    Remedy Rule is ready

    TOKYO—Remedy Rule competes in the women’s 100 meters butterfly heats on Saturday night in a field of 34 where the top 16 will advance to the swimming event’s semifinals at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre.

    The 24-year-old Filipino-Texan, owner of two silver and two bronze medals from the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, is swimming in Heat 2 of the five-heat qualifiers.

    “I'm very happy for her that she has reached this level,” said Philippine Swimming Inc. president Lailani Velasco. “If I’m excited, she’s more excited.”

    Rule set her best time of 59.55 seconds in the event in the Elite Invite tournament in Texas last May.

    Rule was in the pool on Friday afternoon honing for Saturday’s heat upon instruction of coach Sherwin Santiago. She will also compete in the 200m freestyle.

    The other Filipino swimmer in the Games, Filipino-Kiwi Luke Gebbie, will vie in the men’s 100m freestyle on Sunday and 50m freestyle on Friday.

     

    Both qualified in the Tokyo Olympics under the universality rule.

    Chase Kalisz knows what’s coming: Pain, and lots of it in the 400-meter individual medley that gets swimming underway at the Tokyo Olympics.

    The eight-lap race requires endurance, technique and strategy while fighting off weary legs and arms churning through all four strokes — butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle — not to mention negotiating the many turns.

    “I’ve had races where I was never really nervous for the race but I was more so nervous for the pain that was about to come and how I was going to feel the next day,” Kalisz said. “That’s really what the culmination of this year for me has been, embracing that, looking forward to that.”

    The nine-day competition begins Saturday night with preliminary heats in six events. Four finals will be contested on Sunday morning, the first time finals are held in the morning since the 2008 Beijing Games so they can be shown live in prime time in the U.S.
