I know we\u2019ve got great depth\u2026six dudes going 48\u2026and to go under 48 is amazing and to have the composure to be able to do that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt takes a lot of adrenalin and a lot of energy tonight in front of a big crowd. You know the 100m freestyle is on when the crowd\u2019s that big.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFlynn (Southam) performed so well and I\u2019m really proud of him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI feel like I\u2019m just getting started on my journey again to be honest with you; I\u2019m loving it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m so happy doing it\u2026it\u2019s awesome. It\u2019s so much fun and I can\u2019t wait to do it again on the World\u2019s stage in a couple of weeks\u2019 time\u2026it will be awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Southam is growing in stature and confidence with every swim.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c[Tonight\u2019s race] was a bit of contrast before the 200m, I was really worried about a time and trying to win and I ended up having a really bad swim. So for me just going out there and being a kid and being myself, not trying to swim like Kyle, but get next to him, race him and use it as much as possible,&#8221; said Southam.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had a lot of life changing stuff that\u2019s happened out of the pool in the past 12 months\u2026 being overseas and some loved ones passing away, for me it is just bigger than sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI put the work in every day and I leave no stone unturned so for me to come out here and do that [time] it\u2019s a relief, but at the same time it&#8217;s exciting because I\u2019m just hitting the tip of the iceberg at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to the relays&#8230;.If we can do something like the guys did in 2000 in the 4&#215;100 (when Australia won gold) that would be the best thing ever. I think that\u2019s a common goal [among Australian men] and the camaraderie in the marshalling room was just great.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_529720\" style=\"width: 907px\" class=\"wp-caption
