00:00100%. We don't need to worry about the depth of Australian 4x2 women's swimmers. I think

00:06Australia is in very good hands and having opportunities like this will only then excite

00:11the next generation to really push and to get themselves in a position to become a golfin

00:16in the future.

00:17Personally I haven't had any word. I was drug tested after the event and the pool was surveyed

00:23so all the boxes were ticked for it. But regardless of if it's approved or not as a world record,

00:29the ball has definitely started rolling for interest in this. In the track world they

00:32have the 60 metre indoor, they have the 100 metres as their blue ribbon event. It's not

00:37a push for adding the 25 to the Olympics or anything like that but just to have award rankings

00:42and a step forward to take it somewhat seriously within our sport I think will be massive for

00:50sprinting in general.
