Australia\u2019s 200m breaststrokers Matt Wilson<\/strong> and Zac Stubblety-Cook<\/strong> are searching for gold in Tokyo this year in what is developing into one of the real showdowns of the 2020 Olympic men\u2019s swimming program.<\/p>\n

Many keen judges believe the 200m breaststroke could well come down to host country Japan v Australia, with Russian world champion and world record holder Anton Chupkov<\/strong> (2:06.12) sure to throw a spanner in the works.<\/p>\n

In the 25 times the 200m breaststroke has been contested since the London Games of 1908 \u2013 Japan has won the event six times with the two legends of Japanese swimming, Kosuke Kitajima<\/strong> (2004, 2008) and Yoshiyuki Tsuruta <\/strong>(1928, 1932) the only swimmers to win back-to-back Olympic gold.<\/p>\n

The Aussies have won gold twice to John Davies<\/strong> (1952) \u2013 who was the last of the butterfly-breaststrokers \u2013 and Ian O\u2019Brien<\/strong> (1964) \u2013 both from NSW \u2013 as is Wilson.<\/p>\n

The Australian boys are locked in a dog-eat-dog National Training Camp on the Sunshine Coast this week and this morning the three big breaststroke guns, Rio Olympian and 100m specialist Jake Packard <\/strong>went hammer and tongs with young guns Wilson and Stubblety-Cook.<\/p>\n

Camp head coach and Packard\u2019s personal coach at the University of Sunshine Coast, Chris Mooney <\/strong>has been urging and motivating the boys to get the absolute best out of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cChris has been saying all week that he\u2019s got an Olympic gold medallist in his group,\u201d said Wilson after one of the toughest sessions of the season so far.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he just doesn\u2019t know who it is!<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to believe that and it was a really tough session.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were all hurting by the end of it; there was a lot of lactic acid in the muscles that\u2019s for sure\u2026we all pushed it to the max and that\u2019s what we want to see and that\u2019s what makes Olympic Gold medallists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson finished 2019 having equaled the world record (2:06.67) in the World Championships semi-final only to see his good friend Chupkov break it and win the gold with Stubblety-Cook a close up fourth.<\/p>\n

Stubblety-Cook (2:07.28) has since lifted his ranking, setting a new personal best and Queensland record at the December Queensland Championships.<\/p>\n

There is a big difference between the Matt Wilson of 2016, who missed Rio and Matt Wilson of 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cFour years does make a big difference; In 2016 I was just trying to make the team; in 2020 I want to be on the podium, if not the gold, that would be nice and I know I\u2019ve still got a long way to go until then.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut after the World Championships I got a lot of confidence; I dropped almost two seconds from my 2018 time; there was gold in the (Mixed) Medley Relay also.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I not only got confidence in the 200m but my 100m as well and having the 100m really helps my 200m a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was out quite fast in my 200 at the World Championships\u2026.faster than the rest of the field and I think that\u2019s what I\u2019ll do going into the Olympics and going into Trials as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to rush the first 100m; I will be relaxed and I probably will be going out faster than most of the field; that\u2019s how I swim it and that\u2019s how I\u2019m comfortable swimming it.<\/p>\n

\u201cZac is a back end dominant swimmer, so it should make for a good race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson said he also wanted \u201cin\u201d for the new Olympic Relay, the Mixed Medley which he won in Gwangju along with Mitch<\/strong> Larkin, Emma McKeon<\/strong> and Cate Campbell.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an exciting race; we were behind, we were in front we were behind again before Cate (Campbell) got Simone (Manuel) from the US on the wall and it was so brilliant to watch and to be part of,\u201d said Wilson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be part of it again this year\u2026we\u2019ve still got stiff competition for spots on that relay; both Jake and Zac and I are 59sec 100m breaststrokers as well; I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever had three people under the minute at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo there is a lot of depth and it\u2019s all about learning from each other as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cZac and his aerobic swimming and Jake with his pace stuff I\u2019ll take that back to my home program and use that to the best of my ability\u2026and we\u2019ll all push each other to fast times.\u201d<\/p>\n

And maybe Olympic gold.<\/p>\n

FOOTNOTE: <\/strong>Wilson was also asked about Chupkov, saying: \u201cI have known Anton since 2015 at the World Junior Championships (in Singapore) and we always catch up.<\/p>\n

And on the possibility Russia could be banned?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have to wait for WADA and if he\u2019s clean I have no problem racing Anton,\u201d said Wilson.<\/p>\n

\u201dI have no problem racing any Russian swimmer who is clean; it\u2019s not going to affect me on the day of racing\u2026.it won\u2019t be an issue for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
