After winning two gold medals and two silvers at the Tokyo Olympics,\u00a0Katie Ledecky<\/strong>\u00a0left her training base at Stanford and moved\u00a0to Gainesville, Florida<\/a>, to\u00a0train with the University of Florida team and coach\u00a0Anthony Nesty<\/strong><\/a>. In the six months after Tokyo, Ledecky swam at only one meet, and\u00a0she put up a series of impressive times at the U.S. Open in Greensboro in early December<\/a>. This weekend, she is swimming at a Sectionals meet in Orlando, and her first race saw her surpass her own winning time in the 800 freestyle from the Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n

The Week That Was #2: Claire Curzan Breaks 100 Butterfly American Record and 100 Back High School Record at North Carolina High School State Meet<\/h3>\n

Competing in her final high school state championship meet Thursday evening,\u00a0Claire Curzan<\/strong>\u00a0lowered the American record in the women\u2019s 100-yard butterfly. Curzan swam a 49.24 in the event to beat the previous mark of 49.38 set by\u00a0Erika Brown<\/strong>\u00a0at the 2020 SEC Championships. With the performance, Curzan became the second-fastest performer in history, behind only\u00a0Maggie Mac Neil\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a048.89 from last year\u2019s NCAA Championships.<\/p>\n

In addition to breaking the American record, Curzan lowered her own 17-18 National Age Group record of 49.51 set last March. She also demolished the National Independent School record of 50.35 that she set last February.<\/p>\n

The Week That Was #3: NCAA Says No to USA Swimming Guidelines For Transgender Participation; Door Open For Lia Thomas<\/h3>\n

The NCAA announced on Thursday that there will be no changes to its previously approved testosterone policy for transgender women to compete at the 2022 Women\u2019s Swimming and Diving Championships, giving Penn transgender swimmer\u00a0Lia Thomas<\/strong>\u00a0the possibility of competing.<\/p>\n

The previously approved NCAA testosterone threshold is 10 nmol\/L, and it is unknown whether Thomas is eligible based on that number. If she is, she will be able to compete at the NCAA Championships.\u00a0The CSMAS (the Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports) reviewed the policy, along with the new USA Swimming policy\u00a0 (5 nmol\/L) before making the decision.<\/p>\n

The Week That Was #4: Diana Nyad: \u2018Celebrate Transgender Athletes\u2019 But Need Level Playing Field<\/h3>\n

Diana Nyad<\/strong>, the 72-year-old long-distance open water swimmer who attempted to swim from Cuba to Florida on five occasions before finally making it on her final attempt, has weighed in on the controversy involving whether transgender athletes, including the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s\u00a0Lia Thomas<\/strong>, should be allowed to compete alongside biological females.<\/p>\n

Nyad expressed an opinion that transgender athletes deserve a chance to be celebrated, but she believes that science must be considered in providing a level playing field for cisgender women. She lauded the landmark legislation of Title IX that has protected women\u2019s rights to compete separately in sports in the United States for a half-decade.<\/p>\n

The Week That Was #5: U.S. Swimming Golden Girl Tracy Stockwell (Caulkins) Announced As The New President Of Swimming Australia<\/h3>\n

US swimming legend\u00a0Tracy Stockwell (Caulkins)<\/strong>\u00a0OAM has been named today as only the second ever-female president of\u00a0Swimming Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And it could well herald a major shift in power in Australian Olympic sport.<\/p>\n

Stockwell, 59, who married Australian Olympian\u00a0Mark Stockwell<\/strong>, takes over the leadership reins from dual Olympic gold medallist\u00a0Kieren Perkins<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 the newly appointed CEO of the Australian Sports Commission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
