“I’m so angry. I’ll never get a chance like that again. It’s just sad,” said Gose, despite the fact that she won the German team’s fifth medal at the World Championships: Angelina Köhler had gold in the 100 meter butterfly Lukas Märtens won bronze in the 400 meter freestyle.
Gose, who trains in Magdeburg with national long-distance coach Bernd Berkhahn, had been working towards her first World Cup medal for a long time. Now she could look forward to three. She took advantage of the extraordinary opportunity of the first World Cup in the year of the Olympic Games. She also benefited from the fact that outstanding middle and long-distance swimmers were not there during the preparations for the Olympics. Among those missing were seven-time Olympic champion Katie Ledecky from the USA and Ariarne Titmus from Australia.
