Campbell Sisters, Chalmers, Horton and McKeon Headline Olympic Who\u2019s Who for NSW State Champs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Olympic gold medallists Kyle Chalmers, Mack Horton<\/strong>, the Campbell <\/strong>sisters Cate<\/strong> and Bronte<\/strong> and the unstoppable Emma McKeon<\/strong><\/a> will headline a host of Australian swimming\u2019s biggest names who will return to Sydney for this weekend\u2019s NSW State Open Swimming Championships.<\/p>\n

In a classic case of deja-vu, Olympic hopefuls will return to the same pool deck they left 12 months ago when the doors were locked behind them on the final night of the 2020 Championships \u2013 with COVID 19 changing life as we knew it, forever.<\/p>\n

A world thrust into a pandemic spiral that would eventually see the Tokyo Olympics postponed until 2021.<\/p>\n

A life in and out of lockdowns, lines of testing, living in hope of a vaccine to cure the masses, saving lives and breathing life back into the Games.<\/p>\n

For Australia\u2019s elite swimmers these NSW Open State Championships will be collectively the biggest meet of the last 12 months \u2013 Chalmers will come from Adelaide, Horton from Melbourne, the Campbell girls will return to Sydney to re-unite with their Knox-Pymble Club mates and Wollongong’s “prodigal daughter” McKeon will be back where it all began.<\/p>\n

In the countdown to Christmas and along with coach Simon Cusack<\/strong> and Paralympic golden girl Ellie Cole,<\/strong> Australia\u2019s premier swimming sister act headed home to Brisbane and a safe haven against the pandemic.<\/p>\n

They will be amongst 17 Olympians and a dozen Paralympians who have raced in Rio, London and Beijing and who will turn up the heat in a bid to make it to Tokyo against a host of new generation youngsters with nothing to lose.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019ll do it in Australia\u2019s spiritual home of swimming \u2013 the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre, the celebrated hosts of Sydney 2000.<\/p>\n

Welcome Back To The Pool Of Dreams<\/a><\/p>\n

The NSW States is traditionally the meet where the big guns come out to play and 12 months ago in Sydney, it was Chalmers who produced some of his best performances since Rio as he plotted and powered his way towards a Tokyo assault under his Adelaide-based maestro Peter Bishop.<\/strong><\/p>\n

THIS TIME LAST YEAR: Kyle Chalmers gets ready to race at last year’s NSW State Championships. Photo Courtesy: Anthony Burns APP<\/p><\/div>\n

Chalmers returned home to South Australia and eventually disappeared with his \u201cswag (sleeping bag)\u201d and his footy and drove down the South Australian coast to spend time with his cousin in a sleepy fishing village.<\/p>\n

With pools closed, he would arrange for the construction of a flume pool to be built on the side of his house so he could stay in touch with the water.<\/p>\n

Shoulder issues would see him undergo surgery on the eve of the Queensland Championships in December \u2013 ending a year that he and his Dolphins team mates would rather forget.<\/p>\n

But swimming competition is back in earnest and Chalmers will be front and centre for the morning finals format to mirror the Tokyo program and the action kick-starts with the opening heats session tomorrow (Thursday evening at 6pm AEDST).<\/p>\n

The Olympic 100m champion \u2013 as he did last year – has entered the 100 and 200m freestyle and the 100m butterfly after doctors advised him not to race the Relay Blitz meet at the end of the National Event Camp in February on the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

But he had snuck in an eye-catching 48.55 relay split for his cub side Marion at the South Australian State Championships which gave him a confidence boost.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s freestyle events \u2013 starting with the 100m will see Chalmers up against fellow Rio relay bronze medallist and 2015 World Championship silver medallist Cam McEvoy<\/strong> and 2019 World Championship relay gold medallists Clyde Lewis <\/strong>and Alex Graham<\/strong> \u2013now club mates at Bond University after Lewis left St Peters Western to join Richard Scarce<\/strong> at Bond University.<\/p>\n

And also lining up in every freestyle event from 50 to 800m will be former Bond University Commonwealth Games gold medallist Elijah Winnington<\/strong> who late last year actually left long-time coach Richard Scarce<\/strong> to join Dean Boxall<\/strong> at St Peters.<\/p>\n

Throw in Commonwealth Games relay gold medallist Jack Cartwright<\/strong> (St Peters Western) into the 100m fray with all apart from McEvoy into the 200m and it will be \u201cMini Trials\u201d material.<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s freestyle sprint events will see the Campbell girls up against fellow Olympic relay gold medallist McKeon, former world championship backstroke medallist, Rio Olympian and Gwangju sensation Madi Wilson<\/strong>, who has found a new lease of life under Bishop.<\/p>\n

SPW young gun Meg Harris<\/strong> will add her youthful exuberance to what will be an exciting final to be in and watch.<\/p>\n

They will be joined in the 100 and 200m by TSS \u201ciron woman of the pool\u201d Kiah Melverton<\/strong> \u2013 who will contest every freestyle event from 100 to 1500m<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s middle distance and distance events will only be missing SPW\u2019s 400m freestyle world champion Ariarne Titmus,<\/strong> who remains on the recovery and rehab trail after her shoulder issues.<\/p>\n

Melverton will be joined over 400 and 800m by training partners Maddy Gough<\/strong> and last week\u2019s Australian 5km champion Moesha Johnson<\/strong> and newly arrived to the Gold Coast, triple Fina World Junior Champion Lani Pallister,<\/strong> now at Griffith University \u2013 under the watchful eyes of not only her mother and coach Janelle Pallister<\/strong> but head coach Michael Bohl.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Add in the improving talents of Chris Mooney<\/strong>-coached USC Spartans pair Phoebe Hines<\/strong> (200-1500) and Dahlas Rogers <\/strong>and (100-800) and there will be some interesting battles all round.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the backstroking women, triple Olympian Emily Seebohm<\/strong> up against the girls most-likely \u2013 world short course record holders Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> and Minna Atherton<\/strong> \u2013 where anything is possible.<\/p>\n

BACKS TO THE WALL: Australia’s backstroking divas Minna Atherton, Kaylee McKeown and Emily Seebohm pictured in Sydney last year. Photo Courtesy: Anthony Burns APP<\/p><\/div>\n

McKeown has been the talk of the town all summer with her stunning record-breaking charge through the short course and long course books \u2013 with her world record over 200m backstroke making her the fourth Australian behind Cate Campbell (100m freestyle), Atherton (100m backstroke) and Titmus (400m freestyle) as current SC world record holders.<\/p>\n

The backstroke girls and the male and female sprinters over 100m freestyle will all feature on the opening day\u2019s preliminaries with Olympic champion Horton up first in his pet 400m freestyle against an exuberant Winnington, now under Boxall at St Peters Western \u2013 who has always swum well in Sydney.<\/p>\n

And it could well be a timely return to the \u201cPool of Dreams\u201d in the countdown to what will be one of the most competitive Olympic Trials on record in Adelaide from June 12-17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
