Australian swim team has last hit out before China Olympics
July 7, 2008
The Australian Beijing Olympic swimming team has had their final hit out before the August Olympics. The team competed in a grand prix carnival at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.
The event was conducted following the same night heats and morning finals format that will be used in Beijing.
The highlight on the final day of action was Brisbane teenager Cate Campbell posting the fifth fastest 50m freestyle swim in history.
There is some concern over Eamon Sullivan as he was not able to swim at top speed in the 50m race. He appeared to injure himself at the start and he just slowly swum the lap before getting treatment after the race.
Now that the US trials are almost completed it will be interesting to compare results and try to guess who is going to win the medals in Beijing.
Here is the full Australian Swim team for the 2008 Beijing Olympics:
