Very few 200 butterflyers and 400 IMers ever make international relays.\u00a0Up until recently, her best events after those two might have been the 200 backstroke and 400 freestyle, events still not opening up any relay spots to her.<\/p>\n<p>But Flickinger has quietly become one of the top 200 freestylers in the U.S. and finished fourth in 1:57.53, joining <strong>Katie Ledecky, Claire Weinstein<\/strong> and <strong>Leah Smith<\/strong> as the 800 free relay automatic qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a goal of mine for the longest time to make a relay. To finally be able to do it, I am elated. I am so excited,\u201d Flickinger told <em>Swimming World<\/em>. \u201cI got to swim a prelim race one time in a relay, but to actually qualify for it is incredible. I have watched relays for so many years. It always seemed so amazing and such an honor. I am so excited to be able to have that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was something Flickinger wasn\u2019t sure if she would ever get. Usually relay spots are for sprint freestylers as well as stroke swimmers who specialize in the 100. Flickinger is neither, but found the right spot at the right time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d be lying if I said it wasn\u2019t an honor that we all look at. I have definitely been envious of those who get to step up on the blocks and the podium with your teammates. I have had it in the back of my mind that it might not happen or happen very often,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Flickinger said the 200 freestyle is still a work-in-progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been 1:57 mid four years ago, so I wasn\u2019t necessarily happy with the time, but it shows that I am much more capable of doing more than I have in that race,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is a strategy that I haven\u2019t quite figured out. Once I do, it could be a really big race for me. I have always been really good in practice in freestyle, and that shows in my 400 IM. I have the capability, and <strong>Bob (Bowman)<\/strong> has said it since I got to ASU. We were eyeing this relay for a very long time. I am lucky that the time I posted got me in. We are moving in the right direction. I have a lot to learn in that event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flickinger performed well in her other events, too. She won the 200 butterfly in 2:06.35 near her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/u-s-olympic-trials-hali-flickinger-surges-past-regan-smith-to-win-womens-200-butterfly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">set at the Olympic Trials last year,<\/a> but also two seconds ahead of the field, to qualify for worlds.<\/p>\n<p>She took third in the 400 IM (4:39.50) and fifth in the 400 free (4:07.97).<\/p>\n<p>But it still wasn\u2019t the performance she was looking for, which brings us to her second goal \u2014 having a breakthough in the 200 fly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was fine. I have built this 2:06 consistently. I hope that there is a breakthrough in my future. At this point, 2:06 is my mental memory at this point. I am very happy that I have the chance to swim it at world championships, but I wasn\u2019t happy with the time. I haven\u2019t had that breakout yet. I just hope one day I am able to see it,\u201d Flickinger said. \u201cIt has been a while since that has been a goal. I would just like to have one swim in that race before end of my career where I feel like that was what I was training for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is an interesting position to be in, one that happens to elite athletes who reach a plateau. Some athletes find a way to continue, which is what Flickinger is looking to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am so grateful and so happy to have medaled at the Olympics. But anyone who knows me, knows I want more. I am very proud of them but I am in no way satisfied. I am more happy with the 400 IM because I don\u2019t think anyone thought I would have medaled in that one. That one is a little more special to me. It was very out of left field for everyone,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>That is why she puts in the extreme amount of work to get there. The smallest drop in time can take the most amount of work in a career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe one thing I am so confident in is how hard I work. I know the times I have posted in my career do not match how I train. We are all a little frustrated with that, but it shows how hard I have trained to do that at 27 years old. My body does not function the same way it did when I was a teen or early 20s. It is not easy when you are my age,\u201d Flickinger said. \u201cIt is the fact that I have not gone times that I know I am capable of. That hope that it will one day come through, gives me motivation every single day. I want it for myself. I want it for my coaches and teammate who see it every single day and believe in me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is so much more in there. I hope that am able to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It could happen this summer, with the whole world to see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hali Flickinger Checks Career Goal By
