But even after successfully navigating the disappointment of the Games\u2019 postponement, her body landed her in a polar opposite position 12 months later after contracting the virus around Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChristmas 2020, I had COVID and I was out for two weeks,\u201d Sullivan told host and U.S. women\u2019s soccer player <strong>Kelley O\u2019Hara<\/strong> from her dorm room at the University of Texas. \u201cI come in in January out of shape, can\u2019t breathe, horribly ill, frail, I had a swim meet in San Antonio in January just to see where we were, and my coach actually had to take me out of the 1,500, because he didn\u2019t think I was going to finish. And I\u2019m pretty sure he cried when he did that because he thought it was over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan, representing Sandpipers of Nevada, went 8:38.46 in the 800 freestyle at the TYR Pro Swim Series stop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegatiming.com\/2021\/tyr-pro-swim-series-live-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in San Antonio in January<\/a>, but she didn\u2019t swim the 1,500.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan discussed \u201cfear and terror\u201d going into U.S. Olympic Trials, which was her first meet of significance since the start of the pandemic. Though she emerged from it with a spot on the Olympic team that would ultimately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/olympics-fittingly-katie-ledecky-powers-to-gold-in-inaugural-womens-1500-freestyle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lead to silver in Tokyo<\/a>, she also picked up a case of bronchitis before the national team headed to Hawaii for a pre-Tokyo training camp.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan and O\u2019Hara, a two-time World Cup winner with the U.S. who won bronze in Tokyo, discussed a wide range of topics, including their personal lives (both women identify as queer). Sullivan explained her plans for the next Olympic cycle. A freshman at age 21, after decommitting from USC, she hopes to qualify for the Paris Olympics in 2024. But she hopes to retire after that, shifting her attention to her non-athletic career goals, namely in filmmaking.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI think with swimming \u2026 you just spend so many hours in the pool that it\u2019s really hard to maintain both (interests). I feel like right now I\u2019m at a stage where I\u2019m maintaining both, but I really want to make leaps in the film industry and really, really hone in on it like I do with swim. I got to at 20 go to Olympics No. 1. Hopefully at 24 I can go to Olympics No. 2. But by the time I\u2019m 24, I think it\u2019s more so time to transition into film if I really want to make any impact there.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a
