Quotes:
Cordes: “It feels great, I didn’t get to swim [this race] in 2015, so I’m definitely excited to start off the meet like this. I’ve built a lot of confidence … especially coming off the Olympic year. Being with Team USA and the training camp kind of gets you right back in it – re-motivated. It’s a great atmosphere.”
Cordes (on racing next to Adam Peaty): “It was awesome, you know he’s going to go out fast … you kind of just want to stay right there, and hopefully bring it home. I had really nothing to lose, so I just kind of went for it.”Women’s 100m Butterfly – Final

Race Notes
Quotes
Worrell: “It’s just incredible, I’ve just been praying so much after last summer … That was really stressful last night in the semifinal. I knew I had what it takes, but after ninth last year [at the 2016 Olympics], it’s really hard but this race is so good. I’m really thankful, that was an incredible field … I’m just grateful to have gotten my hand on the wall third.”

Race Notes:
Quotes:
Cox: “I’m not too great at the front of my race, so I just had to push that back half … I knew I was going to go for it at the end and go as hard as I could into the wall. This is my first world championships, long course, and I’m happy … this is just another stepping stone, I want to be better, but that time will come and I just have to keep working hard.”
Cox (on seeing her bronze finish): “I honestly was a little surprised, that was my goal, but it was still a little surprising to see that when I touched the wall … but I kept to my game plan and my head down.”
