Australia\u2019s premier Olympic backstroker Mitch Larkin<\/strong> and Tokyo medley relay gold medallist Chelsea Hodges<\/strong> have both taken vital steps forward post career saving surgeries as they set their sights on next year\u2019s Paris Games.<\/p>\n

Both Larkin and Hodges chalked up key milestones – winning doubles at the 2023 Hancock Prospecting Queensland Short Course Championships at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Larkin, 30, won the 100m backstroke in an encouraging 52.37 and the 200m backstroke in 1:56.16.<\/p>\n

Larkin (Chandler; Vince Raleigh<\/strong>) is chasing a place on a fourth Olympic team after undergoing shoulder surgery post last year\u2019s Birmingham Commonwealth Games, saying he was happy to be back racing as he plans his next steps to the 2024 Trials.<\/p>\n

\u201cYep\u2026.happy with my races this weekend, while the 200m was still pretty rusty due to a lack of backstroke volume in my training at the moment which was showing over the longer distance,\u201d said Larkin.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut my 100 was much better and I tried to execute better skills and hold my technique.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got about eight weeks of training ahead and then I\u2019ll be looking to finalise if I race the World Cups in October.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I\u2019ll be able to get another eight weeks of training in before the Queensland Long Course Championships in December.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just days after arriving home from the Commonwealth Games in August, Larkin, the veteran of three Olympics and three Commonwealth Games had an MRI scan on his troublesome right shoulder \u2013 confirming his worst fears.<\/p>\n

The scan showing that his subscapularis (subscaps) had completely ripped off the bone \u2013 and the only way to fix it would be to have it stitched back down \u2013 in a complicated process.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor surgeons to do that,\u201d said Larkin, \u201cthey had to cut my Long Head of the Biceps Tendon as well to make room for everything to be stitched on.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Australian breaststroke champion, Hodges (Southport; Sean Eels<\/strong>), has returned to competition after she too underwent career-saving hip surgery which has kept her sidelined in 2023 \u2013 like Larkin, home in Queensland, watching the Dolphins triumphant medal haul at the World Championships in Fukuoka.<\/p>\n

Hodges won the 50m breaststroke in 30.73 and the 100m in 1:06.67 in two encouraging swims as she surges towards qualifying for a second Olympic team.<\/p>\n

Coach Eels confirming Hodges long haul re-hab program was complete and she was well and truly on her way back.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a great effort from Chelsea\u2019s support team to get through it and see her return to racing,\u201d said Eels.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe Is just starting a full load of training cycles again including her breaststroke main sets and her 100m at the Queensland Short Course was only the second time she had swum 100m breaststroke continuously so that\u2019s a good starting point.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur focus now will be on using the next few months to prepare for the Japan Open Meet and the Queensland Long Course Championships.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old breaststroker\u2019s Olympic dream came true in Tokyo as part of the gold medal winning Australian 4x100m medley relay with\u00a0Kaylee McKeon<\/strong>,\u00a0Emma McKeon<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Cate Campbell,<\/strong> knowing that she would have to undergo her second hip surgery \u2013 similar to what she required seven years ago \u2013 to again be a contender for Paris in less than 12 months.<\/p>\n

Some of the other highlights from the Queensland Short Course included Ed Somerville (<\/strong>Brisbane Grammar) who won the 18 years 100m freestyle in 47.87 ahead of Olympic relay medallist and Commonwealth Games relay gold medallist Zac Incerti<\/strong> (USC Spartans) who won the open in 48.00.<\/p>\n

Visiting New Zealander Laticia Transcom<\/strong> who won the women\u2019s open 100m freestyle in 53.13 from age group winners Ainslie Trotter<\/strong> (St Peters Western) who won the 15 years in 54.45 and Hannah Casey<\/strong> (Marist College Ashgrove) the 17 years in 54.73.<\/p>\n

While Miami\u2019s Alexander Grant<\/strong> won the 400m (3:47.49), 800m (7:59.78) and 1500m (15:09.15) freestyle treble.<\/p>\n

And dual Olympian David Morgan<\/strong> (Surfers Paradise) won the 50m freestyle (21.92) and 100m butterfly (51.81) in a weekend of duelling with Ben Armbruster<\/strong> who was second to Morgan in the 50m freestyle in 22.06 and also in the 100m butterfly in 52.07.<\/p>\n

Armbruster turning the tables on Morgan in the 50m butterfly \u2013 23.24 to 23.27.<\/p>\n
