World championships me selection ke baad 16 saal ki schoolgirl ko Australian swimmer ka future mana ja raha hai. Tuesday ko Adelaide me Australia ke selection trials me shaandar swimming karke Sienna Toohey ne Kaylee McKeown sahit campaigners ko shock kar diya.
Albury ki teenager, jisne keval isliye swimming start ki wo water polo khelna chahti thi, ne women’s 100m breaststroke me jeet haasil ki. 1:06.55 ke personal best time me Toohey ki jeet ne 27 July se 3 August tak Singapore me hone wale world titles me unki jagah confirm kar di.
Toohey ne kaha, “Ye sabhi log mere idol hain, ab main unke saath team me shaamil ho gayi hun.” “Ye wo log hain jinhe main do saal pahle dekh rahi thi aur kahe rahi thi ki main unki tarah banna chahti hun.”
Albury High School me relieving principal ki daughter Toohey starting me water polo player banna chahti thi.
“Mere parents ne mujhse kaha ki agar main swimming nahi janti toh main water polo nahi khel sakti, isliye maine swimming start kar di,” usne kaha. Aur phir mera water polo aage badha aur usi time meri swimming bhi aage badhi.
Main uss point par pahoch gayi hun jahan mujhe swimming or water polo me se kisi ak ko choose karna tha. Jahir hai, maine swimming chose kiya- yahi right choice thi.
Five-time Olympic gold medalist McKeown South Australian Aquatic Centre me Toohey ki feat se impressed logon me se the.
Tuesday night 100m backstroke final jeetne ke baad McKeown ne kaha, “Jab maine apni first team banai thi, tab main 16 saal ki thi aur bade logon ke saath rahne se mujhe bahot kuchh seekhne ko mila.” “Main young swimmers ko ranks ke through aage badhte huye dekhkar excited hun.
“LA (2028 Los Angeles Olympics) me we jitna jada experience gain karenge, hamare paas Australia ko proud karane ka sach me achha chance hoga.”
McKeown, jinhone apne shandar career ke dauran mental toll ke baare me bataya hai, ne Toohey ko kuchh advice di.
McKeown ne kaha, “Bas apne aap ko enjoy karein.” “Jitna jada aap serious hote hain, utna hi aap apne aap par harsh hote hain, aap khud ko ak gaddhe me khodte rahte hain aur isse bahar nikalna kaafi mushkil hota hai.”
Toohey ke liye, ab wo 2032 Brisbane Olympics me swimming ke goal par centred plans ko revise karengi.
“Main jis team me shamil hona chahti thi, wo definitely wahi thi,” unhone kaha. “Ab jab maine ye kar liya hai, toh hume timeline ko thoda aur push karna hoga.”
Tuesday ki raat ko hi Alex Perkins ne 25.36 seconds ka time lekar national women’s 50m butterfly record ko khatre me daal diya, jo 6 saal pahle Holly Barratt dwara set benchmark se 0.05 second kam tha.
Injury-plagued 20 saal ke Ed Sommerville ne Sam Short (1:45.71) se aage men’s 200m freestyle 1:44.93 me jeetkar apni first senior long-course national team banai.
