We could easily say Kaylee, Ariarne and Mollie performed better. But for me it was Shayna & Bronte. Leaving career threatening doping incident behind and to win over extraordinary Aussie women is master class. Then Bronte recovering from a muscle tear, lack of racing and the knowing Cate is out of the game yet she performed her heart out. Also, I think Olivia Wunsch will be the future of Aussie swimming!
Shayna Jack had the best meet she could have imagined we feel. Cannot wait to see what she's capable of now the pressure of qualifying for the team!
How did Bronte make the team when Cate is the better one?
She swam faster than Cate at the Aussie Trials
Ariarne and Kaylee will go down as Australias greatest female swimmers and with our rich history that’s impressive.
That would be extremely impressive
Great job reviewing the meet, mate!
You forgot to mention the mens' 400 and 800 freestyle wins by Elijah Whittington and that Sam Short had gastroenteritis; swam in the 400 and 800 (came 2nd in both) but withdrew from the 1500. I think Sam will be swimming all 3 i.e. 400, 800 and 1500 in Paris....so look out for him as his 2 swims at the Olympic trials were well below his best...for good reason.
Those two are the ones to watch for me in the men’s events.
We agree, we had to miss some races out otherwise the video would've been too long. Both those guys have a great chance at medalling and getting the gold too
I’m anxious for the women’s events in Paris
We'd be feeling very confident and excited if we were Australian. Those girls can come away with plenty of medals
@@PropulsionSwimming I really hope we clean up in the pool in the mens and womens. I want to see us get some upset gold medals GO YOU GOOD THING!!!!!!!! GO AUSSIES!!!!!
IF 2 of the Big 3 (McKeown/Titmus/MOC) "hit" then it should be a very favourable outcome even if not quite Fukuoka level. IF they all bat 1/2 then plus the 2 free relays then it will still be "solid". Total medals .... probably in the 12 -16 range.
Outside Winnington/Short (400FR) & McEvoy (50FR); golds don't look likely on men's side and this can even be extended to medals. Short (800), Chalmers (100FR) & maybe ZSC (200BR) look the only credible opportunities and 4X100 the only feasible relay chance but none of these are rock solid.
Agree with all of this. Do you think they will get the same result at worlds where they won more golds than USA?
@@PropulsionSwimming Distinctly unlikely. We also need to acknowledge that elite performers from other countries may well nibble away some golds that some USA/AUS fans are budgetting for.
For a Fukuoka repeat, AUS would need their female Big 3 to max out (McKeown 3/3 and either Titmus or MOC to go 2/2, other 1/2) plus hope the men can deliver a couple. More realistic outcome is McKeown 2/3 and Titmus/MOC both 1/2.
USA (favour for 3 relay golds) has them covered as AUS is playing for minor coin outside 2 female free relays. AUS women may be able to break even or maybe slightly shade US women IF they're firing but its game over with the men. Whilst I'm not seeing US steamrolling the meet; its frankly a no contest.
@@commonwombat9171 I really hope we win the ones we're expected to (or at least a good chance) and get a few upset golds (and silvers and bronze).
5:20 Mollie broke Ariarne’s record 3:52:90 which broke the previous record
As an Australian, I'm far less confident in our chances of matching the Americans in gold medals than I was after Fukuoka. I still reckon McKeown is the key to our chances; if she goes 3/3 we'll have a shot.
You got any predictions on where the American golds will come from?
@@PropulsionSwimming Women: 800 free, 1500 free and 100 fly are safe, 4x100 medley they should win, Smith is now the favourite for the 100 back but it could still go either way. I'm not predicting any other golds, but there are still heaps of chances, 200 IM, 200 back, 200 breast and 200 fly are legit shots but I'm predicting McKeown x2, Schoenmaker and McIntosh. That leaves me with five.
Men: 4x100 free might be the only lock but the ceiling is still very high, the backstroke events are insane but I lean Xu in the 100 and Murphy in the 200, might stick with my China prediction in the 4x100 medley, all comes down to their butterfly leg really. I think Finke wins the 1500 but he could go 0/2 or 2/2. 100 fly is a total crapshoot so Dressel is possible. They're a chance in the breaststroke and IM events based on times this season but you'd have to think the likes of Qin and Marchand will show up when it counts. That gives me three but this very much feels like the floor, seven is very possible.
There's a chance this is their weakest tally since 88 but Australia even equaling Tokyo requires a lot to go right.
@@PropulsionSwimming W800, W1500, W100FLY, W4XMED heavily favoured. Lean their way M4XMED, M4X100. Think they'll win one of men's backstrokes; likewise with Finke with M800/1500. Very much in the conversation W200IM/W100BK.
I wished the 100m back was on another day at the olympics bc it’s on the same day as the 200m free and mollie won’t be able to compete both 💔
Some schedule clashes at this Olympics are going to cause disappointments.
Unfortunate we won't see Mollie in the 100m Back but she's may well have a greater chance at Olympic Gold in the 200m Free
@@PropulsionSwimming Yeah you'd rather the events not clash, but if they do, you may as well go the one you're stronger in.
the 100m womens was the best because 7 swimmers were touching distance for paris till the last 3 meters. i guess in paris,Australia would win gold in womens 100,200,400 freestyle,100 and 200 back,4x100 and 4x200 freestyle....these are certainty..............others chances are in mens 200 breaststroke,4×100 medley relay in men and women,4x100 mixed freestyle........Australia will win 10 gold medals......i m from srinagar,kashmir,INDIA
W 100m Fr - Maybe Soibhan Haughey is flying right now
W 200m Fr - Yes
W 400m Fr - Yes
Womens Fr Relays - Yes
M 200m Br - outside chance now
Medley Relays - not a gold threat I'm afraid, some weaker legs which other countries just don't seem have
(Mixed Fr Relay isn't an Olympic event btw)
@@PropulsionSwimming I'm predicting Mollie O in the 100 m free; she's young and still improving....a world record in Paris....there, I said it!
@@PropulsionSwimming Strongly favoured: W200FR/W4X200
Legit favourite: W4X100/W200BK
Big chance/joint favourite: W100BK/W400FR/W100FR/W200IM
Only chances on men's side look to be Short/Winnington M400FR & McEvoy M50FR
Whilst that adds up to 10 gold, the reality is that you will not have a 100% strike rate with the more likely range being 4-8 depending on whether they get any "meet momentum" going.
Love a bold prediction. You could very well be correct, who knows
The women's team is the greatest ever with Kaylee, Ariarne, and Mollie, but Dirty Jack is a blot on the greatness. I hope she isn't on any relays.
she clean
Let's hope all the Aussies rise to the occasion and swim the races of their lives in every event :D Would love to see us go above and beyond at this olympics.
Noooooo - McKeown had a DOG of a touch in the 100 back.
Mollie will be a star like Stephanie Rice!!!! I love Aussies swimming team... Greeting from Malaysia!!! 🤩😍😘
Big shoes to fill but we agree
