21 dos 35 australianos para Tóquio são estreantes na Olimpíada

Duas nadadoras, Cate Campbell e Emily Seebohm vão para sua quarta Olimpíada, outros três vão para sua terceira, nove vão para a segunda e um total de 21 dos 35 convocados fará sua estreia olímpica.

O anúncio da Swimming Austrália ao final da Seletiva trouxe apenas uma exceção nos rigorosos critérios que estabeleceu um índice mais forte que a marca A da FINA. Foi o nadador Matt Wilson, vice campeão mundial dos 200 peito em 2019, e que ficou a dois décimos da marca exigida. Wilson sofreu um drama pessoal com a morte de um familiar na véspera da competição.

Com 35 nadadores, a Austrália quase iguala o número do Rio 2016 quando teve 37 atletas e conquistou 10 medalhas, 3 ouros, 4 pratas e 3 bronzes.
