The reply, like so many of the Dutchwoman\u2019s swims this week, was delivered with the right timing for the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Steenbergen has quietly had a tremendous World Aquatics Championships, while working more than anyone else. The preliminaries of the women\u2019s 50 freestyle Saturday morning at the Marine Messe Hall were the 16th time she\u2019s gotten up and raced this week. As fate would have it, swim No. 17, in the semifinals of the 50, landed her in a tie with <strong>Marie Wattel<\/strong> for eighth, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-day-seven-semifinals-sarah-sjostrom-takes-down-world-record-in-50-freestyle-semis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which led a swim-off<\/a>.

It\u2019s mostly just a mental game, try to recover and be ready for the next now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That Euros in Rome in 22 netted her seven medals, including gold in the 100 and 200 free plus two relays. But it only required 14 swims, with Steenbergen not entered in the 50 free and relay prelims duty considerably lighter.<\/p>\n<p>In Fukuoka, she\u2019s not only swum a lot but had to be on every time, with little chance to coast through semifinals of events like the 100 free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a lot, but I try to do it race by race and not think about, that I have to do 20 of them,\u201d she said. \u201cI knew I could have to do 20, and if I can make it, I\u2019m like, OK, I did it, I can do it. It\u2019s another feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steenbergen has been outstanding this meet. She finished fifth in the 200 freestyle, albeit nearly two seconds back of <strong>Summer McIntosh<\/strong> for bronze, and seventh in the 200 IM in one of her only down swims of the week. She helped Dutch relays finish fourth in the mixed 400 medley, sixth in the women\u2019s 400 free and sixth in the 800 free, made all the more impressive by the fact that she was required in prelims for them even to qualify.<\/p>\n<p>Her reward for all that hard work came Friday night <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-night-6-mollie-ocallaghan-adds-2nd-gold-in-100-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when she got a bronze medal in the 100 free<\/a>, her time of 52.71 trailing <strong>Mollie O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong> and <strong>Siobhan Haughey.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just try to enjoy it,\u201d she said. \u201cIf I enjoy it, I can swim fast. Yesterday, I was trying to and I really enjoyed it. I was just like, OK I\u2019m going to race fast and I got third, and I was really happy by that. It was like, OK, all the hard work paid off, and seeing everyone happy and my parents in the stands, it\u2019s just what you do it for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Relays have a psychologically energizing effect for Steenbergen. She hasn\u2019t had many bad swims to recover from \u2013 the 200 IM was one she wasn\u2019t pleased with on Monday night. But she got right back at it Tuesday morning in the 200 free, and the mixed 400 medley relay on Wednesday helped her turn the page.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_533469\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-533469\" data-attachment-id=\"533469\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/worlds-at-18-swims-and-counting-marrit-steenbergen-relishes-busy-schedule\/20th-world-aquatics-championships-fukuoka-2023-244\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-world-championships-day-3-48.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Andrea Masini \\\/ Deepbluemedia \\\/ Insidefoto&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON Z 9&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Marrit Steenbergen of the Netherlands competes in the Women&#039;s Freestyle 200m Heats during the 20th World Aquatics Championships at the Marine Messe Hall A in Fukuoka (Japan), July 25th, 2023.&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1690283654&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Andrea Masini \\\/ Deepbluemedia \\\/ Insidefoto&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;560&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;4000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;20th World Aquatics Championships Fukuoka 2023&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20th World Aquatics Championships Fukuoka 2023\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Marrit Steenbergen of the Netherlands competes in the Women&#8217;s Freestyle 200m Heats during the 20th World Aquatics Championships at the Marine Messe Hall A in Fukuoka (Japan), July 25th, 2023.

So that\u2019s really good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of Paris, Steenbergen will face a decision. She\u2019s a medal contender in a couple of events, maybe more if she narrows her program to a few key events she can focus on. Or \u2026 she can keep up the high volume, especially if the Dutch have a piece or two emerge to make them medal contenders in a relay or two (maybe a mixed medley, or the women\u2019s medley, with <strong>Tes Schouten<\/strong> coming off a great race.)<\/p>\n<p>For now, Steenbergen is endeavoring to keep herself busy in Paris, where the swim events will be stretched over nine days instead of eight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do want to do all the events in Paris,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of a big meet there, too. But there is one more day, so I don\u2019t have more than three swims in a day so the schedule is better there.
