Going to be interesting to see the splits. Both girls are probably medalist between the flags (especially based on the 30 m of the first lap) but the technical aspects of the swim, start and turn are where they probably lost the medals.

Somemthing we've always been a bit week on in Australian swimming.

Perkins lost the 1991 1500 m World Champs on the turns, DQing in relays in the past
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Certainly wasn't blaming the start time, should have put that remark on a separate line

Standing around smugly giggling to each other beforehand while the others were focusing on their swim would have helped.

I have noticed that they tend to do that in the lead up to all their events. Clearly their way of dealing with the pressure. May be time for a re think after the results today.

Watching the athletics, wouldn't you think in this day and age there would be a more advanced way of identifying
the competitors other than a piece of A4 and some safety pins
