Girls: another candidate for long course success could be Loevseth (won her only trip to middle distance).

Any non front pack ITU swimmers are often strong tt bikers.
Haug transitioned just under 7 years ago: @sidelined ftw. Very well aware that there are loadsamen: not my proposition/question which was: "Moving up in the last 7 years, apart from Knibb and Gentle, name a female athlete who performed at short course top level (say ranked top 20 WTS any year) who has prospered in middle let alone long distance."
Loevseth is not a top 20 WTCS athlete - the only way she'll get a start in Paris is if Norway come first two in the Huatulco MTR. She won well at Indian Wells. Maybe she'll be given a T100 wildcard - but there'll only be an average of 4 women's wildcards from SF onwards and considerable demand.
She should jump ship to middle distance as soon as she can to realise her potential. Riding round in the third pack in draft-legal races cannot be fulfilling. She's only 24 though.
