. Prioritization. A focus on the biggest of prizes.<\/p>\n

Katie Ledecky Not Looking at Names\u2026Just Races<\/h2>\n

The first question out of the shoot at the press conference for the American women asked Katie Ledecky<\/strong>, she of 14 gold medals at the World Championships, about her impending meeting<\/a> with Australian Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> in the 400 freestyle. The media savvy Ledecky steered clear of discussing Titmus, or any other potential foe. Instead, Greg Meehan<\/strong> did the work.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Titmus has) been on a spectacular rise over the past 18 months and as a fan, it\u2019s fun to follow,\u201d said Meehan, Ledecky\u2019s coach at Stanford and the head coach of the women\u2019s team in Korea. \u201cAny high level competition is good for our sport, and whether it\u2019s Katie racing (Titmus), Simone<\/strong> (Manuel<\/strong>) racing Cate<\/strong> (Campbell<\/strong>) or Lilly<\/strong> (King<\/strong>) racing Yuliya<\/strong> (Efimova<\/strong>), it\u2019s good. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing (Ledecky and Titmus) fresh out of the gate. We\u2019re all looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This World Championships marks the third straight in which Ledecky has tackled the 200-400-800-1500 quadruple. In 2015, she won all four events, with 2017 producing golds in the three-longest distances and a silver medal in the 200 free. The knowledge of the previous two Worlds should prove beneficial.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve swum the two-four-eight and mile at the 2015 and 2017 World Championships and I\u2019ve learned a lot from those experience. It\u2019s obviously a big schedule with more than 6000 meters of racing. It\u2019s about managing my schedule and my energy and taking it one race at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dressel Taking Tight-Lip Approach to Hefty Schedule<\/h2>\n

Showing that he has morphed from a youthful standout into a Team USA veteran, Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> chose his words carefully during his pre-meet press conference. Despite being asked about replicating his seven-gold haul from the 2017 championships and the possibility of setting a world record, Dressel went tight to the Speedo.<\/p>\n

Dressel enters the World Champs coming off a superb tuneup season<\/a> in which he clocked a pair of sub-48 efforts in the 100 freestyle and a 21.51 mark in the 50 freestyle. There was also a 50-point mark in the 100 butterfly. Those performances have lit speculation that Dressel is in position to take down three global standards that have stood since the height of the supersuit era in 2009. Primary among those records is the 46.91 standard in the 100 free, held by Brazil\u2019s Cesar Cielo<\/strong> for a decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of factors that are out of my control,\u201d Dressel said. \u201cI\u2019m just going to swim the smartest that I can but at the end of the day, it is out of my control. I can just focus on swimming a smart race and being confident in my training. I\u2019m not going to focus on what that time is. If the time is there, so be it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Missing Element to Kalisz\u2019s Meet<\/h2>\n

For the majority of this decade, Chase Kalisz<\/strong> has been connected to the Japanese tandem of Kosuke Hagino<\/strong> and Daiya Seto<\/strong>. First racing in global junior waters, they became rivals in the 400 individual medley, each man securing major titles. While Seto has won a pair of world championships in the 400 medley, Kalisz is the reigning world champ and Hagino took the Olympic crown in Rio.<\/p>\n

This week, Hagino will not be present when Kalisz and Seto engage in their latest showdown. Hagino took a sabbatical from the pool<\/a> to find the fire that once drove him. His plan is to qualify for the 2020 Games in Tokyo. Regardless if that happens, Kalisz is more concerned with the well being of a competitor with whom he has become friendly through the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst and foremost, I want him to be back and happy, and in a good place,\u201d Kalisz said of Hagino. \u201cJust like Daiya, I\u2019ve been racing him since 2011 and just about every progression I\u2019ve gone through from the junior team to the national team, Daiya and him have been there. We\u2019ve developed a pretty good friendship and unique rivalry. I have the utmost respect and if he needs some time to get right, more power to him. I would love him to be in Tokyo, but he needs to take the time he feels he needs to take.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Without Hagino, Kalisz and Seto appear set for a pair of epic duels in the medley events. While Kalisz is the reigning world champ in the 200 IM and 400 IM, Seto has put together a tremendous leadup to the World Championships<\/a>, excelling in the medleys and the 200 butterfly. Seto enters the meet with a season best of 4:07.95. Kalisz, meanwhile, has taken a lighter approach to his racing prep, with his season best a 4:13.45, misleading in terms of what is likely to come in Gwangju.<\/p>\n

Manuel Drawing Inspiration From USWNT<\/h2>\n

A couple of weeks after the United States Women\u2019s Soccer Team won the World Cup, Olympic champion Simone Manuel took time to reflect on the victory and what it means to be an athlete with a stage from which to speak. One of the premier sprint freestylers in the world, Manuel also recognizes the importance of influencing others and encouraging change.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely think that all of us were inspired by their performance and what they stand for, and they stand for equality,\u201d Manuel said of the USWNT. \u201cSports is really an opportunity for us to use our platform to talk about things that are important, and we are passionate about. I think we all are inspired and want to compete well, but we also want to use our voice to make change in areas that are important to us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
