There is no stopping Rackley Swim Team\u2019s Sam Short, who raced up the World and Australian rankings with his 7:42.96 personal best to add the 800m freestyle to his wins in the 400m and the 1500m.<\/p>\n

Short’s 400m time 3:42.46, the fastest time in the world this year and tonight\u2019s 800 sitting him second – his time just 1.37secs away from the Australian All-Comers record of 7:41.59 set by swimming legend Ian Thorpe in Hobart in 2001.<\/p>\n

He now has only the two Olympic champions Grant Hackett<\/strong> (7:38.65 – his world championship winning time in Montreal in 2005 ) and Thorpe (7:39.16 – his pb set in Fukuoka in 2001) and Olympic silver medallist Jack<\/strong> McLoughlin<\/strong> (7:42.51) ahead of him \u2013 with tonight\u2019s swim forging him in front of two other Australian Olympic champions Mack Horton<\/strong> and Kieren Perkins<\/strong> and world champion Elijah Winnington,<\/strong> (St Peters Western, QLD) who hung on for second tonight in 7:49.81 with Matthew Galea<\/strong> (SOPAC, NSW) third in 7:58.64.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in other swims tonight:<\/p>\n
Tokyo Olympian Tommy Neill<\/strong> also shone in a switch to all the strokes with the man who anchored Australia to its bravest bronze in Tokyo in the 4x200m freestyle, clocking a personal best and a rankings top 10 time of 1:58.99 to win the 200m individual medley. Later backing up to clock 8:04.11 for fourth behind training partner Short in the 800m<\/p>\n
Triple Olympian from 2012, 2016 and 2020, Cameron McEvoy <\/strong>(Somerville House, QLD) under coach Tim Lane, <\/strong>showed that there is plenty to give towards a possible fourth Games in Paris with his impressive win in the 50m freestyle.<\/p>\n

Mollie O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong> (St Peters Western, QLD) continuing to change things up with another win, this time in the 50m backstroke and in her second personal best of the week, she took out the 50m backstroke in as personal best of 27.42 \u2013 with only McKeown and four-time Olympian and former world record holder Emily Seebohm ahead of her.<\/p>\n

Commonwealth Games multi medal-winning backstroker from the NSW Central Coast, Bradley Woodward <\/strong>(SOPAC, NSW) adding the 100m to his 200m win in 54.66 ahead of Bond-based Russian Mark Nikolaev<\/strong> (54.76) and fastest qualifier Ty Hartwell (Chandler, QLD) 54.83 \u2013 in a blanket finish.<\/p>\n
And in one of the most inspiring wins of the night, former Australian triathlete Alex Leary<\/strong> (St Hilda\u2019s, QLD) has assured herself a place in the Australian Para Swim team for this year\u2019s World Championships \u2013 winning the 100m freestyle in an automatic qualifying timer of 1:01.08.<\/p>\n

Leary survived an horrific accident while riding her bike in training two years, coming out of an induced coma to fight her way back to life and to sport as she plots her pathway towards a place on the Paralympic team to Paris in 2024.<\/p>\n
The Gold Coaster, in the capable coaching hands of experienced Para coach Jon Bell, will join the likes of two-time Paralympic golden boy and one of the faces of the team, Rowan Crothers <\/strong>S10 (Yeronga Park, QLD), who clocked a second automatic qualifying time to win the men\u2019s 100m freestyle in 52.05.<\/p>\n
The bald head of Crothers, who captured the imagination of the Australian public in Tokyo, powered away from another qualifier in Tokyo bronze medallist Tom Gallagher S10 (Somerset, QLD) 52.89 and Jack Ireland S14 (University of Queensland) 52.83.<\/p>\n
The Para Dolphins team for this year\u2019s World Championships will be officially announced tomorrow night, following the final night\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n
