World Championship Swimming: Gose Making His Way to the Final Unencumbered
German Swimmer Isabel Gose Targets Medal in 800m Freestyle Final at Singapore World Swimming Championships
Isabel Gose, a 23-year-old swimmer from Berlin, has qualified for the 800m freestyle final at the Singapore World Swimming Championships. The final is scheduled for 14:21 CEST.
Gose has been training with national coach Bernd Berkhahn in Magdeburg for years and has shown consistent performance in the pool. She qualified for the final with the fourth fastest prelim time of 8:20.21 minutes.
In the women's 400m freestyle final, Gose placed 5th with a time of 3:58.2, according to competition results. Despite this result, Gose remained positive and focused, as indicated by her visible relief about qualifying for the 800m freestyle final.
Gose's strategy for the final is to stay out of the big hustle and bustle in the World Aquatics Championships Arena. This approach comes after a challenging performance in the 1500m, where she exited early. However, distraction and fun with her team helped Gose bounce back.
Gose will face tough competition in the final, with Olympic champions Katie Ledecky (USA), Summer McIntosh (Canada), Lani Pallister (Australia), and Simona Quadarella from Italy also participating. Quadarella is the reigning champion, but with some top stars skipping the title fights in February, the competition for the medals in the 800m freestyle final is different this year.
Despite her early exit in the 1500m, Gose did not seek sports psychological help to bounce back. Instead, she sought distance and focused on her training and preparation for the 800m freestyle final.
Gose won silver in the 800m at last year's World Championships and is hoping to win a medal in the pool to cap her emotionally charged Southeast Asia trip, which included joy over open water gold and frustration over her early exit in the 1500m.
There is no documented evidence or reporting on Isabel Gose's mental struggles or psychological strategies at the Singapore World Swimming Championships in 2025. The search results provide information mainly about her race results and participation, without mention of her mental or emotional experiences at the event.
Regardless, Gose is determined to give her best in the 800m freestyle final and bring home a medal for Germany.
Isabel Gose participated in sports, specifically swimming, and aims to excel in the 800m freestyle final at the Singapore World Swimming Championships. She is previously a silver medalist in the same event at the previous year's World Championships.
