McEvoy will no doubt be very disappointed, The choice to rest him for the 200 relay last night that cost Australia a medal will be questioned.
He showed great sportsmanship in his post race interview as he congratulated Chalmers.
Hopefully he bounces back for the 50.

McKeown wins!!, she has gone faster than any Australian ever has at an Olympics, she will go through as fastest qualifier. Renshaw finished strongly to end up 2nd. Mckeown says she eased off in the last last 50. She said in her interview ‘I feel like this is my time to really enjoy this race and make all that hard work pay off’.
