FILE - In this Feb. 26, 2020, file photo, Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszú practices during a training session, in Naples. It’s different strokes for different folks in swimming.

She adds that "we are very stubborn and very much hard-working and we can just grind it out.” (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini, File)
