In one of the highest-quality 100m freestyle fields in Australian swimming history, four-time Olympic gold medallist Cate Campbell misses out on making the final by just 0.01 seconds.
The size of the task facing Australia's 100m sprint freestyle swimmers on day five of the Australian Swimming Trials could not be understated.Eight of the women named on the start list for Friday morning's heats at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre have an Olympic gold medal safely stashed in their locker.
"I know she was a bit ill leading into this and had a really rough last few weeks, so I'm sure she'll be disappointed because we all know that she's an incredible athlete and can swim a lot faster than that." "It's an incredibly tough field and I'm really proud to be part of it and proud that we've managed to have such a long legacy in this event."Sarah Sjöström's seven-year-old world record of 51.71 — one of just two times ever under 52 seconds — remains frustratingly out of reach, yet a real possibility for one of these swimmers if they get things right on the night.
If the USA want a first gold in the event since Sydney, 24 years ago, at the Games' return to Paris, they're going to have to fight as hard as the Aussies to even get a spot."It's something to be proud of, though. Our nation is very strong and we are going to the Olympics as one of the strongest.
