Open: Celebrated four-time Olympian Emily Seebohm Reveals Plans To Swim On And  She&#8217;s Taking Son Samson Along For The Ride"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>SYDNEY OPEN: Celebrated four-time Olympian Emily Seebohm Reveals Plans To Swim On And She&#8217;s Taking Son Samson Along For The Ride<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Four-time Olympian <strong>Emily Seebohm<\/strong> has revealed that even if she misses this year\u2019s Paris Games it\u2019s not the end of the road for one of Australia\u2019s most celebrated Olympic swimmers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seebohm will set herself for the lucrative World Cup circuit and the World Short Course Championships in Budapest in December.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 31-year-old seven-time Olympic medallist \u2013 three of them gold in relays &#8211; has wound up her pre-Trials racing schedule tonight in Sydney where she added another victory in the 200m backstroke to her win last night in the 100m backstroke, saying she and coach Matt Brown are on track.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is seven months since Seebohm gave birth to son Samson and she is still breastfeeding while training and preparing for her fifth Olympic Trials Meet at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre from June 10-15.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the idea of taking Samson on team \u2013 whether it\u2019s to the <a href=\"https:\/\/olympics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Olympics<\/a> or on the World Cup or to the World Short Course \u2013 has been discussed positively with Swimming Australia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt used to be once you have a baby that\u2019s it but now we see so many women in sport who are mum\u2019s and travelling with their kids and they are included in the team environment,\u201d said Seebohm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou see it with the Matildas (Australia\u2019s women\u2019s football team), the tennis players and on the Australian Water Polo team, it\u2019s a stepping \u00a0stone to keep mums in their sports longer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI am still breastfeeding Samson and have done so since he was born and I haven\u2019t been \u00a0away from him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEven if I don\u2019t make it to Paris I want to keep swimming at the World Cups and World Short Course because I think I can keep improving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remarkably, Seebohm (St Margaret\u2019s, QLD) continues to drop her times \u2013 clocking 2:11.42 at the 2024 Sydney Open UniSport Nationals tonight \u2013 two seconds faster than her time swum at the Australian Open Championships on the Gold Coast last month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seebohm edged out fellow World Championship medallist and world record holder <strong>Minna Atherton<\/strong> (Bond, QLD) who was not far behind in 2:11.74, with <strong>Alice Campbell<\/strong> (QLD Uni of Technology) third in 2:17.52.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTrials are obviously four-and-half weeks away so it\u2019s getting really close now; I started swimming at meets in early January and February,\u201d said Seebohm, who won individual bronze in the 200m backstroke in Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd to see the drop from 2:15 to 2:11 is quite good although I have expected faster the entire time; every time I swim a race I thought I\u2019d actually go a bit faster and of course we haven\u2019t had a chance to taper yet either or do anything differently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s just been a lot of hard work with coach Matt Brown reassuring me not to worry and that it will all come together in the end when we have a full taper, I\u2019m more rested and with more time on my hands lots of things change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019ve made some great steps forward leading into Trials so it\u2019s just a matter of enjoying the next four-and-a-half weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile in the women\u2019s 100m freestyle final, 2023 World Junior gold and silver medallists <strong>Olivia Wunsch<\/strong>(Carlile, NSW) and <strong>Milla Jansen<\/strong> (Bond, QLD) were again 1-2 Wunsch touching first in 53.93 ahead of Jansen in 54.35 with Brittany Castelluzzo (Tea Tree Gully, SA) third in 55.28.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wunsch and Jansen will be pushing hard for places in the top eight in the top-heavy women\u2019s 100m freestyle final top eight at Trials.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, former world-record holder <strong>Zac Stubblety-Cook<\/strong> delivered a 2:07.89 effort in the 200 breaststroke, a strong effort with the Aussie Trials approaching.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2024 Sydney Open UniSport Nationals, Sydney Olympic
