The progress we have made together is evidence of the support and collaboration that has been achieved, and we greatly appreciate the contribution of all stakeholder\u2019s in our progress and results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur team is a young team with much improvement still within them. Our individual gold medallists\u00a0<strong>Kyle Chalmers<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Mack<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Horton<\/strong>\u00a0both debuted at the Rio Olympics, as did\u00a0<strong>Madeline Groves<\/strong>\u00a0who won silver in the 200m butterfly.\u00a0<strong>Emma McKeon<\/strong>\u00a0who finished the Games with four medals, the most of any Australian athlete, is another young member of the team. In total, it was the first Olympic Games for 24 members of the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are also very fortunate to have a number of successful and experienced team members, mentoring and providing guidance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn relay events we managed to secure a medal in five of the six events, including gold and a new World Record in the Women\u2019s 4 x 100m freestyle relay. The signs are strong for the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we don\u2019t step away from is that we did not maximise all of our opportunities in Rio and that we will review all elements of our program to improve further.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat has delighted me throughout and following the Rio Olympics is how every member of the team and the organisation had responded to the victories, defeats and challenges. Without exception, every individual at every level of our organisation has responded well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are united in our pursuit to build on the progress we have made. We will challenge ourselves to improve further on our performance. And together, we will work collaboratively with all of our partners to ensure that we apply the lessons and build on the progress that we have made.\u00a0<em>Australia\u2019s Winning Edge<\/em>\u00a0strategy is the foundation that will ensure that this all occurs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swimming Australia President,\u00a0<strong>John Bertrand<\/strong>\u00a0AO said, \u201cWe have made progress and we have the talent to challenge the world again in Tokyo 2020. We can and will learn from our Rio experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike any high performance organisation, we continually review all aspects of what we do. This\u00a0process has commenced\u00a0already.\u00a0We will continue to\u00a0challenge ourselves,\u00a0benchmark ourselves\u00a0across\u00a0world\u2019s best practice\u00a0and implement the findings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased and endorse the ASC\u2019s announcement that, in line with their previous plans, they are undertaking a review and refining\u00a0<em>Australia\u2019s Winning<\/em>\u00a0<em>Edge<\/em>\u00a0following the Rio Olympics. This is a good process and is aligned to our own plans and we will work with them to ensure both reviews work in tandem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe support the core fundamentals of\u00a0<em>Australia\u2019s Winning Edge<\/em>. It is a rigorous process that evaluates and sets benchmarks on all areas of our sport,\u00a0and as a sport we accept accountability for the results that we achieve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe achieved\u00a0a number of\u00a0the\u00a0targets that we\u00a0set for Rio\u00a0but not all. In reviewing our program and performance we will ensure we apply world\u2019s best practice to all areas of our high performance program. We have a great base to build on as we look forward to the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in 2018 and the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Press release courtesy of Swimming Australia.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SWIMMING AUSTRALIA today welcomed\u00a0the Australian Sports Commission\u2019s\u00a0announcement of its continuing commitment to\u00a0Australia\u2019s Winning Edge\u00a0strategy.
