Testing Times For Olympic Golden Boys Mack Horton And Kyle Chalmers Caught Up In COVID Lockdown<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swimming Australia has confirmed that members of its Olympic team, including Rio golden boys Kyle Chalmers<\/strong> and Mack Horton,<\/strong> \u201cdid not attend any high risk locations\u201d during their visit to Magnetic Island, off Townsville last Sunday.<\/p>\n

Every Australian State, barring South Australia, is waking up today in Covid lockdown \u2013 with Queensland \u2013 where the swimmers are all located \u2013 locked down until 6pm Friday.<\/p>\n

In a statement released overnight, Swimming Australia said: \u201c We (had) moved the large majority of our South East Queensland based athletes and coaches to Cairns on Monday night prior to the Queensland government lockdown announcement.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOur athletes that have been based in Townsville have made their way to Cairns and will remain separate from the main group through the lockdown period announced for the region today.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMembers of the Townsville group attended Magnetic Island on Sunday\u00a0June 27, but are considered low risk contacts.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThey did not attend any high risk locations during their visit. We will follow government health advice. They will all be tested immediately as per the advice for low risk contacts.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAll athletes will have access to training facilities during this time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The 35-strong Australian team were due to re-unite into Cairns by this Saturday, July 3 but have all now come into their Far North Queensland training bubble as they prepare for their Games departure \u2013 and their training base at Toobruk Pool.<\/p>\n

Horton and his fellow Victorians, including Nunawading pair Brendan Smith<\/strong> and Matt Temple,<\/strong> were all forced to re-locate to the Gold Coast after Victoria\u2019s snap lockdown two weeks prior to the Olympic Trials in Adelaide.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the 37th<\/sup> and final member of the swim team, 22-year-old marathon swimmer Kai Edwards<\/a>,<\/strong> has been officially \u201cbaptised\u201d by the Australian Olympic Team as a full fledged member of the 2020 Team.<\/p>\n

The Australian Olympic Committee selected Edwards to make his Olympic debut in the 10km Open Water Swim after he locked in qualification with a fifth place finish at the final Olympic Qualifying event in Setubal, Portugal last week.<\/p>\n

Edwards joins fellow 10km teammate Kareena Lee,<\/strong> who was selected in October 2019 for the women\u2019s 10km event, in the open water discipline, with today\u2019s selection completing the full 37-strong Australian Olympic swimming team.<\/p>\n

Full athlete bios available here<\/a><\/p>\n

Edwards and Lee will compete in Tokyo\u2019s Odaiba Marine Park with the backdrop of Tokyo\u2019s cityscape throughout their 10km marathon swim.<\/p>\n

Ian Chesterman,<\/strong> Chef de Mission for the Australian Olympic Team in Tokyo, welcomed today\u2019s selection.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations (to) Kai on making your first Australian Olympic Team,\u201d Mr Chesterman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cKai has shown he can perform when the pressure\u2019s on, securing his spot for Tokyo with a top-5 finish at the last chance Olympic qualifier in Portugal. It was a huge effort after such a challenging time since the postponement of the Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Kai remains training in Europe before heading to Tokyo, I\u2019m sure his family, friends, coaches and supporters are all celebrating back here in Australia today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gold Coast local said it feels amazing to make his first Olympic Team.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou dedicate your life to a dream you have as a young kid and to make it a reality feels incredible,\u201d Edwards said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou, your family, your partner, friends and coaches sacrifice so much to get to this point so I know I\u2019m making the most of this opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe qualifying race in Portugal was definitely testing, being quite a physically brutal race. Like any race regardless of the outcome I will always take away positives and learn to develop my racing. Finishing 5th at this event and racing well here definitely gives me confidence going into the Olympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a privilege to join the pool team and Kareena Lee as a part of the open water team, being the third ever Australian male (joining Ky Hurst and Jarrod Poort) to swim at the Olympics for the 10km marathon swim is really special to me.<\/p>\n
