Australian Champs, Day 2, Finals: Tara Kinder Conquers The Pain Barrier In 4:37.14 To Race Up The 400IM World Rankings<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Victoria\u2019s breaststroking IMer Tara Kinder,<\/strong> 2025 will already be a year remembered as \u201csimply the best\u201d after continuing her painful climb up the world rankings in Brisbane last night.<\/p>\n

Kinder continued her breakout year with a slashing victory in the 400m individual medley on night two of finals at the Australian Open Championships at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old from Melbourne Vicentre, who quit the sport for 18 months, is certainly back with a bang \u2013 producing yet another huge drop, clocking a world class time of 4:37.14 \u2013 a time that would have put her squarely in the mix in last year\u2019s Olympic final.<\/p>\n
