Australian swimming star Mack Horton will not have a chance to defend his 400 metres freestyle gold medal after finishing third in the final at the national team trials.
Olympic champion Mack Horton won't be able to defend his gold medal after finishing third in the final of the men's 400m freestyle at the Australian swimming trials in Adelaide.
"Very happy for the boys. Jack works his arse off, and he's been working his arse off for years and Elijah's obviously super talented and coming up through it, so hopefully they can keep creating the 400 legacy for Australia," Horton said. "It's going to be a competition and I know that if you make it in the team in the 400 in Australia you are very much in contention for an Olympic medal, let alone an Olympic gold," he said.
