Australia's Mollie O'Callaghan says she has to "suck up" the disappointment of missing the medals in the Olympic 100m freestyle final."I expected a lot more," O'Callaghan said.ABC Sport Daily podcast
But Swedish great Sarah Sjöström trumped the field, winning in 52.16 seconds — the 30-year-old world record holder was the oldest swimmer in the field by more than four years.O'Callaghan was next-best in 52.34 and Jack touched in 52.72 as the Australians failed to make ground on the last lap after turning in their finishing positions.
"I tried really hard to manage myself and get up for this but I knew 100 free was going to be hard because it's a lot about speed and that's something I really lack in.Jack, who was also a part of Australia's triumphant 4x100m freestyle relay team on Saturday night, missed the Tokyo Games three years ago after serving a two-year doping ban."I tried to reflect but absorb the fact I'm here as an Olympian. A couple of years ago I never thought that would be possible.
