The Alaskan darling of the Tokyo Games will be watching the Paris Olympics from home.If she watches at all.\u201cYou know, I haven\u2019t quite gotten there yet,\u201d Jacoby said. \u201cI haven\u2019t really processed the fact that I won\u2019t be swimming there. I\u2019m honestly not really sure if I want to watch my event.\u201dThe Olympics are a fickle beast, and no one knows that better than Jacoby.After becoming the first swimmer from Alaska to make the powerhouse American team, Jacoby won a stunning gold medal in the 100-meter breaststroke in Japan, knocking off favorite Lilly King.Jacoby won\u2019t get a chance to defend her title in France.She finished third in her signature event at the the U.S. Olympic trials. Only the top two will get to swim in Paris.\u201cIt hasn\u2019t quite hit me yet,\u201d Jacoby said Tuesday. \u201cI definitely had a little cry last night. But I\u2019ve been doing pretty well today, so I\u2019m sure there\u2019ll be a lot of time to cross those emotions in the next couple of weeks. I trying to line up some fun things to look forward to this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After winning a gold medal at age 17 \u2014 and doing it, no less, as a native of tiny Seward, Alaska (population: 2,851) \u2014 Jacoby found it a bit challenging to deal with her swimming fame. <\/p>\n<p>Her entire hometown seemed to climb on the bandwagon, famously cheering her on from afar as she touched the wall at the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Games.<\/p>\n<p>The adulation took a toll. Jacoby said she went through some \u201cpost-Olympic depression and kind of feeling like my identity was locked up in sports.\u201d She had to persuade herself that she was more than a swimmer.\u201cBeing a swimmer is something I do,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s not something I am. I have so many interests and passions. I have amazing friends, amazing family outside of the sport. So I feel like remembering those things is just a big thing for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She arrived in Indianapolis feeling good about her chances of making another Olympic team, even though King, the longtime American breaststroke stalwart, was still in the mix.King won the 100 breast Monday night, which wasn\u2019t a major surprise, but Jacoby was also beaten by Emma Weber, who claimed the second spot on the Olympic team by 0.27 seconds. \u201cI\u2019m a little frustrated,\u201d Jacoby said. \u201cI\u2019m so happy for Lily. I\u2019m so happy for Emma. I\u2019ve been racing both of them for years. It\u2019s gonna be an amazing experience, so I wish them both the best. But it\u2019s just frustrating.\u201dKing said her \u201cheart absolutely breaks\u201d for the swimmer who had been her biggest American rival.\u201cThat\u2019s just kind of how this meet rolls,\u201d King said. \u201cIt will make your career and break your career in a minute. It\u2019s the hardest meet in the world. It\u2019s a lot harder than the Olympics in my opinion. I hope she can move forward from this, and I\u2019m rooting for her always.\u201dJacoby noted that her third-place time of 1 minute, 6.37 seconds was more than a second slower than what she produced at the 2021 trials. It wasn\u2019t even close to her gold medal-winning time of 1:04.95 at the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t feel like I put up a swim that was a good representation of what I can do, which is the most frustrating part to me,\u201d Jacoby said. \u201cBut I\u2019ll be back and be better.\u201dIndeed, Jacoby intends to keep swimming with an eye on the 2028 Los Angeles Games. She\u2019s only 20 years old, with plenty of potentially prime years still in front of her. Any thoughts of retirement \u2014 which definitely crossed her mind after Tokyo \u2014 have been pushed aside.\u201cObviously, I put a lot of emotion into this and it is pretty devastating,\u201d she said. \u201cBut it\u2019s also not the end of the road.\u201d___AP Summer Olympics: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/2024-paris-olympic-games<\/p>\n<p>  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {<br \/>\n      FB.init({<\/p>\n<p>              appId : &#8216;870613919693099&#8217;,<\/p>\n<p>          xfbml : true,<br \/>\n          version : &#8216;v2.9&#8217;<br \/>\n      });<br \/>\n  };<\/p>\n<p>  (function(d, s, id){<br \/>\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];<br \/>\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}<br \/>\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;<br \/>\n     js.src = &#8220;https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js&#8221;;<br \/>\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);<br \/>\n   }(document, &#8216;script&#8217;, &#8216;facebook-jssdk&#8217;));<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic INDIANAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Lydia Jacoby is still a bit shell-shocked.
