Lucy is one of the best swimmers in the triathlon world and now she is going to try her Olympic dream, to be in the Olympics.
As a teenager, Charles competed for the British national team and came very close to making it to the 2012 Olympics in open water.
In that year, five women had reached the minimum, with only one available place and in the end the 18-year-old girl did not get the place.
The minimum for qualifying is at 16:05.
This year, Lucy comes to the test as one of the favorites with similar times to her competitors. The minimum for qualifying is at 16:05.
Charles comes to this competition after being second at Challenge Miami, with a 2 minute penalty that cost her victory and another second place at the SLT Arena Games in London a few weeks ago.
Lucy commented on social networks
