Australia’s stars were out in their Rio Farewell Tour at the 2016 Grand Prix. There was also a bit of an international presence as well. After some solid swims in the morning, the bar rose again at night, just a month out from Rio.
Cate Campbell took nearly two tenths off her prelims time (24.23) with a 24.04 to win the 50 freestyle. That time was a new meet record and is the second fastest in the world this year, though she already owns the first with a 23.08. That swim is certainly a promising sign, with just over a month until the start of the Rio Games. Sister Bronte finished second in 24.47, .3 faster than this morning, and only .23 off her season’s best.
“While this is really nice and it’s a great confidence booster you can’t read too much into it†Cate told Swimming Australia.
In the 100 freestyle the top three men were all under meet record time. Cameron McEvoy got his hand to the wall first in 48.43. Just .06 behind him was James Magnussen in 48.49 for silver. For Magnussen that was his fastest time post-shoulder surgery. Kyle Chalmers touched in 48.80 for bronze.
