Mo is on a roll.
Moesha Johnson (27, Australia, MSF bio here, World Aquatics bio here, @swimmer_moe) said after her silver medal performance in the 2024 Paris Olympic 10K Marathon Swim in the Seine, “Now that the Olympics has come to an end, I can realize what I achieved. The enormity of the Games is so hard to process, especially whilst remaining focused. An individual Olympic medal on an Olympic debut. Plus a 6th place Olympic final in the pool.”
What can she possibly achieve?
A gold in LA28.
Last year since her finished sixth in the 1500m freestyle in the pool and won a silver medal in the marathon swim at the Paris Olympics, Johnson finished 8th in the Open Water Swimming World Cup in Portugal, won the 10 km Open Water Swimming World Cup in Hong Kong, was a member of the winning 4x1500m mixed relay in Hong Kong, finished 5th in the 400m freestyle, finished 8th in the 200m freestyle, and finished 2nd in the 800m freestyle at the Singapore [pool] World Cup, and finished the year winning the World Aquatics Open Water Swimming World Cup finale in Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea by an almost unheard of 31 seconds.
She started off 2025 with a resounding victory in the Australian 10 km Open Water Championships at Busselton Jetty in Western Australia, winning AUS$8000 and beating fellow Australian Olympian Chelsea Gubecka and Olympic bronze medalist Ginevra Taddeucci of Italy by over 32 seconds – a huge gap among elite marathon swimmers.
She also most recently won the World Aquatics Open Water Swimming World Cup 2025 – Stop 3 in Setubal, Portugal on June 14th, heading into Singapore with speed, stamina, and confidence. With 2:01 200m and a 4:06 400m speed combined with a 8:25m 800m and 15:55 1500m stamina, Johnson is not about to slow down with the World Championships in Singapore starting next week.
