There is now a maturity to our group (with Chelsea) that has turned potential into opportunity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey\u2019ve refined their craft\u00a0and really grown as a group. Like the entire Dolphins team, these four are really about making each other better and I can\u2019t wait to see what they do in Paris.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The swimmers announced today by the Australian Olympic Committee qualified Olympic quotas for Australia at the World Aquatics Championships in Doha, with Johnson narrowly missing the women\u2019s podium in fourth, while Sloman and Lee finished the men\u2019s event in fifth and ninth respectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With only a handful of international 10km races under her belt, pool-convert Johnson has already shown she is a force to be reckoned with on the international open water circuit. Sloman is a five-time National champion and six-time medallist on the World Cup stage, while Lee showed his competitive instincts out-touching Italy to win gold for Australia as the anchor leg of the mixed 4x1500m relay at February\u2019s World Championships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.olympics.com.au\/games\/paris-2024\/team\/\">Athlete bios available here<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gold Coast local Johnson will join fellow Queenslander Gubecka on the River Seine, the first time Australia will field two female competitors since its inclusion in the Olympic Games in 2008.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 26-year-old said she couldn\u2019t believe she was going to be competing at her first Olympic Games in Paris.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt wasn\u2019t until I said to my mum, I am getting a QANTAS ticket to Paris, that it actually started to feel real,\u201d Johnson said.\u00a0 \u201cOpen water swimming is such a humbling sport, and the environment is always different.
