Mollie O’Callaghan, Shayna Jack Blast Big Times at Australian Championships; Cody Simpson Pops in 100 Fly<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an emotionally charged opening night of exceptionally fast swimming, established and shooting stars, returning stars and pop stars all booked their places on the Australian Swim Teams for Budapest and Birmingham in Adelaide tonight.<\/p>\n

It was the start of the five-day Australian Swimming Championships to behold at the city\u2019s SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre \u2013 with stunning performances all round as the \u201cBattle From The Blocks\u201d raged on for the World Championship and Commonwealth Games teams.<\/p>\n

Established stars Mack Horton<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) and Mitch Larkin<\/strong> (Chandler, QLD) were joined by shooting stars Mollie O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong> (St Peters Western, QLD) and Lani Pallister<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) and emerging stars like backstroking\u2019s Josh Edwards-Smith<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) and freestyle sprint find Thomas Nowakowski<\/strong> (Somerset, QLD).<\/p>\n

With returning star<\/a> Shayna Jack<\/strong> (St Peters Western, QLD) \u2013producing an emotional Australian Championship comeback after fighting a two-year doping ban.<\/p>\n

It was in a world class women\u2019s 100m freestyle final with O\u2019Callaghan improving her heat swim in another personal best time of 52.83 to 52.49 (25.92\/26.57) \u2013 to confirm her ranking as world number one with Jack a close up second also in a personal best of 52.60 (#2 in the world) from Meg Harris (Marion, SA) right in the mix in 53.09 for third (#3 in the world).<\/p>\n

Live Results<\/a><\/p>\n

And to think this was an Australian championship final without Tokyo Olympic champion Emma McKeon,<\/strong> Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist Cate Campbell<\/strong> and her former World Champion sister Bronte Campbell<\/strong>\u2013 who have steered the Dolphins to so many golden glories in the 4x100m freestyle relay.<\/p>\n

But no need to worry girls, the next generation are more than keeping your lanes warm – in fact they are red hot.<\/p>\n

Jack\u2019s is remarkable story of mental toughness that typifies all the strength and tenacity it takes to overcome two years of hell – finishing second to an 18-year-old O\u2019Callaghan who has arrived in a a world of her own to claim an individual 100m freestyle spot in style.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s something that I really, really wanted and to do that with Mollie who did an amazing time and for me to come away with a personal best like that \u2013 I\u2019m just so proud of myself,\u201d said Jack who said she just wanted to get behind the blocks, hold her head high and swim the race of her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had so many emotions going through my body, I was just glad to swim that time and get myself back on the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before an encore from pop star Cody Simpson<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) who again took centre stage, living up to all the hype that a chart topping singer brings to the pool \u2013 and doing his thing.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old was right on song, finishing a gallant third in the 100m butterfly, something he knew he was capable of – but maybe not just yet \u2013 to qualify for his first National teams.<\/p>\n

Simpson (Griffith University, QLD) finished behind Marion, SA Olympians Matt Temple<\/strong> 51.50 and Kyle Chalmers<\/strong> in 51.96, which equalled the Selection Qualifying Time which he had bettered in his heat \u2013 swimming 51.79But Head Coach Rohan Taylor<\/strong> confirmed with Giaan Rooney<\/strong> on Amazon Prime Video that with Chalmers unavailable for World\u2019s that Simpson would be named and nominated on the teams for both Budapest and Birmingham.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a dream come true, I\u2019ve made so much progress from last year\u2026.and I have trained so hard all year,\u201d said Simpson, who clocked a qualifying time in the heats and equalled the time in the final.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to see results like this pay off; I was hoping to swim a little bit faster but it\u2019s a real dream.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no idea it would happen at this meet; I only started training a little under two years ago\u2026..with Paris 2024 as my dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s 800m freestyle saw another world class swim from former three-time World Junior champion Pallister who swam away with the second fastest time by an Australian (Olympic silver medallist Ariarne Titmus<\/strong>) in 8:17.77.<\/p>\n

It comes 12 months after illness forced her out of the Olympic Trials \u2013 crushing her Tokyo dream.<\/p>\n

F\u201cIt\u2019s been a very long journey to get back to these Trials \u2013 happy to be back on deck, racing and being healthy again and being my normal self,\u201d said Pallister who payed tribute to her coach Michael Bohl<\/strong> and her mother and coach, 1988 Olympian and 1987 and 1988 Australian champion Janelle Elford.<\/p>\n

Horton and Larkin dug deeper than ever before to show they ain\u2019t done with yet – Horton booking an individual spot on the Australian teams for the World Championships and Commonwealth Games in the 400 freestyle and Larkin in the 200m backstroke – his sixth World\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

Both boys were happy to finish second – Horton (3:44.06) grabbing silver on the touch\u00a0\u00a0behind Tokyo team mate Elijah Winnington <\/strong>(St Peters Western, QLD) 3:43.10 with a brave Sam Short <\/strong>(Rackleys Swim Team) 3:44.34pb a fingernail away in third \u2013 his time rocketing him into the Australian all-time top ten.<\/p>\n

Horton saying: \u201cThe move to the Gold Coast (and Michael Bohl) has been so refreshing it\u2019s something different (that I needed)….but very happy to knock that spot off and enjoy the rest of the week.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Winnington too, disappointed with his Tokyo performances, saying: \u201cI\u2019ve been through a lot of mental preparation and I really struggled mentally coming off Tokyo,<\/p>\n

\u201cI really had to work with psychologists to build up my mind and not so much put together a swim like that but more so get up and stand behind the blocks and be confident in myself\u2026.I\u2019m just happy I got another title.\u201d<\/p>\n

Larkin also admitted he doubted a week ago he would make the team and it didn\u2019t look positive after his average heat swim either, but he has now given himself a chance at a third Commonwealth Games gold in the 200m backstroke \u2013 10 years after first winning the event at the 2012 Olympic Trials.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old, now at Chandler under Vince Raleigh, hung on grimly for second to young gun Edwards-Smith, formerly from WA, who linked up with Gold Coast-based super-squad under Michael Bohl in the 200m backstroke.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t had the best prep but Vince has been able to tweak and tailer it for me and I\u2019m just stoked to get away with that and a week or so ago I was worried about making the team but we got there and I\u2019m pretty stoked,\u201d said Larkin.<\/p>\n
