Sam Short Rips 3:42.46 For 10th-Fastest 400 Freestyle In History At Aussie Champs; Mollie O’Callaghan Dazzles In Tight Duel With Shayna Jack<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s Commonwealth Games 1500m freestyle gold medallist Sam Short<\/strong> has gate-crashed his way into the world all-time top 10 times over 400m freestyle on the Gold Coast tonight, clocking the fastest time in the world this year with a slashing 3:42.46 \u2013 two seconds faster than he has ever swum.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old from the Rackley Swim Team in Brisbane shook the life out of the ranking with his all-the-way victory over reigning world champion Elijah Winnington<\/strong> (St Peters Western, QLD) 3:46.39 with his Rackley team mate and Olympic relay bronze medallist Tommy Neill<\/strong> third in 3:49.28.<\/p>\n

Short, so unlucky to miss the 2020 Olympic team to Tokyo, is making every post a winner as he targets Paris in 2024 \u2013 surprising even himself with the time on the opening night of the 2023 Australian Championships<\/a> at the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried to take it out with Elijah and Tommy and my coach Damien Jones<\/strong> has been putting me through the motions at training with all his aerobic sessions so I said to myself I\u2019m just going to go for it at the 100m turn, \u201c said Short.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I really pushed that second and third 100m and put everything I had left into the last two laps and it ended up being a two second pb \u2013 I was not expecting that.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other highlights, triple Olympic backstroke gold medallist Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) opened up her campaign in fine style, setting a new Australian All-Comers record in the 200m individual medley with a time of 2:08.16 ahead of fellow Commonwealth Games representative Jenna Forrester (St Peters Western, QLD) in a pb of 2:09.32.<\/p>\n
Another Birmingham representative, Ella Ramsay <\/strong>(Chandler, QLD) finished with the bronze in 2;12.39.<\/p>\n
Only Australian record holder and 2008 Olympic champion Stephanie Rice<\/strong> (2:07.03) and Alicia Coutts<\/strong> (2:08.15) have ben faster.<\/p>\n
And for McKeown the time maintained her place on the 2023 world rankings, second behind Canadian wunderkind and world junior record holder Summer McIntosh <\/strong>(2:06.89) with Forrester moving up the rankings to be fourth all-time Australian and fifth in the world this year.<\/p>\n
The men\u2019s 100m breaststroke saw Olympic champion over 200m breaststroke, Zac Stubblety-Cook<\/strong> power home over the final 25 metres to defend his title on 1:00.07 ahead of rising star Joshua Yong <\/strong>(UWA West Coast, WA) 1:00.57 with former world record holder over 200m breaststroke, Matthew Wilson <\/strong>(SOPAC, NSW) third in 1:00.68.<\/p>\n
It was Wilson who was out quickest over the first 50m in 28.22 but it was Stubblety-Cook, who has been training at altitude at Flagstaff in Arizona, who has the best back end in the business, unstoppable over the final stages.<\/p>\n
The men\u2019s 50m butterfly saw Bond 20-year-old Ben Armbruster<\/strong> turn disappointment into triumph \u2013 disqualified in the heats and re-instated into the final, claiming the win in a new Australian All-Comers record of 23.05.<\/p>\n
While in the time was 0.06 quicker than legendary Australian butterflyer, Olympic bronze medallist and former world champion, Geoff Huegill\u2019s<\/strong> 2009 time of 23.11 \u2013 set in the supersuit era.<\/p>\n
There was a fist pump from Armbruster, coached by Olympic gold medal coach Chris Mooney<\/strong>, after touching the wall and after a dramatic day \u2013 finishing ahead of two of Australian swimming\u2019s biggest names in Kyle Chalmers <\/strong>(Marion, SA) 23.35 and Cameron McEvoy<\/strong> (Somerville House, QLD) 23.65.<\/p>\n
The time also ranks Armbruster second fastest Australian of all time behind Commonwealth and Australian record holder, 2012 Olympian Matt Targett\u2019s<\/strong> 2009 super suit time of 22.73.<\/p>\n
The Multi Class events, which are the Trials for this year\u2019s World Championships in Manchester, saw some great swimming in the morning preliminaries as well as the finals \u2013 with times swum in in the morning also counting for selection.<\/p>\n

Ireland, an S14, won the 200m freestyle in 1:56.40 \u2013 but clocked a faster time 1:55.19 in the heats.<\/p>\n
