ABBEY Connor 2:06.82 and Lizzy Dekkers 2:06.01 both defeat the brutal SA qualifying time.
Abbey was set to retire at 17 – then changed her mind and now two years later is a Dolphins Olympian.

I was emotional when Shayna Jack finally made her first Olympics so I can not even imagine how she felt after being robbed of a spot in Tokyo.

Suncorp Stadium has emerged as a potential venue for the 2032 Olympic swimming events after an NFL stadium was transformed for this week's US qualifiers. A drop-in pool has been constructed at Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts NFL team, as the Americans select their swimming team for Paris.

Possible only at this stage as their Premier has said that Suncorp will be the main |Olympic stadium after ruling out the Gabba and building a new stadium.

Have moved this to Olympic thread Kram81

Shows you how other than us and the Yanks, the remaining nations struggled to reach the FINA Q times. We also had to reach the extra tuffer Aussie set times, yet we still have the second largest squad.
