2023 world champion Sam Short seems to have bounced back after a sub-optimal showing at the 2024 Australian Trials. Short suffered from a stomach bug during the Aussie trials but was still able to qualify for the team in his 3 primary events (400, 800, and 1500 free), an experience he is now grateful for.

“Looking back that was probably, uh, pretty good for me, like mentally. It was a good learning experience.”

Short spoke with the media during training camp in Canet, where he was excited about logging multiple fast times in practice.

“Done some really solid sessions, I’m feeling really good and um, been putting up some fast times.”
