Race Notes:
Quotes:
Manuel: “It was a lot of fun and there was a lot of energy in the ready room … it was just exciting, it was different, but it’s pretty cool that it’s going to be an Olympic event.”
Dressel: “I just want to do my part on these relays. It was a lot of fun swimming with the girls and everyone did really, really well… I didn’t think we were going to go faster than what the prelims swimmers did, so that was amazing. Eight guys and girls from America and the two fastest times in the world.”
Grevers: “I think the coaches put all of our splits together to find the fastest combination … It was pretty cool that we could have had two separate relays go 1-2 up there. That just shows awesome depth of Team USA. Two world records in the same day with eight different people… I don’t know how often that happens.”

Race Notes:
Quotes:
Ledecky: “I just try to stay focused on my own race plan and try and execute that the best I can … didn’t quite go as I hoped. Yesterday was obviously faster. I’ll review the race video and see where I kind of slipped up, but that’s some good motivation for moving forward.”
Ledecky (on her race plan): “I just try to go out with some easy speed and really push the back half, and I could just feel it at the end that I didn’t really have that extra gear that I normally have … I was just trying to get my hand to the wall. I couldn’t really see much on the last 50m.”
Ledecky (on silver): “Maybe I haven’t been quite on point as much as I would have hoped to have been this week, but I still have been feeling good and that was mostly just a matter of how I executed my race. I think I’m still learning … over the years, over the months on how to manage those expectations, but I don’t think that had any effect on me today. It happens to every athlete at some point. I know this race will really motivate me moving forward, and with the rest of the week as well.”

Quotes:
