Team USA ultimately placed fifth in the relay.
Team USA’s Lydia Jacoby is speaking out after experiencing a mishap during the Olympic debut of the mixed 4x100m medley relay on Friday at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre.
Jacoby, who followed Ryan Murphy in the relay, was disrupted when her goggles slipped down beneath her nose after she dove into the water. During, the young swimmer appeared to be squinting as she continued to soldier on through her stroke to continue the relay. The United States did not medal in the mixed 4x100m medley relay, placing in fifth while Great Britain took the gold with a world record time of 3:37:58.Maddie Meyer / Getty Images“I’ve never really had that happen before,” Jacoby said, according to. “It’s out of my control at that point once I was in the water, so I just swam as best I could with what was happening at the moment.”
Her teammate, Murphy, came to her support, explaining that he thought the team’s relay performance was “solid.” “The rest of the group did really well,” he said. “I’m really proud of Lydia and how she handled those circumstances. Anyone who has swam with their goggles in their mouth, like she did — she did fantastic there. The rest of the relay did really nice as well.”While the goggles might have caused a predicament during the mixed 4x100m medley relay, they still hold a special place in Jacoby’s heart.
