With a break in international meets and the college season still ramping up, the biggest story of the week was a former Olympic gold medalist giving birth to her first child. Check out that story and the biggest news from the week that was!<\/span><\/p>\n

Olympic gold medalist <\/span>Cate Campbell <\/b>was <\/span>honored with two awards this week at the Women\u2019s Health Women in Sport Awards<\/span><\/a> in Sydney this week. Campbell received the \u201cSports Woman of the Year\u201d and the \u201cComeback of the Year\u201d awards at this year\u2019s event. Campbell\u2019s rise back to prominence after a disappointing Rio Olympics has been well chronicled this year, with these two awards further cementing the Australian sprinter\u2019s successful return to the international stage after more than a year away from competition. Campbell arguably had one of the strongest summers of any swimmer in the world, winning three golds at the Commonwealth Games (including an incredible anchor on Australia\u2019s world record 4×100 free relay) and five more golds at the Pan Pacific Championships in Japan. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Week That Was #4 – Filippo Magnini Doping Decision Postponed<\/b><\/h3>\n

Italian swimming World Champion <\/span>Filippo Magnini<\/b> is <\/span>going to continue to wait to learn his fate in an ongoing doping case<\/span><\/a>. Magnini, who won the 100 free at the 2005 and 2007 World Championships, is facing a possible eight-year ban, although he is retired. The Italian Olympian appeared in court before Italy\u2019s anti-doping agency for a four hour hearing, after which judges ruled they needed until November 6 to make a decision for him and teammate <\/span>Michele Santucci<\/b>, who is also <\/span>accused of using banned substances<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Week That Was #3 – Ning Zetao Pulls Out Of Chinese Nationals<\/b><\/h3>\n

Just one week after <\/span>announcing his return to competition<\/span><\/a>, World Champion <\/span>Ning Zetao<\/b> was forced to <\/span>pull out of the 2018 Chinese National Championships<\/span><\/a>, putting a hold onto his short-lived comeback. Ning announced he would be withdrawing from the meet on Tuesday, October 16, citing a finger injury as the cause. According to Ning, he broke fingers in his right hand two days before the start of the meet. The 2015 World Champion in the 100 free did compete in the heats of that event, clocking a 49.06 before scratching from the final. Just repeating that time would have earned Ning the win in the final, which was won by <\/span>Hou Yujie<\/b> in 49.30. Ning was scheduled to compete in the 50 fly as well as the 50 and 100 freestyles. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Week That Was #2 – Michigan Freshman Maggie Macneil Breaks 100 Fly Record<\/b><\/h3>\n

This week was another big week in college swimming, with the Division II and Division III preseason polls being released while schools across all three divisions continued their return to the competition pool. Michigan freshman <\/span>Maggie Macneil <\/b>may have had the swim of the week in the 100 butterfly, posting an pressive 51.49 \u2014 unsuited \u2014 to break Michigan\u2019s school record (51.71, <\/span>Vanessa Krause<\/b>, 2017) and pool record (51.72, <\/span>Zhesi Li<\/b>, 2016). That was within half a second of the NCAA A cut and makes her the fastest woman in the country so far this season. Alabama men also upset Texas A&M in their opening SEC meet, while the Aggie women posted a strong win to open their SEC schedule. You can catch up on all of the college meets from the week <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Week That Was #1 – Olympic Gold Medalist Natalie Coughlin Gives Birth To Baby Girl<\/b><\/h3>\n

Olympic gold medalist <\/span>Natalie Coughlin <\/b>has given birth to her first child<\/span><\/a>, a baby named <\/span>Zennie Mae Hall<\/b>. Coughlin and husband <\/span>Ethan Hall <\/b>named the newborn after Coughlin\u2019s mother, and the Olympic swimmer shared photos of the newborn on social media this week. The couple had <\/span>announced their pregnancy back in June<\/span><\/a>, along with the launch of their new wine. Coughlin\u2019s long list of swimming accomplishments includes <\/span>being the first woman to swim under 1:00<\/span><\/a> in the long course 100 backstroke, something only she accomplished between 2002 and 2007. She is also the only woman to have successfully defended the 100 backstroke at two consecutive Olympiads, winning in both <\/span>2004<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>2008<\/span><\/a>. Coughlin, who is now 36-years-old, is tied with <\/span>Dara Torres<\/b> and <\/span>Jenny Thompson<\/b> as the most decorated female U.S. Olympic swimmer with 12 medals, and is the only American Olympian to win 6 medals at a single Olympic Games.<\/span><\/p>\n
