How hard is it to qualify for the olympics?

Спорт

Diving into a new challenge! When the opportunity to compete in the olympic swimming trials came along, Lucy wanted to test herself and see if a triathlete can really compete against the best swimmers in the country!
From pain cave to pool - follow her adapted training plan, channeling everything to work on improving the swim discipline. Focusing on swim sessions and strength training, with bike and run sessions used to play into optimising the 1500m. We also take a behind the scenes look at nutrition and hotel quarantine life.
Is it really possible for a triathlete, former swimmer, to find her feet again in the pool and get back up to speed?

    Noone.... literally NOONE:.... Lucy: I am gonna train 6 weeks and THEN race in the Olympic trials....( dominates the field in the 1500 and gets second by a margin of 0.17 seconds) ❤🏊‍♀️💪

    She beat Ledecky? Hmmm If she could beat ledecky she would have given up on triathlon for a while and take home the gold. Nobody turns own Olympic Gold
