WA<\/p>\n<p>Yeronga Park (QLD) Olympian <strong>Chelsea Gubecka <\/strong>has powered her way to today\u2019s women\u2019s 10km Australian Open Water Championship win in Busselton, WA \u2013 turning the clock back to a race she first won 10 years ago as a 15-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>Now 25, Gubecka has spent a decade on the Australian Open Water teams, including the 2016 Rio Olympics, but is relishing a new lease of life as she targets a second Olympic campaign for Paris next year, despite some slight doubts even before today\u2019s race.<\/p>\n<p>Gubecka admitted she had not been feeling \u201cthat great\u201d in the water \u2013 thinking she was \u201cin a hole\u201d and was unsure how the race would unfold.<\/p>\n<p>Then the hard work under coach <strong>Rob Van Der Zant<\/strong> and <strong>Katie Sparkes<\/strong> and a decade of experience in the sport kicked in and those doubts were quickly washed away off the Busselton Jetty as she set about doing what she does best. <strong>,\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough I didn\u2019t feel all that great in the water I swam into the race a little bit and I just had to trust the process and not to go out and do anything

Diaries<strong>.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cMy mentality was \u2018I don\u2019t know how this is going to go..maybe just try and go top four and make it through to the next round in March\u2019&#8230; but as the race went on it felt better and better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on a life time of experience and in particular her 2022 victory over the last two Olympic gold medallists, Brazil\u2019s\u00a0<strong>Ana Marcela Cunha<\/strong>\u00a0(Tokyo, 2020) and The Netherlands\u00a0<strong>Sharon Van Rouwendaal\u00a0<\/strong>(Rio, 2016) \u2013 who also won silver behind Cunha in Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>Gubecka and her 2021 World Championship team mate 26-year-old <strong>Moesha Johnson<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) and 24-year-old Tokyo Olympic 1500m finalist <strong>Maddy Gough<\/strong> (Carlile, NSW) took it in turns as they navigated the 10km course under and around the bustling Bussleton Jetty.<\/p>\n<p>Places on the Australian team for the LEN Cup in Israel in March and the second phase of selection for the World Champion ships and a Paris Olympic place very much front of mind.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson, eighth in last year\u2019s World Championships, had led through the halfway mark and through the last lap after Gubecka had led early \u2013 with the experienced Gubecka knowing that the last 1000m is where the race would be one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been working on that last kilometre \u2013 to make it really strong,\u201d said Gubecka.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just wanted to see how everyone else would go \u2013 I didn\u2019t want to lead a whole lot, obviously I did find myself up the front for a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I just pulled over and let someone else have a crack \u2013 and then Maddy, Moesha and myself rotated the lead a little bit which was \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 quite nice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd in the end the work we had been doing over that last 100m really paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gubecka looked strong as she powered her way to the finish ahead of Johnson and Gough.<\/p>\n<p>But life had not been a bed of roses for Gubecka who admitted to losing her way between 2019 and 2020 and she knew she had to find her love of swimming again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI lost myself back in 2019 and had to find myself again and what I really enjoyed about swimming and racing and obviously training is a massive part of this sport,\u201d said Gubecka, who sat down and plotted her future with coach Kate Sparkes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust being happy getting in the water every day and doing a real good job at that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to adapt and develop a bit more speed and that\u2019s what we\u2019re working on it\u2019s something we\u2019ve got to keep working on for the next 18 months \u2013 with pool swimmers having a go at the open water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the sport is going through that shift so it\u2019s really good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really lucky I\u2019ve been doing this for a really long time now and this will be my 11<sup>th<\/sup> year on the Australian team and I\u2019ve been very lucky that I\u2019ve been able to travel every year and get that experience and I\u2019m hoping that now is the right time to show that off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s 18 months out from Paris so we just have to be the very best we can be, fingers crossed that we get there, leading into the big one once more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m lucky to have some of the best 1500m swimmers in the world pushing me along.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really exciting that there has been a shift in the women, like there has been in the men, with the pool swimmers coming in \u2013 it really changes the dynamic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And on her win in Israel last year, where she will return to in March.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(Winning that Fina World Series final) was something I wanted to achieve for a long time and I really didn\u2019t know if it was possible,\u201d said Gubecka, who is excited to be returning to Eilat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything just went right \u2013 the feeding was right, skills were right, everything felt relaxed, my mentality was good and I felt really good about myself &#8211; Everything came into place and even today, I was able to draw on that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I said we\u2019ve been working hard on that strong finish and hopefully we can continue to build on that internationally but I know there is a lot of work to do between now and then.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea Gubecka Turns The
