Why U.s. Swimmer Alex Walsh Was Disqualified Despite Finishing Third

U.S. swimmer Alex Walsh, who seemed to be on the way to winning the women’s 200-m individual medley but finished third, was disqualified. Walsh was leading until the last 25 m of the final freestyle lap but was out-touched at the wall by Canada’s Summer McIntosh and fellow teammate Kate Douglass. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] But Walsh, who won a silver in the event in Tokyo, was disqualified for an inappropriate turn from backstroke to breaststroke, according to USA Swimming.
