The 2024 Olympic Games begin just days from now and the nation of Australia is primed to make some major waves in the La Défense Arena.
The 44-strong Dolphins roster revealed last month boasts such heavy hitters as Kaylee McKeown, Mollie O’Callaghan, Ariarne Titmus and Kyle Chalmers. However, they all don’t hail from the same home states, giving the lineup a truly Australia-wide flair.
30 of the Olympics originate from Queensland, 5 from New South Wales, 3 from West Australia, 3 from Victoria, and one each from South Australia and Tasmania. Chalmers is the sole South Aussie while Maximillian Giuliani is the sole Tasmanian athlete.
Australia experienced its most successful Olympics in history last time around in Tokyo with swimmers amassing 9 golds, 3 silvers and 8 bronze medals.

I actually did up a more detailed spreadsheet not long after trials when I saw a similar article for the US team. It’s based off of information from AOC website and filling in the gaps with googling and looking at the results database so it may not be perfect.

Its what club they train at currently. Chalmers is now a queenslander, training at st andrews. I find it weird to show the suburbs, where they live.
The vast majority of top swimmers swim in QLD but often are born elsewhere. Don’t let Shannon Rollason see this because he hates when QLD claims swimmers that weren’t born here!
Titmus was born and grew up in Tassie. Throssell is from WA but now swims in QLD. McKeon is from “The Gong” in NSW. Southam was born in WA but lives in GC/Tweed which literally spans over the border between QLD/NSW.
Just a warning you might get some salty non-QLDers mad about this article haha.
its not accurate, should be counted off which club they are swimming for putting them under that state federation, chalmers and giulani are queenslanders
This doesn’t seem accurate. I thought Titmus was from Tassie and Throssell is a West Australian.
Indeed – if this was for US swimmers, how would ‘hailing from’ be defined?
