Lindsay Mintenko on 45-Medal World Championships and Buildup to Paris<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not every international meet can be perfect, but this year\u2019s World Championships went about as well as possible for the United States. The Americans\u2019 45-medal haul was the most of any World Championships ever, and even with many top international stars missing as they targeted other major competitions, USA Swimming National Team Managing Director Lindsay Mintenko<\/strong> could only call the performance a major success.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the team stepped up,\u201d she said. \u201cI think they were awesome. We saw a lot of new faces on the podium. We were ready to swim fast. We can\u2019t control who comes to World Championships, and it didn\u2019t matter. We were ready to swim fast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the signature moments for the American teams included wins in the 800 freestyle relays, both returning to the top of the podium after the women took silver and the men missed the medals entirely at the Tokyo Olympics. The women pulled off an upset to finish on top when Katie<\/strong> Ledecky<\/strong> stormed into the lead with the third-fastest in history, and then Bella<\/strong> Sims<\/strong> crushed her best time on the anchor leg to actually pull away from Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMagical,\u201d Mintenko said of the relay. \u201cI\u2019ll be honest, we weren\u2019t expecting that of Bella. She didn\u2019t let anybody get past her. I wouldn\u2019t want to be in a head-to-head race with Bella anytime soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was a similar outcome in the men\u2019s relay one day with three 1:45 splits and a 1:44.34 from Kieran<\/strong> Smith<\/strong> on the anchor leading to a three-second U.S. win<\/a>. The American team also overcame the loss of Caeleb<\/strong> Dressel<\/strong> to a health issue midway through the meet<\/a>. \u201cThey were incredibly supportive of the decision that was made, of Caeleb as a person,\u201d Mintenko said.<\/p>\n

When recalling her favorite moments of the Budapest experience, Mintenko immediately brought up the mixed 400 medley relay, when the U.S. coaching staff had to overhaul the lineup just over an hour before the session began. The swimmers whose assignments changed, swimmers who were called into duty and at least one swimmer who was moved off the relay handled everything in stride, and the relay rebounded from a shocking fifth-place finish in Tokyo with a gold medal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the mixed medley stepping up was really cool. Not only the people that thought they were going to be on it and didn\u2019t have the opportunity anymore, they were incredibly supportive, and then those who, when they were asked, to step up and be a part of it, without hesitation, they said yes. That shows a lot of pride,\u201d Mintenko said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHunter<\/strong> [Armstrong<\/strong>] was pretty special when Justin<\/strong> [Ress<\/strong>] got reinstated [in the 50 backstroke]<\/a> and the way Hunter handled that. That just goes to show you how special these teams are and how important the teammates are to each other. A lot of people look at swimming as an individual sport, and I\u2019ll tell you what, we wouldn\u2019t have won 45 medals with just one athlete. It definitely shows how special these teams are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mintenko has been at the helm of the U.S. national team since 2017, and she worked with the national team since 2006, shortly after her own swimming career ended. During that time, she has watched so many athletes grow from international rookies into seasoned veterans and leaders, and that evolution has been gratifying for her to watch, particularly in a sport where success is never guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Case in point: one of the captains of this year\u2019s Worlds team was Leah<\/strong> Smith<\/strong>, a seven-year national team veteran who missed the 2021 Olympic team but bounced back to qualify for Worlds in three events<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey move into leadership positions, and they take on a little bit of a different role, but they still take a lot of pride, and they still appreciate the opportunity, and I think that\u2019s something that\u2019s super cool, that no matter how many times you\u2019ve been on a World Championship team or an Olympic team or an international team trip, you still cherish the opportunity to go represent your country,\u201d Mintenko said. \u201cAnd you see that. You can still the pride and how excited they are when they win international medals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that Ryan<\/strong> [Murphy<\/strong>] had never won an individual world championship was kind of a shocker to me, so it was great to see him finally do that. I think it\u2019s important. I think people sometimes forget that these people are working their tails off day-in and day-out. It\u2019s not a done deal every time they go to a selection meet, and I think it\u2019s important to recognize how hard they\u2019re working to get where they are.\u201d<\/p>\n

With attention turning to 2024, central to Mintenko\u2019s focus is the seven relay events that will be contested at the Paris Games<\/a>. In Tokyo, the Americans won only two relay gold medals (men\u2019s 400 free and men\u2019s 400 medley), while two squads finished off the podium entirely, the aforementioned 800 free relay team as well as the mixed 400 medley squad that ended up fifth, largely thanks to strategy errors.<\/p>\n

In particular, the American team lags behind Australia in both freestyle relays. The Aussie women have gone undefeated in the 400 free relay on the international level since 2018, and they broke the world record in the 800 free relay at last week\u2019s Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we get back from Australia in the middle of the month [after Duel in the Pool], we\u2019re going to start putting a lot of emphasis on relays,\u201d Mintenko said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to try to focus on how we can get our men and our women faster in these relays. We\u2019ve been very fortunate to win the 400 for the men. There\u2019s a lot of competition out there in the 400 for women, so we\u2019ve got a lot of work to do. It\u2019s going to be a big focus for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

More from Lindsay Mintenko<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On getting more women under 53 in the 100 freestyle: <\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019re getting there. I think I\u2019ll have to sit with the performance team and obviously the coaches who are having those athletes consistently go 52 and figure out ways that we can get better. Maybe we can look at some of the ways that the Aussies are swimming and some of the great things they\u2019re doing and finding ways that we can improve. I\u2019m a big fan of always continuing to learn. I think our coaches and athletes are pretty smart people, and I think that they would think the same way, that they always want to learn and get better.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Torri Huske\u2019s performance at Worlds: <\/strong>\u201cShe held it together the whole time. An eight-day meet is a big change, and the Games will be nine, and hopefully next summer will be nine so we have a little more of what it feels like for a Trials rehearsal or whatever. That\u2019s a hard thing to do mentally and physically, so to see her step up, hopefully getting through your first one will propel Torri and others to continue to have success at these big international competitions.\u201d<\/p>\n

On continued COVID-19 challenges: <\/strong>\u201cIt\u2019s going to always be an issue, right? No matter what we do, it\u2019s going to be an issue, and I think we\u2019ll just need to rely on our team doctors and rely on the situation that we\u2019re in, and the athletes have been very supportive of the decisions that we\u2019ve had to make to keep our team safe. My focus has always been to keep our athletes healthy and safe when we travel internationally and put the focus on performance, but this has taken it to a new level. It\u2019s hard because this is a virus where if one goes down, you all go down, so you have to be really careful and really mindful of what you\u2019re doing and making sure you\u2019re not putting not only yourself at risk but others.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Russia\u2019s status for international competition: <\/strong>\u201cI\u2019m working with the USOPC on that, trying to figure out what their status is and what it will be in the future. Like I said, we can\u2019t control who\u2019s at the meet. We can\u2019t control who decides to come to the meet. We\u2019re just going to do our best and do what we can to make sure that we\u2019re ready to go and race whoever\u2019s there.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the new swimming schedule for the Olympics: <\/strong>\u201cAdding another day of the meet is a lot. I think they\u2019re trying to do what\u2019s best for the athlete, and at the end of the day, I think that\u2019s what\u2019s most important.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the upcoming Duel in the Pool: <\/strong>\u201cThat\u2019s going to be fun. It\u2019s going to be a super fun meet. I think it\u2019s going to be a great opportunity for a lot of people who have never had the opportunity to travel internationally. We have always said that an international competition, even if it may be as short as this one, is still an international competition. You still have to go to the airport, you still have to get on the plane, you still have to try different food and sleep in different places. Any time we can give new people opportunities to travel internationally and compete, it\u2019s always a good thing, so I\u2019m really looking forward to this team. I\u2019m really looking forward to the challenges that this meet\u2019s going to bring all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
