Douglass on training for the 200m breaststroke: “I have really enjoyed training (for) breaststroke and I realized that it could be one of my best events.

Fallon on his tempo in the last 50 of the race: “I started to take it out more than usual. And I feel like just as long as I can hold that, I will be able to go pretty fast. I definitely exceeded my expectations a bunch.  

Fallon on the talented field: “Man I saw Leon but I was really just swimming in my own lane. It’s an amazing show all around. Just really good execution.”
