Her interview after the IM was ridiculous. "...when I'm so fast in all the strokes I should be the queen bee of the IM...."
I think you misinterpreted her intent. It just didn't come out very well. She IS great in every stroke (other than ***) so she SHOULD be good in IM. The part that was off-putting was the whole "I don't even know how to swim that race" stuff. Kind of demeaning to all the other swimmers who do know how to swim it, but still couldn't beat her.
A couple on collegeswimming.com are speculating she'll scratch the 200 IM for the Olympics. I'm skeptical, but we do know she doesn't like to overload on events.
