Event 01 - Mens 400m Freestyle - Final - 7 years agoHi All
It is with great sadness, lots of tears and an equal amount of hugs, that I told my squad last night that I will be leaving. I have had an awesome team of swimmers and coaches, over the 17 years I have been at PSC. I am so proud of all that they have achieved.
I have made some great friends, had some fantastic and challenging experiences that have been part of an incredible journey.
The New Zealand swim team completed their campaign at the 17th FINA World Championships in Budapest.
Waikato’s Bradlee Ashby (Fairfield club) was close to his personal best in the gruelling 400m individual medley, timed at 4:20.54 to be 23 fastest in the heats.
He would have needed to be nearly three seconds under the national record to make the final, in what is his back-up event.
Fractions proved the difference for two New Zealand swimmers chasing semifinals on the penultimate day of the FINA World Swimming Championships in Budapest.
Backstroke junior world champion Gabrielle Fa’amausili, 17, in her first elite world championships, clocked 25.38s to be 24th fastest from 87 starters in heats of the 50m freestyle. The talented United club swimmer from Auckland has swum 0.3s fastest which would have been enough to climb inside the top 16 for the semifinals.
There were no additions to New Zealand swimmers qualifying for semifinals and finals on day six of the FINA World Swimming Championships in Budapest.
Queensland-based Emma Robinson, from the Capital club, was 22nd fastest in heats of the 800m freestyle from 38 starters, headed by world record holder and Olympic champion Katie Ledecky.
Robinson was outside her personal best with a 8:44.87 effort, and not able to produce the same level as her strong PB in the 1500m freestyle earlier in the week.
Florida-based Corey Main could not repeat his earlier heroics to earn a second final at the FINA World Swimming Championships in Budapest.
Main, from the Howick Pakuranga club, had hoped his outstanding swim in the 100m backstroke that saw him make his first World Championship final, would be a catalyst for his favoured 200m backstroke on day five today.
He snuck into the final with the 16th fastest times, but hoped a semifinals swim under his best of 1:57.51 might be enough to reach a second final to seal an excellent world championship. That did not prove the case, matching his 16th world ranking from two years ago, when he could only manage 2:01.00 in his semifinal.
