With the Tokyo Olympic Games one month away, follow your favorite Australian swimmers on Instagram and Twitter to see their preparations first hand. The team features 35 athletes announced here.
Some of the key athletes to follow along with are Kaylee McKeown, Ariarne Titmus, Cate Campbell, Emily Seebohm, Kyle Chalmers, Elijah Winnington, and Jack McLoughlin. Kaylee McKeown recently broke the women’s 100 backstroke world record, previously held by American Regan Smith. Ariarne Titmus is very close to the world records in the 200 and 400 freestyles. Cate Campbell and Emily Seebohm will both be competing in their 4th Olympics. Kyle Chalmers will look to defend his 100 freestyle Olympic title, and Elijah Winnington and Jack McLoughlin have the #1 and #2 times in the men’s 400 freestyle in the world this season, respectively.
A more in-depth highlight of the Australian Olympic Trials can be found here.
If anyones wanting to get to know Kyle Chalmers and/or Bronte Campbell more, I recommend Head Above Water on Amazon Prime.
Or you could just talk to them. This coming from someone that doesn’t get the Facebook/Twitter/Instagram appeal. Yes I still pay by cash too hahaha.
All on Instagram but a lot less on Twitter compared to the US. I wonder how this will pay off in the lead up to the Games 🤔
Very few people in Australia use twitter – we can usually just shout our would-be ‘tweets’ in the backyard and most Australians will hear.
Technically there are 5.6 million accounts in Aust & 56 million in the USA. Population is 1:15 therefore Twitter is more popular in Aust than US .
There are levels of analyses to that number eg genuine vs burner accounts but basically you are wrong .
Twitter is a horrible cesspool best avoided.
Twitter is awesome. Facebook is the cesspool.
I never understood the appeal of Twitter … seems jumbled up to me with all those re tweets etc ..
The sharpest people and content are on Twitter. None of the other platforms are remotely competitive in that area.
The sharpest people wouldn’t even waste time on social media .. just sayin
Instagram >>>> Twitter
How did you miss Emma McKeon as the key players? She could potentially the winning 8 medals (100 FLY, 50, 100 and 200 FREE, 4X100 FREE, 4X200 FREE, 4X100 MEDLEY, 4X100 MIXED MEDLEY)! She swims the most events this Olympics, women or men.
She’s, imo, the most key player of them all.
She’ll be very managed.
Especially after the 4 year ban!!
