Will they retain their form from Rio and become world champions?<\/p>\n<p>The most exciting race on the women\u2019s side this summer will\u00a0arguably be the 4x100m freestyle relay, with the favorites to win this event most likely being Australia or the USA. At the 2015 World Championships in Kazan, the Australian women touched first in a new championship record of 3:31.48, more than three full seconds ahead of the Americans, who touched third in 3:34.61; while the Netherlands finished second in 3:33.67. At the Olympic Games last year, the Australian women once again defeated the Americans, touching first in a new world record of 3:30.65, while the Americans finished second in a new American record of 3:31.89.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_216404\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-216404\" data-attachment-id=\"216404\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/budapest-2017-womens-4x100m-free-relay-showdown-australia-vs-usa\/campbell-mckeon-elmslie-celebrate-hold-hands-2016-rio-olympics-world-record-gold\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/campbell-mckeon-elmslie-celebrate-hold-hands-2016-rio-olympics-world-record-gold-e1546962534590.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1701,1233\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"campbell-mckeon-elmslie-celebrate-hold-hands-2016-rio-olympics-world-record-gold\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;1\/8\/19&lt;br \/&gt;\n7\/7\/17&lt;br \/&gt;\ncampbell-mckeon-elmslie-celebrate-hold-hands-2016-rio-olympics-world-record-gold&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Erich Schlegel-USA TODAY Sports&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/campbell-mckeon-elmslie-celebrate-hold-hands-2016-rio-olympics-world-record-gold-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/campbell-mckeon-elmslie-celebrate-hold-hands-2016-rio-olympics-world-record-gold-1024x742.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-216404\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/campbell-mckeon-elmslie-celebrate-hold-hands-2016-rio-olympics-world-record-gold-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"campbell-mckeon-elmslie-celebrate-hold-hands-2016-rio-olympics-world-record-gold\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-216404\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Erich Schlegel-USA TODAY Sports<\/p><\/div>\n<p>With the Australian Swimming Championships having already concluded and the Australian roster for Budapest announced, we can more or less guess what their line up for the 4x100m free relay will be. World Record holder\u00a0<strong>Cate Campbell<\/strong> made the decision earlier this year to opt out of this year\u2019s World Championships to focus on next year&#8217;s Commonwealth Games, so her sister <strong>Bronte Campbell<\/strong> and Rio teammate <strong>Emma McKeon<\/strong>\u00a0will be key figures on the relay team. Campbell\u2019s club-mate and rookie <strong>Shayna Jack, <\/strong>along with\u00a0backstroke ace <strong>Madison Wilson,<\/strong>\u00a0finished fourth\u00a0and fifth\u00a0at the Australian Championships respectively, so they could very well fill the rest of the relay line-up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brittany Elmslie, <\/strong>who\u00a0was part of the relay quartet that won the gold in Rio last year, finished sixth\u00a0in the 100 free at the Australian Championships. In Rio, she split a 53.12 on the second leg of the relay, en route to helping the Aussies set a new world record for that event, so she could be in consideration for the relay line up as well. With the top four times from the Australian Nationals added up (minus Cate Campbell\u2019s time), they would clock a 3:33.70, which would have earned them the bronze medal in Kazan, not taking into consideration relay starts.<\/p>\n<p>In Kazan, the USA relay line up consisted of <strong>Missy Franklin<\/strong>, <strong>Margo Geer<\/strong>, <strong>Lia Neal<\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>Simone Manuel,\u00a0<\/strong>while in Rio, the relay team was made up of <strong>Simone Manuel<\/strong>, <strong>Abbey Weitzel<\/strong>, <strong>Dana Vollmer<\/strong>\u00a0and <strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong>. Manuel was the only one who made it to both relay teams back to back. At the NCAA Championships last month, Manuel threw down a monstrous 45.56, becoming the first woman to go a sub-46 second 100-yard free, destroying the NCAA, American, and U.S. Open records all at once. Add in Manuel&#8217;s gold-medal winning swim in Rio and she looks to be in a fine position to once again make the relay for Team USA.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile for Ledecky, she has already proved that\u00a0she can handle the 100m freestyle just as well as the longer distances, which is what she excels at. Ledecky swam a 52.79 in Rio last summer, anchoring the Americans\u2019 relay team to a silver medal.<\/p>\n<p>For the United States, the World Championships trials will be held in Indianapolis from June 27 through July 1.With different people making up the relay team each year, the 4x100m freestyle relay is a wide open shot for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Comparing both the Australian and the USA relay teams, both have been posting consistent times over the past two years.\u00a0 With Cate Campbell missing out on this year\u2019s world championships, the Americans might stand a chance to dethrone the Australians and re-claim the relay title.\u00a0The Americans last won the relay title in 2013<\/p>\n<p>Other than the two teams mentioned above, Canada and the Netherlands stand a chance to defy all odds and win the relay title.. Both Canada and the Netherlands will each have an Olympic champion swimming for their team; with Rio 2016 100m freestyle champion <strong>Penny Oleksiak<\/strong> swimming for Canada and London 2012 50m and 100m freestyle champion <strong>Ranomi Kromowidjojo<\/strong> swimming for the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All commentaries are the opinion of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Swimming World Magazine nor its staff.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jinq En Phee, Swimming World College Intern.
