There was a period where she feared her days competing at the top were over. Now, this Brisbane product has been announced as the nation’s first Olympian in Paris next year.
Casting aside the frustration of missing the Tokyo Olympics, left to contemplate where her future lay, Chelsea Gubecka has declared she had no intention of Paris being her last foray on the big stage.
It is a moment Gubecka admits she felt may have never eventuated, having debuted in the Olympics at Rio 2016, before relinquishing her place to Kareena Lee. “From there, I came back in 2022 with a bit of a fresh mind and started building up from there into my first win .“I’m just super happy and really grounded, I think that makes a really big difference in my performances now.
However, Gubecka said she did not “have too much concern” about whether the event would be deemed safe enough to go ahead, noting that a few weeks after she was unable to swim there earlier in the year the water quality was “back to normal”.
