Katherine Savard is now ending her successful career that could have ended up as a world record.
She participated in the calcification in Toronto for the Summer Olympics of 2024 in Paris. But at her last chance on Friday, the Pont-Rouge swimmer finished 11th in the 100 m freestyle preliminaries, with a time of 55.58 s, 4 hundredths from the final. But she unfortunately did not make it to her fourth Olympics. So that means she will not make a world record.
Katherine Savard is one of the prides of the Province of Quebec in the swimming area. She was born in Quebec on May 26, 1993, but she is a native of Pont-Rouge. She had been moving a lot to follow her dream. She’s now living in Montréal.
Katherine Savard began competitively swimming for the Unik swimming club of Pont-Rouge when she was only 10 years old. She participated in her first Olympic games in London in 2012. After that in 2013 she won first place in the 100m butterfly, which made a competition record in the summer Universiades. Not so long after she went to the 2016 Rio Olympics and to the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
On top of that, she played in a movie in 2020 called Nadiya Butterfly. It’s a movie that talks about an Olympic swimmer called Nadiya who has to face a lot of challenges due to her imminent retirement. So it kind of reflected what’s happening to her.
Unfortunately, she will not be able to attend the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris but as she said in an interview for La Presse she doesn’t know if it will happen in the future so maybe she will be more invested in the teaching area or maybe she will become a trainer
