There are few sporting events that beat out competing at the Olympics every four years, and Alex Walsh knows all about being on the main stage.

Walsh will compete in the 200-meter individual medley on Friday. She previously won a silver medal in the event during the Tokyo Games in 2021 in 2:08.65.

This week, Walsh’s social media was put under a chokehold after pictures of her in a bikini went incredibly viral.

Seeing Alex Walsh in a bikini isn’t that shocking since that is basically what she does for a living while swimming, but seeing her in a two-piece sets her pictures apart. She gets to show off her complete curves, which has earned her nearly 80,000 followers on Instagram.

Walsh also has a younger sister in Gretchen Walsh, who just finished the 100-meter freestyle on Wednesday in eighth after being the last to qualify for the semifinals.

Walsh, a Harpeth Hall graduate, has won two silver medals during her first Olympic Games.

Alex Walsh Was A Beast In College

Alex Walsh was always destined for greatness.

Growing up, Walsh was a phenom who started setting national age group records at 12.

In high school, she led her team to multiple state and national championships. At the 2019 Pan American Games, she won three gold medals.

She was even better in college as Alex Walsh started her NCAA career at the University of Virginia in 2020 and helped the program win NCAA Championships in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, per Wikipedia.

As stated before, she qualified for the 2020 Olympic Games and won the silver medal in the 200 m individual medley.

Alex earned 19 NCAA championships and was an All-American 27 times during four national title-winning seasons at Virginia.
