With the United States Trials set to take place next month in Omaha, swimmers will be eager to earn their place in Tokyo.\u00a0<strong>Kelsi Dahlia<\/strong> (known as Kelsi Worrell in 2016) is attempting to make her return to the Olympics this Summer. Dahlia, 26, competed in the Games in Rio in 2016, contesting the 100 butterfly and winning a gold medal in the 400 medley relay.<\/p>\n<p>The oldest of six siblings, Dahlia established herself in college when she competed for the Louisville Cardinals. She exploded into the spotlight at the 2015 NCAA Championships, where she became the first woman to swim the 100-yard butterfly in under 50 seconds. Success at the NCAA level helped launch Dahlia onto the U.S. National Team and to a berth to the 2016 Olympics.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_470412\" style=\"width: 370px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-470412\" data-attachment-id=\"470412\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/chased-by-youth-veteran-kelsi-dahlia-seeking-second-olympic-berth\/kelsi-dahlia-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals68\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kelsi-dahlia-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals68.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,667\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-9&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1617939835&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;80&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"kelsi-dahlia-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals68\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;kelsi-dahlia-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals68&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Becca Wyant&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kelsi-dahlia-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals68-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kelsi-dahlia-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals68.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-470412\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kelsi-dahlia-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals68-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"kelsi-dahlia-tyr-pro-series-mission-viejo-finals68\" width=\"360\" height=\"257\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-470412\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Becca Wyant<\/p><\/div>\n<p>One gold medal and a diploma later, Dahlia was able to focus full-time on swimming for team USA, and made her presence known for the Cali Condors in the International Swimming League. In early 2020,\u00a0Dahlia was deemed a favorite to return to the Olympics, only to have the Games postponed for a year by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the journey back will be difficult. The U.S. has seen an influx of youth in the 100 butterfly, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/claire-curzan-oblivious-to-limits-in-rapid-rise-to-prominence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Claire Curzan<\/strong><\/a> and <strong>Torri Huske<\/strong>, among others, vying for an Olympic spot opposite Dahlia.<\/p>\n<p>Most of Dahlia\u2019s preparations for the Olympic Trials have taken place in her college town of Louisville. At the start of the pandemic, when pools were closed, Dahlia had an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/olympics\/2020\/06\/03\/olympic-swimmers-without-water-coronavirus\">I-Pool<\/a> installed in her backyard, giving her the ability to get in the water while she waited for pools to reopen.<\/p>\n<p>While she was not able to swim as much, she remained consistent with her training. Land workouts varied from strength conditioning to playing Beat Saber, a virtual reality game.\u00a0Since restrictions loosened and pools began to open up, Dahlia has been training with Louisville graduates as she works toward the U.S Trials.<\/p>\n<p>Still, things are not fully back to normal, something which Dahlia pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe weren\u2019t able to access our facilities fully and be re-integrated back with the U of L team until after their college season ended and even then, I\u2019m still not back in the weight room,\u201d Dahlia said. \u201cI\u2019ve had to be creative. I have a full weight room in my garage right now so I can do just about everything there, but I\u2019ve also started lifting at my physical therapy office, so that way I can have some eyes on me to make sure I\u2019m lifting correctly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strength is a key element that Dahlia mentioned. She is excited to showcase the strength she has built over the years.\u00a0Dahlia has a consistent regimen going into Trials. She mentioned that going into this Olympics, things are different. Dahlia was graduating from Louisville shortly before Rio. Being a full-time professional swimmer has changed the way she approaches the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe three biggest differences are taking ownership over my schedule, in terms of when I\u2019m traveling and also my recovery schedule,\u201d Dahlia said. \u201cThe recovery side of things is much more important. I\u2019m making sure that I\u2019m scheduling my physical therapy appointments, massage and chiropractor each week, as well as doing my Normatec, foam rolling and other modalities at home. The last point is the mental side of things. It\u2019s now my responsibility to do well and it\u2019s not for the team, it\u2019s only for me. It has to have a little bit more of a selfish mentality. That took an adjustment. It was definitely a mindset shift to know that I\u2019m doing this for my family a little bit more than just my team for the NCAA.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_321347\" style=\"width: 417px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-321347\" data-attachment-id=\"321347\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/chased-by-youth-veteran-kelsi-dahlia-seeking-second-olympic-berth\/kelsi-dahlia-6\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/kelsi-dahlia-2018-us-nationals-2802.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter H.

I\u2019m focused just on Trials right now and then I\u2019ll allow myself to be excited for the training camp in Hawaii and then on to Tokyo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dahlia credits God for putting her in the position she is in now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe past year, I\u2019ve been relying on a few different names of God that brought me a lot of comfort and peace\u2026\u201d Dahlia said. \u201cI\u2019m the oldest of six and I\u2019ve always struggled to trust that God will provide. (God helped me in) moving out of the house, becoming a professional swimmer, trusting that I won\u2019t have to worry about finances, because every year my stipends and my income (are) dependent upon my world ranking. It\u2019s very volatile and so (it has helped to) not stress about that. And then also, not knowing what the last year would look in the pandemic, I have this supernatural peace that I can only attribute to God.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chased By Youth, Veteran Kelsi Dahlia Seeking Second Olympic Berth By Luke Randle, Swimming World Intern The journey to Olympic qualification is immensely tough.
