Australia fell short against the United States in the Duel in the Pool at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre | cadenhelmers SMHsport
Meg Harris could only wonder how her year was going to pan out when she went over the handlebars of a scooter and broke her arm with the world championships and Commonwealth Games on the horizon.

A slice of history was still made with the first para and able-bodied relay swum at an international event, and Australian ace Emma McKeon is already calling for more. But that mattered little to the thousands of fans who had filtered through the doors of the home of the Sydney Olympics, who relished the chance to see Australia’s swimming stars in action as officials look to capitalise on a golden period for the sport.
