Those are the words of a self-assured individual less than twenty-four hours prior to her Women’s 100m Freestyle race.
The race Colleen Furgeson was referring to was during the recent Pacific Games in Port Moresby, in which she recorded a time of 1 minute 06.19 seconds, which she deemed unsatisfactory. The Kwajalein born athlete relished another chance in the pool only a few weeks after her last attempt.
Her final race in the 16th FINA World Championships, in Kazan, gave her this opportunity.
