In London, I was pretty green, and I was very excited. That played to my strengths, I think. Rio, there was a hell of a lot more pressure on my coming in as the defending champion (in the 200 butterfly). So the experience was very, very different, and I had some difficult challenges outside the pool with my family, my mom especially being very sick with cancer. So that was a weird one for me, probably the most difficult one. And Tokyo was hard to even put into words because it didn\u2019t feel like an Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>If I combine the three experiences, I\u2019d say I\u2019ve learned to manage the highs and manage the lows. Don\u2019t let the highs be too high, and don\u2019t let the lows be too low. Just make sure that you\u2019re staying cool in the leadup to it, with your preparation, with your rest, with your recovery.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, it\u2019s going to come down to moments. It\u2019s a minute, two minutes, four minutes, whatever. Everything comes down to moments. Prepare yourself the best you can, and enjoy the whole buildup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emma McKeon, Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To expect the unexpected and just roll with it. The Olympics is full of surprises.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regan Smith, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I like having the experience of a Games under my belt so I know what I\u2019m in for. Granted, it was a COVID year last time, so things are going to look different regardless, but I remember feeling that way about 2021 Olympic Trials. I liked that I had 2016 Olympic Trials under my belt, so I walked into 2021 Trials knowing what to expect, kind of knowing the way that things work and how things were going to work, and I wasn\u2019t going into it blind, so I think that eased my pre-race anxiety. I like knowing what to expect, so that will be great.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Temple, Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have learned to never give up and always have a crack. Don\u2019t be sad in the results, and look for all the positives for next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gutter Talk: What Have Veterans Learned From Previous Olympic Experiences?
