Embattled Australian swimmer Shayna Jack will be suspended from swimming for four years if she fails to prove her innocence in a doping scandal, according to The Daily Telegraph. Jack made headlines late last week after testing positive to banned substance Ligandrol, a muscle-building drug. Richard Ings, the former chief of the Australian Sports Anti-Doping […]
The first rush of enthusiasm on looking at this is clear: a high-achieving swimmer on the circuit – Australian Mack Horton – decides to take a stance.
It’s a controversy that’s taken the swimming world by storm, with Australia’s Mack Horton refusing to stand on the podium alongside China’s Sung Yan in apparent protest of his recent dealings with FINA’s doping authority.
On paper, Bronte Campbell admits it is not a good look. The Australian’s reign as 100m freestyle champion is officially over after she finished second last in the final on day six of the world swimming championships at Budapest.
Teenage Olympic champion Kyle Chalmers has pulled out of July’s world swimming championships and is to undergo surgery for a worsening heart condition.
Former Olympic swimming champion Grant Hackett has been arrested on the Gold Coast after a “disturbance” at his parents’ house on the Gold Coast.
Swimming is the undisputed flagship of every Australian Olympic Games campaign.
Michael Phelps has wrapped up a legendary Olympic career by claiming his fifth gold medal of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and 23rd overall as part of the USA’s winning men’s 4x100m medley relay team.
Australian Kyle Chalmers has brought home the 100-metre freestyle gold medal, surprising the rest of the contenders, while our women’s 4×200 relay team finished second, the Campbell sisters qualified for the women’s 100 freestyle and the Michael Phelps train continues to accelerate on Day 5 at the pool.
Cate Campbell’s shortcoming in the Rio Olympics 100m freestyle final was disappointing, but still expected.
When Cate Campbell imploded in the women’s 100m freestyle final – the most certain of our certain gold medallists – I was as stunned as anyone.
Bronte, 22, and Cate Campbell, 24, are two fierce competitors who have made Australia very proud regardless of where they have placed.
Are our Aussie swimmers, the Dolphins, mentally soft?
