Aussie Trials, Night 4, Finals: King Kyle Chalmers Turns The Clock Back 11 Years To Celebrate A Decade Of Domination<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australian freestyle king Kyle Chalmers has turned back the clock 11 years in Sydney tonight \u2013 celebrating an unbeaten domestic record of more than a decade in swimming\u2019s blue ribband 100m freestyle.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old streeting one of the most competitive fields in Australian Championship history \u2013 with all top qualifiers breaking 49 seconds to make the final.<\/p>\n

And it was Chalmers in the unusual lane six who again took control of the final to power his way to the wall in 47.59 \u2013 his 16th<\/sup> fastest time which continues his life-long love affair with the 100m freestyle.<\/p>\n

Just like he had done on so many occasions before.<\/p>\n

Chalmers revealing after the race that his career began in earnest at the 2015 Australian Championships at the same Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre in the same event and in the same lane.<\/p>\n

The then unheralded 16-year-old from South Australia had finished fourth behind Cameron McEvoy,<\/strong> James Magnussen <\/strong>and Tommaso D’Orsogna,<\/strong> smashing the National Age record with a time of 48.69 \u2013 a time which still would have seen him make the final in 2026.<\/p>\n

Chalmers reminiscing after the race, saying: \u201cI am still loving the sport and it\u2019s pretty special to look back 11 years ago when I made my first Australian team (for the 2015 World Championships) and in this event and in that lane.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m loving where I\u2019m at and the fact that I have two coaches who believe in me more than I believe in myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

But things have certainly changed in those 11 years that have seen Kyle Chalmers become a dominant force in 100m freestyle swimming around the world, as he waves to the grandstand and his wife Norwegian swimmer Ingeborg Loyning,<\/strong> who is nursing their daughter Astrid in a \u201cGo Daddy\u201d t-shirt.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is certainly different to prepare for a race (like today\u2019s) with a baby to contend with but my wife has been amazing; taking the load off and allowing me to get the best out of myself\u2026and a shout to my Mum too for coming to Sydney and helping out,\u201d said Chalmers who will now contest his third Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and defend his crown from Brimingham.<\/p>\n

Chalmers had made the decision to change his mindset coming into the morning heats session.<\/p>\n

Saying he had been inspired by his old sparing partner and good mate, McEvoy and his success after he turned 30, with Chalmers embarking on his own mission to beat Father Time and execute the perfect race.<\/p>\n

Today in the morning heats of the 100m freestyle, the perfect race was all about conserving energy.<\/p>\n

Chalmers qualified fifth fastest for the final, touching in 48.65 with Flynn Southam (Bond, QLD) the fastest (47.98) and taking over the lane normally reserved for the King, with a host of sub 49ers making up a red-hot field.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried to put as minimal energy and mental energy as I possibly could to just get through the round, that is the most important thing,\u201d said Chalmers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo as much as I am always expected to be in the middle lane for a final, I’d love to be in the outside lane so that people can’t necessarily ride off me as much as they sometimes do\u2026doing what I needed to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just trying to hold on; I\u2019m sure these young guys will catch me at some stage. But I hope it\u2019s not tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it certainly wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Chalmers was out in 22.81 \u2013 the second fastest behind new 50m sprint star Jamie Jack<\/strong> (second to McEvoy in last night\u2019s 50m final) who split 22.54.<\/p>\n

But when the field surfaced from the turn it was the \u201cThe Big Tuna\u201d from Port Lincoln who emerged like a Collins Class submarine, powering down the home stretch and swimming away to keep his unbeaten record in home waters intact.<\/p>\n

Southam, who traditionally was one of the slowest through the first 50m in 23.36 had the fastest second 50 of 24.58 to Chalmers 24.78 to clock 47.94 \u2013 posting two impressive sub-48 secs swims in one day \u2013 with no one more impressed than Chalmers.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Flynn to swim two 47s in one day is pretty special \u2013 I have done that on several occasions and I know how tough that can be,\u201d said Chalmers, impressed with the entire field.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was that close that the top four could well have been any order and transforming it into Gold in 2028 in LA..that\u2019s the goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

And they\u2019ll get two chances in Glasgow against England and Scotland and then in Irvine against the USA and Canada.<\/p>\n

Joining Chalmers will be a mainstay of Australia\u2019s Olympic and World Championship relays Kai Taylor<\/strong> (St Peters Western, QLD) 48.21 and one of the real standouts of this Trials meet \u2013 Nudgee\u2019s Harrison Turner<\/strong> \u2013 who won his specialist 200m butterfly on night three after finishing third in the 200m freestyle and third in the 100m butterfly to secure a MVP ticket on the 2026 men\u2019s relay squads that are certainly taking shape.<\/p>\n

Just ask the King!<\/p>\n
