Marathon swimmer Chelsea Gubecka<\/strong> will carry the same toughness and resilience into her second Olympic campaign as legendary Australian cyclist Anna Meares, <\/strong>Dolphins head coach Rohan Taylor<\/strong> declared in Brisbane today.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Queenslander was today \u00a0unveiled as the first member of Australia’s 2024 Olympic team and was officially welcomed into the team by first time Chief de Mission and Olympic champion Meares \u2013 an athlete she admired the most for what will be a monumental achievement for the girl from Yeronga Park Swim Club.<\/p>\n

A celebration of a decade of swimming on Australia\u2019s open water team \u2013 the longest serving world championship team member \u2013 having secured her nomination to the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) with her silver medal swim in the 10km World Championship in Japan in July.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel real at all \u2026 to be the first athlete selected is such an honour,\u201d said Gubecka who made her Olympic debut in Rio in 2016, missing Tokyo but never losing the fire in her belly lit almost eight years ago.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cTo go to one Olympics is special but to be a dual Olympian is unbelievable – I was only 17 when I made my first Games so I probably didn\u2019t soak in the experience as much as I should have, but this is really special.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have such an amazing support system, my partner, our two dogs, my team at Yeronga Park, my coach Kate Sparkes. To get the call that I was officially selected as the first athlete for Paris just gave me goose bumps.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Taylor was quick to acknowledge Gubecka and compare her to Meares saying: \u201cChelsea has shown incredible resilience (after missing 2020) and it\u2019s a credit to Chelsea, her coach Kate Sparkes and the high-performance team, that she is being recognised today.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere is an athlete that first made an Australian Open Water team 10 years ago and at the Worlds in Japan earlier this year, she was our most experienced Dolphin on that campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cChelsea would be too humble to say this but the toughness and resilience that Anna Meares was admired for (after returning from a broken neck), Chelsea also has in spades.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Tokyo, (it was our own) Kareena Lee who won an historic bronze medal \u2013 our first Olympic medal in open water swimming \u2013 and I know it\u2019s not going to be our last.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gubecka follows Olympic marathon swimming pioneers Melissa Gorman and Ky Hurst \u2013 who represented Australia both in Beijing in 2008 when open water made it\u2019s Olympic debut and again in London in 2012.<\/p>\n

Meares congratulated Gubecka on her selection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a fantastic milestone for Chelsea and the entire Australian Olympic Team,\u201d Meares said.<\/p>\n

\u201cChelsea is the first athlete selected of an expected team size of 460 to 480 that will represent Australia with pride at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning 10km World Championship silver and mixed relay bronze in July this year, Chelsea has shown she is a world class swimmer. Congratulations Chelsea on being selected for your second Australian Olympic Team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is also a day to celebrate for all those who have contributed to Chelsea\u2019s Olympic journey – Swimming Australia, the Australian Institute of Sport and Queensland Academy of Sport, her coach Kate Sparkes, Yeronga Park Swimming Club, family, friends and supporters who have helped Chelsea become the athlete and person she is today.\u201d<\/p>\n
