Gretchen WALSH (USA), Gold, Women’s 50m Butterfly

“I’m very proud. That was a great swim, feels great to feel like myself again in the water after a rough week. Two-time world champion, can’t complain about that.”

Alexandria PERKINS (AUS), Silver, Women’s 50m Butterfly

“I’m really happy with that, it’s a bit of a relief to be honest because finals are always so nerve-wracking. But the more I get to race at this level, the more experience you get, and that makes it a little better.”

Cameron MCEVOY (AUS), Gold, Men’s 50m Freestyle

“First, I want to shout out to Maddi at home. I couldn’t be here without her. Shoutout to Hartley, my three-week-old son. It’s unreal. 

“That was my mindset before this. It sounds cliché, but in or lose, I’m going home a winner. It’s given me a new light on the sport, on life, something new to navigate, and I’ll see where it takes me in the future.” 

Benjamin PROUD (GBR), Silver, Men’s 50m Freestyle

“The less-than-ideal run-up almost took the pressure off. I just aimed to get through the rounds, hoping to sneak a podium spot. My analogy is I always want to be among the best, so when opportunities arise, I’m there to reap the rewards."

Kaylee MCKEOWN (AUS), Gold, Women’s 200m Backstroke

“Something I’ve been really working on is focusing on my own race. I think it really helped me on the outside lane, not seeing the other girls around me, and just really focusing on what I’ve been working on. I don’t see a whole lot when I’m racing. I had to ask for my time at the end.” 

Regan SMITH (USA), Silver, Women’s 200m Backstroke

“It’s really special, it’s been a while since we had two Americans on the podium in the 200 backstroke. It’s 2025 and we have 3 years until the big dance (in LA) so that is something we absolutely want to repeat in the years going forward.”

Claire CURZAN (USA), Bronze, Women’s 200m Backstroke

“First medal in 200 backstroke, so I'm happy with how this event is developing for me and excited for the future. I'm proud of how it was executed, all things considered, with this being a big national stage and the first time racing this event in prelims, semi-finals and final format at an international meet.”

Maxime GROUSSET (FRA), Gold, Men’s 100m Butterfly

“I don't know what to say, but thank you. I heard you during the race, thank you all. I found more strength and more power in the water, that’s all.”

Noe PONTI (SUI), Silver, Men’s 100m Butterfly

“Good, I feel good. I did a great race and swam fast. 49.8, pretty good. I missed gold again against Maxime, but it is what it is and that’s the sport. I’m happy for him and he went faster. Congrats to him.”

Katie LEDECKY (USA), Gold, Women’s 800m Freestyle

“That’s pretty incredible, three of us going under 8:10… incredibly fast. They pushed me all the way. I’m just really happy I could put that together. I just told myself to trust my legs, because I’ve gotten a bit better at kicking. Just running home at the end.

“I just came in tonight, trying to enjoy it as much as I can. I don’t think I have anything to lose at this point of my career. Just enjoying the crowd, swimming against the best in the world. Everyone in that heat is the next generation of swimmers coming up; just proud to be a part of it.” 

Lani PALLISTER (AUS), Silver, Women’s 800m Freestyle

“I didn't really feel like I was in it. I feel like I was kind of just watching them to go about their business, and I was kind of just on the side thinking, ‘Oh, who’s going to win?’ But I'm really happy with how I put it together. This is such a big week. I think Katie and I have both done 5.6km of racing, so to drop an 8:05 off the back of it is huge.”

Summer MCINTOSH (CAN), Bronze, Women’s 800m Freestyle

“I hate losing more than I like winning and I think that’s a mentality that I carried with myself through my entire career and that’s my hand on the wall first most of the time.  The feeling right now is something I never want to feel again.

“I’m excited to finish off this meet with a really strong swim and I have full confidence for the IM. I went into the 800 free with full confidence as well so I think this is a really big learning lesson for me.” 

Patrick SAMMON (USA), Gold, Mixed 4x100m Freestyle

"It’s been a really long meet. A lot of people racing a lot of events, but I think the coolest part is that everyone stepped up. We all wanted to do this relay, we all wanted to go fast, and we had a lot of fun doing it. We were all texting last night about how excited we were, and I think that showed in the pool."

Kate DOUGLASS (USA), Gold, Mixed 4x100m Freestyle

“I think we all came out here tonight really wanting to get that first win for team USA. And to do it in a world record, I think we all knew in the back of our minds we had that ability. And I'm really happy with how that turned out.”

Ivan GIREV (NAB), Silver, Mixed 4x100m Freestyle

“For me, it’s a big deal to come back after stopping for competition for a long time. I’m very happy to be here and show that I can (swim) close to my best time. There were some low days, but I’m here and I’m feeling good feelings. This week surprised me.”

Maxime GROUSSET (FRA), Bronze, Mixed 4x100m Freestyle

“I'm very proud of this team. I'm very proud of those who swam in the morning. We did very great. We swim fast. It's good.”
