Victorian Championships, Night Three: Lani Pallister Going The Distance To Paris; Wins 1500m (15:54.52); 400m (4:03.03) and 200m freestyle (1:56.63)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australian Olympic hopeful Lani Pallister<\/strong> is ready to go the distance in the countdown to Paris after three impressive world class performances in Melbourne over the last three days.<\/p>\n

The determined \u00a0Queenslander showed why she will do whatever it takes to earn that Qantas boarding pass, stopping the clock in 15 minutes 54.52 seconds (2:05.10; 4:13.45; 8:27.33) to claim the 1500m freestyle on the third and final night of the Victorian State Open Championships.<\/p>\n

A time that would have seen Pallister win silver at this year\u2019s World Aquatics Championships in Doha, won by Italy\u2019s Simona Quadrella<\/strong> (15:46.99) with China\u2019s Bingjie Li <\/strong>second in 15:56.62 and Germany\u2019s Isabel Gose <\/strong>third in 15.57.55.<\/p>\n

The four-time 2022 World Short Course champion (400, 800, 1500, 4x200m) wasted no time showing why is one of the best in the world \u2013 opening up an immediate two body length lead after splitting 1:01.03 for the first 100 metres \u2013 before settling into 1:04 and 1:03 pace, finishing in 1:02.80 for the final 100m.<\/p>\n

Pallister currently sits third behind world record holder and Olympic champion Katie Ledecky<\/strong> and Quadrella on the 1500m freestyle world rankings for 2023-24 with her 15:49.94 swum at the Queensland Championships in December.<\/p>\n

And she has a best time of 15:48.96, swum when she won bronze to Ledecky and fellow American Katie Grimes<\/strong> at the 2022 World\u2019s in Budapest.<\/p>\n

Pallister will line up in the 200, 400, 800 and 1500m freestyle when all eyes focus on the Brisbane Aquatic Centre for the Australian Olympic Trials between June 10 and 15.<\/p>\n

And tonight\u2019s win at the Melbourne Sports And Aquatic Centre was a solo effort, Lani \u00a0in the zone from the dive – lapping the field in a signature Pallister performance that came on the same night as her equally impressive win in the 200m freestyle final where she clocked a time of 1:56.63 (27.61; 57.08; 1:27.53).<\/p>\n

Add that to her all-the-way night two win in the 400m freestyle in a top eight in the world time of 4:03.03 (not far outside her pb and No 4 time in the world of 4:02.07 set in the World Cup in Berlin last year) and a slick 55.07 to finish third behind Olympic champions Emma McKeon<\/strong> and Kaylee McKeown <\/strong>in the 100m freestyle on the opening night \u2013 in a non-stop three days of racing.<\/p>\n

Pallister powered her way to an impressive 200m freestyle victory just 0.60 outside her best as the 21-year-old also continues her push towards \u00a0Australia\u2019s world champion and world record breaking 4x200m freestyle relay team.<\/p>\n

Pallister is now consistently in the 1:56s \u2013 and is currently ranked the sixth fastest of the current Australians in the countdown to June\u2019s Olympic Trials in Brisbane \u2013 a strong indication of the depth in Australia\u2019s sprint and middle distant freestyle ranks.<\/p>\n

Australia, current world record holders in the 4x200m freestyle, has emerged as the team to beat in Paris after their barnstorming win in the 4x200m freestyle at the 2023 world championships in Fukuoka with this all-star line-queueing up for what will be a must watch event at the Trials:<\/p>\n

Mollie O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong> (1:52.85): 2023 World champion and world record holder,<\/p>\n

Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> (1:53.01): 2021 Olympic champion, second fastest all-time,<\/p>\n

Shayna Jack<\/strong> (1:55.37): 2024 World Championship finalist<\/p>\n

Kiah Melverton<\/strong> (1:55.94): 2022 4x200mm freestyle world record, Commonwealth Games gold<\/p>\n

Brianna Throssell<\/strong> (1:56.00): 2024 World Championship bronze medallist<\/p>\n

Lani Pallister<\/strong> (1:56.03): 2022 World Short Course Champion 400, 800, 1500 and 4x200m (WR) and;<\/p>\n

Kaylee McKeown<\/strong> (1:56.14): Olympic 100 and 200m backstroke champion.<\/p>\n

Amongst other highlights on the final night saw 100m freestyle winner Will Yang<\/strong> (SOSC, NSW) record two solid personal best times in the 50m freestyle as he forges his wayback ahead of the June Olympic Trials.<\/p>\n

Yang winning the 50m freestyle in 22.28 after his 22.14 in the morning heats (both times faster than his 22.49 previous best) while Cody Simpson<\/strong> (Griffith University, QLD) added the 100m butterfly in 52.02 to his 50m butterfly win in 24.11 in a busy 10-race schedule of heats and finals in freestyle and butterfly as he too eyes the helter-skelter June Trials in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

Aussie Freestylers Dominate 2024 Citi Bank Para World Series<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2024 Citi Bank Para World Series also wound up with dominant swims from Australian men\u2019s freestylers Rowan Crothers, Thomas Gallagher<\/strong> and Jack Ireland <\/strong>among the many highlights.<\/p>\n

Paralympic and World champion, Crothers and his Tokyo teammate and bronze medallist Gallagher put on a real show in the 100m freestyle, Crothers getting the nod by the smallest possible margin 52.63 to Gallagher\u2019s second-best time of 52.64 with another Paralympic champion, Alex Tuckfield<\/strong> taking bronze in a personal best of 54.22.<\/p>\n

But it was Gallagher who took just 23.80 seconds to reverse the 100m result, this time relegating Crothers to silver (24.02) with Wei Soog Toh<\/strong> (Singapore winning bronze in 29.91 in the 50m freestyle final.<\/p>\n

With the 200m freestyle going to Queensland\u2019s in form Jack Ireland<\/strong> in a solid time of 1:54.80 from fellow Australians Liam Schluter (<\/strong>1:57.49) and Darren Sisman<\/strong> (1:58.88).<\/p>\n

Other highlights on the final night saw Australian pair Ashley Van Rijswijk<\/strong> (1:18.75) and Jake Michel<\/strong>(1:06.38 win their respective 100m breaststroke finals while world record holder and world champion Timothy Hodge<\/strong> won the 200IM in 2:14.55.<\/p>\n

And long-time Australian Paralympic rivals Ahmed Kelly<\/strong> (3:05.51) and Grant \u201cScooter\u201d Patterson<\/strong> (3:12.54) again fought out their unique 150m IM right to the finish as the Melbourne meet wound up a successful round of the increasingly popular World Series as these swimmers all eye off the 2024 Paris Paralympics.<\/p>\n
