2024 PARIS SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES

Athletes from around the world are putting the final touches on their preparations just days away from the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.

The 44-strong Australian swimming squad is wrapping up their staging camp in Chartres, about 98 km/60 miles outside the host city.

The likes of Emma McKeon, Kaylee McKeown, Ariarne Titmus and Elijah Winnington are among those seeking to wreak havoc on the aquatic medal table, carrying momentum from their success at the 2023 World Championships where the Aussies earned the most gold medals at 13 in all.

I like that the Australian team calls themselves the dolphins. The US needs an aquatic mascot. Maybe the sharks?

Well the Aussie team have been in France for weeks which is probably more important.

They are shots from a training camp, not of a wild party. I can’t see why you think they are sad either.

I’ve learned so much about “banter” in the comments! See here I thought banter was about nice flow, being funny, connecting with others.

But over the last year I’ve learned that Australian banter is about just saying dumb things and then we’re all supposed to pretend like it was a good thing to say because “it’s just banter” and then not “banter” back.

You do realise that it’s not Australians saying these “dumb” things?

I uhhh…think he was referring to Cate Campbell.

Also I know where commenters are from. I can’t share where anybody specific is from (privacy laws), but…real Australians for sure say stuff like this lol.

Let’s not be cryptic haha, yeah I’m Australian! But genuinely perplexed why a harmless tongue in cheek observation has people miffed when I see so many genuinely provocative comments on here that I’d never dream of saying myself. Ah well, what can you do! 🙂

Looks like the cameraman had a preference for women

To be fair, they are where the biggest stars of the Australian team reside, save Chalmers.

nice to see they took a series of shots right when McKeown saw the 57.13 and realized Regan isn’t swimming for Greg Meehan anymore and that she won’t be getting away with easy wins anymore.

“oh sh*t I already maximized my potential while this American girl is barely getting started”

I mean…Regan moving to Bowman was definitely the best move for her, but she was training with Bowman last year and still lost to Kaylee in all 3 backstroke events. Not saying that’ll happen again this year, but this seems like a cheap shot at Meehan

She started to train with Bowman in 2022.

You are sooooo salty that Kaylee has had so much success. It’s kind of pathetic tbh.
