Mixed emotions for the Olympian...
Kyle Chalmers starred for Australia’s swimming team An Olympics star has smashed a world record at the Paris 2024 Games – but his effort will not be officially recognised. Australian swimmer Kyle Chalmers produced a stunning performance in the men’s 4x100m freestyle relay final at the La Defense Arena in the French capital. Swimming his team’s fourth leg, Chalmers completed the two-length sprint 0.21 seconds quicker than the current world record time.
Australia came second to Team USA in the 4x100m freestyle relay Chalmers helped add another medal to Australia’s tally in Paris less than two years after he threatened to quit the sport. The swimmer was unhappy with ‘false headlines’ relating to an alleged rift with Commonwealth Games team-mates Cody Simpson and Emma McKeon. ‘I am your poster boy from 2016 and I’m your villain in 2022,’ Chalmers said after declaring that his career was at ‘breaking point’.
