Cam and Bronte gradually got worse as the week has gone on and Cate couldn't go an inch today, 53.24 today, 51.97 on Sunday. On top of that Emily Seebohm couldn't go at all after going in in great form. If it happens to one then you say "so be it" but 4 of them then something is amiss. You don't lose form that sharply in 4-5 days, not 4 of them. There's a few gold medals right there although Kyle Chalmers did win the 100m anyway. Interesting McEvoy withdrew from the 200s and the 4 x 200 relay pretty late. Cost us a medal in the 4 x 200 and I'm sure under normal circumstances could've been very close in the 200m individual. Must be something not right.The swimmers are supposedly trained/prepared to the minute, those in charge of that f-ed up big time. The Yanks are talented sure but they have always appeared to have done this aspect better than us. Boils down to $$$, sh!t in = sh!t out.
Thought we were a living certainly in the women's medley relay but now they'll be lucky to place.
