. She would go on to spend seven hours at a hospital getting tested, followed by two days of bed rest. Katie herself later admitted that she felt so poorly during her 1,500 prelim that she almost got out of the pool with 400 meters left to go.

The 800-meter freestyle was Katie's final race at this ill-fated World Championships in Gwangju, South Korea.

The hard-fought gold capped off perhaps the toughest meet of her pro career."It wasn't the week that I prepared for and the week that I was expecting to have," Katie told POPSUGAR."I had a really great year of training and so I was expecting to have a really great meet, but some things you just can't control and so I just dealt with the circumstances that I had to deal with."
