Olympic revenge on the line at Australian Swimming Trials in 'stacked' women's 200m

ABC  

It's no secret that Australian women's swimming has extraordinary depth. "Our women's 200m is absolutely stacked," Shayna Jack, who qualified sixth-fastest said. All four of the women that set the 4x200m freestyle relay world record of 7:37.50 at the 2023 World Championships: O'Callaghan, Jack, Titmus and Brianna Throssell were in action — and all made the final. "There's a lot of pressure riding on this event, especially having the world record in it," she said. She appeared confident in leading out the first heat of the day, reeling in fast-starter 18-year-old Hannah Casey to qualify second fastest behind 400m world record holder Titmus, who comfortably won the second heat.
