had to say regarding her new WR ![🔥](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t50/1/16/1f525.png)
"I knew I was close to the world record, I got close recently a few times and everyone around me kept telling me I could do it. I just tried not to think about that as all I wanted to do is really focus on my race plan; how I was going to swim well. I think that was the right thing to do, not think too much about the record, just focus on what I have to do."
