The Week That Was sponsored by Suitmate.<\/em><\/p>\n

Australia’s\u00a0Kaylee McKeown\u00a0<\/strong>continued her impressive 2020 performances with a near world record in the LCM 100 backstroke at the Queensland State Championships, joining\u00a0American\u00a0Regan Smith\u00a0<\/strong>as the only members of the sub-58 100 back club. McKeown’s swim comes just a couple weeks after her world record in the 200 back in short course meters where she took down\u00a0Katinka Hosszu’s\u00a0<\/strong>mark from 2014.<\/p>\n

Fellow Australian\u00a0Shayna Jack\u00a0<\/strong>is also getting her doping ban reduction appealed by Sport Integrity Australia after she got her doping ban reduced to two years, which would leave her eligible to compete again in July 2021.<\/p>\n

Read below the five biggest stories in The Week That Was sponsored by\u00a0Suitmate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Week That Was #1: Kaylee McKeown Moves to #2 All-Time in 100 Back LCM<\/h3>\n

Queensland\u2019s new wonder girl\u00a0Kaylee McKeown<\/strong>\u00a0has clocked the second fastest time in history with a new Commonwealth and Australian record of 57.93 in a stunning swim on the opening night of the Queensland State Championships at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old from the USC Spartans on the Queensland Sunshine Coast becomes only the second swimmer to break the 58 second barrier \u2013 bettered only by American world record holder\u00a0Regan Smith\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a057.57<\/a>, set at last year\u2019s Fina World Championships in Gwangju.<\/p>\n

Kaylee McKeown\u2019s time clipped 0.17 off Canadian\u00a0Kyle Masse\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a02017 Commonwealth mark of 58.10 and 0.18 off her own Australian, Australian All-Comers and Queensland and Queensland All-Comers record of 58.11, set just a month ago in the same pool.<\/p>\n

And it continues her remarkable month of record-breaking swims after her short course 200m backstroke world record, also set at the same pool at the Swimming Australia Virtual SC Meet.<\/p>\n

#2: Dutch Women Throw Down World Record in 4×50 Free Relay SCM<\/h3>\n

Coming off of a fast qualifying meet at Rotterdam, the Dutch relay sprinters kept up the pace with a short-course world record in the 200 freestyle relay at the Wouda Cup.<\/p>\n

Ranomi Kromowidjojo, Maaike de Waard, Kim Busch<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Femke Hemskerk<\/strong>\u00a0teamed up for a swim of 1:32.50.<\/p>\n

It destroyed the previous record, of 1:33.91, also set by the Dutch at the 2017 Short Course European Championships (Tamara van Vliet, Valerie van Roon<\/strong>, Kromowidjojo and Heemskerk). The unofficial world record, or at least the fastest time ever from the suit era, was 1:33.25, set by the Dutch at the 2009 Short Course European Championships (Inge Dekker, Hinkelien Schreuder, Saskia de Jonge<\/strong>\u00a0and Kromowidjojo). So this swim was quite faster than that performance as well, more than three quarters of a second.<\/p>\n

This swim is now the Dutch national record, European record and world record.<\/p>\n

The Week That Was #3: Michael Phelps Says World Records May Be Unlikely at Tokyo Olympics<\/h3>\n

Michael Phelps<\/strong>, the owner of the most Olympic gold medals in history, stated in a\u00a0recent interview with Reuters<\/a>\u00a0that the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic means it is unlikely any swimming world records will fall during next summer\u2019s postponed Olympic Games in Tokyo, believing that the swimmers were put at a disadvantage this year with the training limitations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are kids out there who are controlling everything that they can control. They are swimming like they should be, they are lifting,\u201d said Phelps, who set 39 world records during his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut honestly, I think pushing it back by a year throws a bigger loop into it than everybody thinks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best of the best will fight back and you\u2019re going to see some fast swims. But world records? I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all these pools being shut down, somebody would have to be damn near perfect for the rest of the preparation to have that chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

#4: Swimming Canada Announces Shift to Invitational For Olympic Trials<\/h3>\n

Swimming Canada announced that the Canadian Olympic Trials for next April will be changed to invitational trials as a way to maintain physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The move will offer a maximum of 20 places in each Olympic event at Trials, to be contested as timed finals\u00a0from April 7-11 at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre<\/a>. Paralympics Trials will include up to 15 swimmers per event in multi-class timed finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday we announce some key decisions for 2021, based on the best information we have available. In this global COVID-19 pandemic, we have to make health and safety the priority, along with allowing for the best possible performance from our athletes who will be invited to the Trials,\u201d High Performance Director\u00a0John Atkinson\u00a0<\/strong>said in a release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Due to the limitations in the number of participants, Swimming Canada will re-assess the selection criteria for other international events, including the World Junior Swimming Championships. Teams are usually selected from age-qualified finishers at Trials.<\/p>\n

The release includes Swimming Canada\u2019s intention not to field a team for the World University Games, due to be held in Chengdu, China,\u00a0in August<\/a>. Open water trials,\u00a0scheduled for<\/a>\u00a0April 17-18 on Grand Cayman Island, are cancelled, with the final representative for the FINA Olympic Marathon Swim qualifier in Fukuoka, Japan, in late May selected via the finish in the 1,500 meters in the pool.

The Week That Was #5: Sport Integrity Australia Appealing Shayna Jack’s Doping Ban Reduction<\/h3>\n

By Andy Ross<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Sport Integrity Australia (SIA) is appealing the doping ban reduction on\u00a0Shayna Jack<\/strong>\u00a0at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), according to a\u00a0story from Reuters<\/a>.\u00a0Jack had initially been banned four years by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) for testing positive for the banned anabolic agent Ligandrol\u00a0right before the 2019 World Championships<\/a>, with a scheduled return to competition in the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n

Last month, she\u00a0had her sentence reduced to two years<\/a>\u00a0by the CAS, which still left her ineligible to qualify for the Australian team for the 2021 Olympic Games as the suspension would have ended after the\u00a0Olympic Trials<\/a>\u00a0in June 2021.<\/p>\n

CAS found that Jack \u201cdid not intentionally ingest Ligandrol and considered that she had discharged her onus of proving that the anti-doping rule violation was not intentional.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, SIA, the government agency which replaced ASADA in July this year, is appealing the shorter suspension.<\/p>\n

SIA said on Monday that after \u201ccareful consideration of the legal issues\u201d it had decided to lodge a case with CAS Appeals Division.<\/p>\n

\u201cSport Integrity Australia will always act to ensure a level playing field for athletes,\u201d chief executive\u00a0David Sharpe<\/strong>\u00a0said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to protect athletes and sporting competitions, we must have clarity and consistency in the application of the World Anti-Doping Code.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
