With a time of 3:33,02, American athletes Ress, Finnerty, Shebat and Apple conquer first place in the 4x100m medley relay.
“We made many sacrifices stealing time from our hobbies to get this level.”
Finnerty declares that, to him and his teammates, music is a fundamental tool for concentration before every competition: “We find music relaxing”.
According to the athletes, it is quite hard to find some time for themselves at these levels, since they must prioritize study and training.
