one eighty three the next close to fifty two
as Pavlova
RPC will be next to long lane number five
and be credible thing about this feel taught is that this
time
long swim in the preliminaries was not even her fastest time
this year she even faster in twenty twenty
has been Lucas looking on back in Baltimore Maryland
Jessica long on the cover of Sports Illustrated of course
the Superbowl commercial which probably raise the stock value
of Kleenex because everyone had a good cry without one twenty
four Paralympic medals already with a bronze
at these games coming in the one hundred meter back on data
birth records least favorite event
it'll for five individual plans plus you got to put on a really
because she is money
wow great Richie time for just a long
as if she needs any help so she's off on the butterfly
and we saw the way the Jessica long and heated shepherd both
start using a towel the blocks to protect their lower legs and
then launching themselves off with
their arms if you're going up against Jessica long how would
you approach this is there any word that she has a weak as we
capitalize
each is so common
first I would say a prayer
I would remember that she's
won a medal in every single street in the Paralympics so
it's really difficult to even identify a week stroke for
Jessica long
she is now off to the backstroke her least favorite
but she's already won a bronze medal in that it's something
your least favorite in your stomach paralytic podium you're
doing something right just go along
with twenty four
Olympic medals looking to make it twenty five
she says she's most excited for this event she really loves
the challenge of putting together all four strokes in addition to
the insurance necessary to finish two hundred meter that
he can separate the top of the screen she's in lane and number
one
going into the breaststroke now expect Jessica to hold onto
this lead and that really opened it up into the final
fifty when it's freestyle
she has the paralytic record at two thirty seven own nine as we
said before thirty one world record to fall in this pool
do you think two thirty five thirty Diggs within her reach
I don't put anything in the fridge for the great Jessica
she looks like she's having really strongly you could see
on her breast or just
she gets her out to the side to really catch as much water as
possible
just how %HESITATION just
long is here now
breaststroke she's basically lebron James is basically just
a lot of the NBA to put the context is so dominant for so
long
Paralympic Games
back in Athens age of twelve
this is the defending champion in this event from the Rio
Paralympic Games this is her only gold medal there and she
was so please and I know
she's looking to add another gold medal
here in Tokyo alone on the final fifty this is
the freestyle for her American hearing shepherd lane number
will keep an eye on her on
metal once but this is all just go along
she is taking control of this race from the outset and now she's
just crushing the rest of the competition
and she has a beautiful freestyle to bring it home
Jessica long at twenty nine years of age
has even discussed retirement
with
less than three years away she will continue to add to that
hall and
make it number twenty five for just a long
battles she claims
with him
palazzo will take the silver
and it will be a little with the bronze but there is no
question about it Jessica long the queen of the
so when we think about Jessica's race what this means for her
this is going to set the tone for the rest of her meet
she started off on a good
note with the backstroke but
this is the event that she really puts in a lot of training for
and for her to see all of this training pay off with a really
solid time and most importantly for her a gold medal it's going
to give her a lot of confidence going into the her remainder
three individual events
so two events for her two medals one bronze and now will
Goldie she defends the title from the Rio games just along
looking forward to this event is two hundred meter individual
medley she puts her stamp on the competition
I'm going no where
four gold medals in a row %HESITATION Jessica Lawson
