In an unexpected twist on day 5 of the 2024 Australian Olympic Trials, veteran Cate Campbell missed making the A-final of the women’s 100m freestyle.
32-year-old Campbell produced a morning swim of 54.27, claiming the 9th seed, just .01 outside of 8th place.
Among the top 8 was a foursome of elite stars who dipped under the 53-second barrier to set the pace. Meg Harris led the field in 52.52 followed by Mollie O’Callghan who notched 52.57.
Shayna Jack ranked 3rd in 52.65 while Campbell’s sister Bronte Campbell wrangled up the 4th slot in 52.95.
C1 has been as quick as 53.53 this season, a performance she put up at last December’s Queensland Championships.
At the Australian Open Championships in April, the 4-time Olympian clocked a mark of 53.91 to place 6th.
Speaking after this morning’s prelims, Bronte Campbell said of her sister’s miss, “I’m really disappointed for Cate.
“She is one of the most incredible athletes that we’ve ever had in this event.
“She was the No.1 freestyler for what, 10, 11, 12 years in a row – that is a feat that’s pretty much unmatched in Australian sporting history.
“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.” (AAP)
C1 will still have a chance to make the team for Paris in the women’s 50m free which is slated for tomorrow.
