Cal at ‘19 World Aquatics Championships Recap: 7 relay, 1 team, 2 individual medals

The 2019 World Championships concluded this past weekend. Cal Golden Bears alumni added 3 more medals in the final 2 days, in addition to another near miss.

Cal alum Farida Osman added to her historic first medal from the last World Championships two years ago. Osman again earned a Bronze in the 50 Fly race; an Egyptian Calympian, Osman was the first African to win a swimming medal two years ago (it was in fact the same three swimmers in the same order in this event as 2 year ago). A good bet to be an Olympian again next summer in Tokyo, it is a shame that 50 Fly is not an event in the Olympic Games (only 100 and 200 Fly are raced).
