- Preview #1
- Entries/Results
We gave a glimpse into the stacked lineups headed to South Australia for the State Open Championships which begin on Friday but now a handful of additions have been made to the 3-day meet’s entries.
Matt Temple, Sam Williamson, Tamsin Cook, Mitch Larkin and Zac Stubblety-Cook now look to join the party at SA Aquatic & Leisure Center.
24-year-old Temple is scheduled to take on a hefty program of events including the 100m fly, 200m fly, 50m free, 100m free and 200m free. He’ll clash with Marion teammate Kyle Chalmers the shorter distances of free and fly.
It was just last month when Olympic finalist Temple ripped a new Australian and Oceanian Record in the 100m fly. While competing on the final day of action at the Japan Open, Temple scorched a lifetime best of 50.25 to become the 6th-fastest performer of all time in the event.
25-year-old Cook is also entered in an array of events including the women’s 200m free, 400m free, 200m fly and 400m IM. A two-time Olympic medalist, Cook took a hiatus after missing the 2018 Commonwealth Games team, returning to racing in late 2020.
As for Williamson, Larkin and ZSC, the trio are sticking to their respective bread-and-butter races. Williamson is entered in the 50m and 100m breast while Larkin looks to top the men’s 100m back field. ZSC is entered in just the 200m breast occurring on the final day of competition.
Nothing too interesting so far.
Bronte 24.61.
So no livestream, meet mobile fairly slow to update and live results not updated for ages today.
Welcome to Sadelaide 🙁
wunsch is leading off the 4×100 free tonight
after warming up with a fly leg in the 4x50med
And not long after 50 free final.
She switched to free (24.76). McPherson did fly.
Took a while but finally ‘live’ results showing.
Williamson drops a 59.25 in the morning heats of 100m Breaststroke. Wish there was a stream…
I think I am reading that right…
that’s his seed time. the webpage is showing the first few events as complete, despite not updating any times
True, my mistake. Eventually got meet mobile working.
1:01.8 is slightly more believable.
It’s pretty pathetic that there is no livestream. There was 2 years ago I think? Even Victoria has a livestream usually.
I really hope we unearth another Mollie O at Olympic Trials… the same way Mollie was one of the surprise performers at Trials 2021 and look at her now being such an integral part of the team.
Haha.
Yeah.
I hope so too. Wouldn’t it be great if every Trials revealed a new Mollie O?
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a new Mollie O each year but it might get a bit confusing.
Yes we will her name is Oliva Wunsch
I was certain that wilson would retire after paris, but her absence post-worlds makes me think she won’t even swim at trials.
on another note, hannah casey has moved to bond
Yes its seeming more and more doubtful we’ll see Madi at Paris.
Thanks for the info on Hannah Casey. Could be a good move; she has her World Juniors relay teammate Milla Jansen there to train with.
+ Mia O’Leary also trains there and has a 54.31 100 free PB
You been snooping at results central or heard about Casey some other way?
