What went wrong in Rio, and why it's time for Swimming Australia to make a change
At the start of the 2016 Olympics it seemed as if four years was a long time in the Swimming world. In London 2012, the Australian swim team had produced our worst performance at an Olympics in 20 years.
Thanks for your comment! I definitely agree with respect to McEvoy and Campbell. They performed really well in the relays indicating no issue with form. My concern is the pure volume of our swimmers that performed were worse (69%) and by large margins. To me Seebohm seemed out of form indicated by her 200 m backstroke time – 3 seconds off that at trials. Even Hocking in the same event was 1.5 seconds off her trials time in the final .. a large distance in that event. There are many others I could mention too.
I definitely agree with regard to how they handled such disappointments!
