Ruck Withdrawn from 200-m Freestyle

Swimming Canada – Swimming Canada confirms that Taylor Ruck has withdrawn from the 200-m freestyle at FINA World Championships. Statement from High Performance Director and National Coach John Atkinson:

“It’s her first world championships and she was looking at swimming a very busy program consisting of four individual events which would have heats, semifinals and finals, and potentially four or five relays. We have made this decision in consultation with Taylor and her coach Ben Titley at the High Performance Centre – Ontario to protect her performances for the rest of the world championships. Dropping the 200-m freestyle swims from her program will allow her to focus on her remaining events. The world championships this year is the prelude to Olympic Games preparation next year and this is all part of keeping the long-term best interests of the athlete at the centre of the decision.”
