Those 400m free times are insane

 

Woo-min was about 3 seconds slower than his World Championship winning time, but the Aussie pair are way ahead of that, with Winnington only .19 off his PB already

58.09 for Mollie O’Callaghan in the women’s 100m backstroke at the Australian Championships!

She was all over the lane even hitting the lane rope. If she can tidy that up indoors at trials she's gong 57 something for sure.

 

It was another great session but the men's 200 free was a bit of a fizzer.

Did she say that she will swim it at trials?

Absolutely don’t see her swimming it at the Olympics.

It doesn't clash with anything at trials and there's a small chance if breaststrokers fail to deliver at trials then Kaylee will be our best option for breaststroke in the medley relay so they might use Mollie for the backstroke leg. Something like O'Callaghan/McKeown/McKeon/Jack. She'd probably want to swim it anyway just to put down a tapered time in ideal conditions.

3  x 3:41s already in April and Hafnaoui hasn't even revealed his hand yet (and probably won't until Paris). Maybe Kim Woomin can drop more as well. Klemet's should be 3:42.81 tho right?

[JoshMartini007 2,547]

Will another supersuit record drop? The 400m free might be the events to watch for both genders
