Has she shared what the meaning behind “overtraining syndrome” is and what it entails? Otherwise the terms used don’t give much detail. Would love to see interviewers actually probe on this more.
Generally speaking, athletes train to increase performance. Performance increases are achieved through increased training loads. Increased loads are tolerated only through interspersed periods of rest and recovery-training periodization. Overreaching is considered an accumulation of training load that leads to performance decrements requiring days to weeks for recovery.14,30 Overreaching followed by appropriate rest can ultimately lead to performance increases.14,30 However, if overreaching is extreme and combined with an additional stressor, overtraining syndrome (OTS) may result.30 OTS may be caused by systemic inflammation and subsequent effects on the central nervous system, including depressed mood, central fatigue, and resultant neurohormonal changes.2,45,46 This article summarizes previous literature and updates the European College of Sport Science’s position statement.30
I am not going to argue that there is no such a thing as overtraining, but 3-4 weeks off and then re-defining/managing future training loads seems plenty reasonable to me. Taking more than 6 months off as a swim pro is tantamount to waiving the potential to ever PR in your strongest event again. Swimming is just unforgiving in that way...just my personal opinion. Anyway, she accomplished everything there is to accomplish in the sport and then some anyway, so she has license to do whatever she wants as far as I'm concerned
yeah but she got 4th which means she didn't qualify in the individual, only the relay, and she was 1 second off her personal best so kind of what I expected.
Welcome back Icon
I hope she wins in Paris
I doubt it

Luckily, this is just your opinion, and not the fact of the matter.
@@Rensa803 hmmm then maybe you don't know swimming.
She never won individuly at the Olympics, she tied.
Welp she qualified for Paris, let's see the haters clear their dusty throats
