.TRSchoenmaker admits that she is feeling the effects of daily racing but she hopes to finish the Tokyo Olympics in style with a gold medal. By ashfakmohamed IOLsport TeamSA
Schoenmaker was again close to the world record of 2:19.11 in her semi-final, but appeared to get her timing wrong at the finish, as she made an extra stroke instead of gliding into the wall.
“To be honest, I haven’t seen anything – I really am not much on my phone. So I haven’t seen anything since the day I started swimming. I put all notifications off as well, so for me, it’s quiet, just so that I can focus,” Schoenmaker said. But now it’s about producing the perfect race in the final, and getting that gold medal that eluded her in the 100m breaststroke, where she had to be satisfied with silver.
“For me, it was just again a reminder to focus on my own race. I swim better when I am in my own lane. It does get challenging, especially in the 100, when we all are so close to each other,” she said.
