The Week That Was sponsored by Suitmate.<\/em><\/p>\n

This week in swimming, U.S. Olympian\u00a0Torri Huske<\/strong> and TYR Sport announced a partnership as Huske takes advantage of a new NCAA rule allowing college athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness. Meanwhile, 2016 Australian Olympian\u00a0Maddie Groves<\/strong> spoke out about the reasons she skipped Australia’s Olympic Trials, and four-time U.S. Olympian Ryan Lochte<\/strong> underwent surgery.<\/p>\n

Read the five biggest stories of the week in The Week That Was sponsored by Suitmate.<\/p>\n

The Week That Was #1: Torri Huske Becomes First College Swimmer to Sign with TYR<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In one of the most impressive performances of this year\u2019s U.S. Olympic Trials, 18-year-old\u00a0Torri Huske<\/strong>\u00a0dominated the women\u2019s 100 butterfly, going out under world-record pace and setting an American record as she qualified for her first Olympic team. Six week later, Huske was in the hunt for gold in the event at the Tokyo Olympics up until the bitter end,\u00a0only to finish fourth, one hundredth away from the bronze medal and just 0.14 away from gold<\/a>. Later in the week,\u00a0she would earn her first Olympic medal as she provided the butterfly leg on the U.S. women\u2019s 400 medley relay, which captured a silver medal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now, Huske is making more history as one of the first swimmers to sign a sponsorship deal while maintaining her NCAA eligibility. Huske will begin her college career at Stanford University next month, but taking advantage of\u00a0new NCAA rules that allow student-athletes to monetize on their name, image and likeness (NIL) rights<\/a>, Huske has signed a deal with swimwear company TYR. Huske wore a TYR suit in her races at the Olympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited, and I could not be more thankful for this opportunity and for TYR\u2019s support as I pursue my goals in my passion, and I look forward to a long relationship with TYR in the future. It\u2019s very exciting that I get this opportunity,\u201d Huske said. \u201cI\u2019ve worn other suits before, but at training camp in Hawaii, we suited up at practice one day, and in the middle of practice, I did a 100 fly, and I swam super-fast in the TYR suit. I wanted to try it out just to see. That\u2019s partially the reason why I decided to swim in TYR, because I felt really good in their suit.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

#2: <\/strong>Maddie Groves Says Skipping the Olympics in Protest Was Worth It<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Just a day before Australia\u2019s Olympic Trials were set to begin, 2016 Olympic medalist\u00a0Maddie Groves<\/strong>\u00a0announced on social media she was withdrawing from the meet but not retiring<\/a>. The runnerup in the 200 butterfly from the Rio Olympics later wrote in a tweet that she was taking a stand against misogyny and harrassment she had faced in the sport.<\/p>\n

Now, with the Tokyo Olympics complete, Groves said she has no regrets for her actions and for skipping the biggest meet on swimming\u2019s calendar. Groves spoke with\u00a0The Sydney Morning Herald<\/em><\/a>\u00a0to explain why she is glad that she took a stand and why she went about her actions in the manner that she did.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just great to get all that support to be honest, it was a nerve-racking thing to do. It was disappointing to miss out on an opportunity like that (Olympic Trials), but the potential rewards absolutely outweighs the risk,\u201d Groves said, according to\u00a0The Sydney Morning Herald<\/em>. \u201cBut it\u2019s worth it. If this independent panel can have some meaningful outcomes that make the sport safer and more enjoyable for all stakeholders, not just women and girls, that is more valuable than an Olympic medal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Week That Was #3:<\/strong>Ryan Lochte Undergoes Knee Surgery to Repair Torn Meniscus<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ryan Lochte<\/strong>\u00a0underwent surgery Friday to repair a torn meniscus, according to Instagram posts from both Lochte and his wife,\u00a0Kayla Rae Reid<\/strong>. Lochte, who turned 37 earlier this month, hurt his knee while racing down an inflatable water slide, likely while playing with his two children,\u00a0four-year-old son\u00a0Caiden<\/strong>\u00a0and two-year-old daughter\u00a0Liv<\/strong>. Reid told the world the source of Lochte\u2019s injury in an Instagram post, and she revealed the details in her Instagram story.<\/p>\n

Lochte is less than two months away from coming up short in a bid to make his fifth Olympic team. After racing at the 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 Games and earning at least one relay gold medal on each occasion \u2014 along with two individual golds and six other medals \u2014\u00a0he ended up seventh in the 200 IM at the 2021 Trials and then reflected on his attempted comeback in an emotional press conference<\/a>\u00a0shortly after.<\/p>\n

Lochte<\/a>\u00a0is no stranger to freak injuries, including to his knees. He has suffered from foot, shoulder, knee and groin injuries throughout his career. Before his impressive 2010 season, when he was named Male World Swimmer of the Year by\u00a0Swimming World<\/em>\u00a0for the first time, he barely competed in breaststroke IM events all year after injuring his knee breakdancing, and when his knee was finally returning to full strength, he suffered a groin pull days before the 2010 U.S. Nationals, but he quickly overcame that to win National titles and Pan Pacific Championships gold medals in both IM events shortly thereafter. Then, in 2013, Lochte tore his MCL and sprained his ACL when a female fan jumped into his arms and the two fell onto concrete.<\/p>\n

#4: <\/strong>South African Sport Says Reports Tatjana Schoenmaker Will Not Receive Medal Bonus Money Are False<\/h3>\n

Following reports that Olympic medalists\u00a0Tatjana Schoenmaker<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Bianca Buitendag<\/strong>\u00a0would not receive financial bonuses for their medal-winning efforts at the\u00a0Olympic Games in Tokyo<\/a>, the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) disputed those claims on Tuesday.\u00a0Barry Hendriks<\/strong>, the President of SASCOC, issued a statement that said the reports of non-payment were erroneous.<\/p>\n

Schoenmaker was one of the stars of the swimming competition in Tokyo, as she set a world record en route to the\u00a0gold medal in the 200-meter breaststroke<\/a>. She also won the silver medal in the 100 breaststroke, an event in which she set the Olympic record during rounds. Buitendag was the silver medalist in surfing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been consistent in saying that we are in negotiations with partners over the issue of financial rewards to medalists at both the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics,\u201d Hendriks said. \u201cIt is true that the amounts have not been finalized given that the negotiations are ongoing. However, there has never been a point whereby a decision has been made to not offer medalists incentives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Week That Was #5: <\/strong>Adam Peaty Swaps Poolside For The Paso Doble In TV Show \u2018Strictly Come Dancing\u2019<\/h3>\n

Olympic 100m breaststroke champion\u00a0Adam Peaty<\/strong>\u00a0is swapping the pool for the dancefloor after it was announced he would be starring in the BBC\u2019s \u2018Strictly Come Dancing\u2019 show.<\/p>\n

Peaty became the first Briton to defend an Olympic swimming title when he added gold in Tokyo to the one he claimed at Rio 2016. He also became only the second swimmer to win consecutive golds in the two-length event, 13 years after\u00a0Kosuke Kitajima<\/strong>\u00a0achieved the feat at Beijing 2008 to add to his gold from Athens.<\/p>\n

Peaty announced that he would be taking some time away from poolside and now it appears it will be\u00a0 sequins and glitterballs rather than swimsuits and goggles. Not for a while any focus on his movement through the water and around the wall but instead the intricacies of his foxtrot and tango.<\/p>\n

Peaty told the BBC: \u201cI think this will come as a surprise to a lot of people, but I\u2019m so excited to finally share the news that I\u2019ll be joining Strictly this year. I\u2019m really looking forward to doing something totally different and challenging myself away from the pool. I\u2019m hoping my competitive nature is going to compensate for my dancing abilities!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
