    “The 100 is my baby — and it’s still my baby," said Olympian Breeja Larson. "I heard so many breaststrokers at trials (last year) say, ‘Alright, the 100 is done, now it’s time for the real breaststroke.’ It almost hurt my feelings. What do you mean it isn’t a real breaststroke? But it’s a lot more admirable to be able to swim the 200 well because it’s such a difficult race to swim.” [Stacie Spring/Tribune]
