Grimes will be one of only two Americans to compete in the 10k open water at the World Championships. Second place goes to the best American finisher at the international race in Italy next month. Brennan Gravely. Later on Friday, the top American from the national open water championships also earned a world spot and a chance to qualify for Paris. Graveli was 12th at last year's World Championships. Four years ago, Haley Anderson and Ashley Twichell became the first athletes to qualify for the U.S. Olympic team in Tokyo in the 10K Open Water World Championships.

Anderson, the only American to win an Olympic medal in open water (silver in 2012), ended his career finishing sixth in Tokyo. Twichell finished fourth on Friday in her first open water race since giving birth in May. Grimes, who placed fourth at the Tokyo Olympics in the 800m pool freestyle at age 15, followed last year by qualifying for Team USA for both the pool and open water world championships.

She won silver medals in the 1500m freestyle and the 400m individual at Budapest's Danube Arena, before placing fifth in open water at Budapest's Lupa Lake. Swimming in open water is more exciting than swimming in a pool. The four women who beat Grimes at the World Championships were over 25 years old. Every Olympic medalist in open water swimming was at least 20 years old, except for one, according to Olympedia.org.

Since open water swimming was added to the Olympic program in 2008, one American has competed in both pool and open water at the same Games: Jordan Wilimowski, who in 2016 was fourth in the 1500m freestyle style and fifth for 10 km.

Ron Aitken, who trains Grimes at the Sandpipers of Nevada, said Grimes would ideally run in both races if she qualified for the Olympic2024 in each discipline. The 10 km open water races at the Olympic Games are held after the completion of all pool swimming events.

Australian Olympic swimming star Campbell sets sights on Paris 2024 after making return

Four-time Olympian Kate Campbell of Australia has vowed to do everything in my power to be in shape for next year's Olympic Paris after her long-awaited return to action. Campbell competes in the Australian Swimming Championships this week in Queensland, her second competition after Tokyo 2020.

The 30-year-old took an extended break from the sport after competing in the 2021 Olympics in the Japanese capital, but is now back with the goal of becoming the first Australian swimmer to compete in five Games. She ruled out the World Aquatics Championships due to be held in Fukuoka in Japan in July as she set her sights on Paris 2024.

" Paris is the ultimate destination, Campbell told Australian broadcaster Fox Sports. I'm doing everything in my power to be in shape and be ready to show my best, because this will be the last time I go to the pool. I deeply know that the work in Paris will be The last time I prepared for the Olympic 2024, I will compete [for] my country if I qualify. The focus has shifted very much to me being at my absolute best for it."

Campbell made her debut at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where she won bronze in the women's 50m freestyle and the women's 4x100m freestyle relay. She won gold in the women's 4x100m freestyle at London 2012, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, where she also won the women's 4x100m medley title. After a 15-month hiatus from the sport, Campbell returned last month to the Brisbane Senior Metro Championships before taking part in the Australian Swimming Championships.

I feel the most uncomfortable swimming in a very long time. I'm not quite sure what to expect, Campbell told Australian newspaper The Courier-Mail. This is the first opportunity to see the competition that I will compete with. I've asked many other retired athletes, and while they all had different reasons for leaving, they all said, When you know... you know.

I didn't have that understanding. When I returned from Tokyo, I was exhausted in every sense of the word. But I did not stop loving swimming and the Olympic 2024 element associated with it. I am so grateful to Swim Australia for the way they supported me when I took my leave, for their continued support for my return.

Cody Simpson's Olympic Paris dream takes a HUGE blow

When he switched from singing superstar to swimmer, Cody Simpson knew he wanted to aim for the Olympic Paris 2024, but he dealt a huge blow to that dream. Simpson, along with partner Emma McKeon and all the other top swimmers in the country, are on the Gold Coast for the Australian Swimming Championships as preparations for next year's Olympics pick up steam.

With stiff competition for places on the strong Aussie Dolphins team, Simpson's hopes were dealt a huge blow when he finished eighth (53.48) in the 100m butterfly that saw him reach the final during the Commonwealth Games last year.

Final silver medalist Matt Temple won in a stunning 51.49, beating Simpson by a whopping two seconds. Superstar Kyle Chambers finished fourth (52.09) and teenage prodigy Ben Armbruster continued to prove himself to be worth watching, finishing in second place just 0.47 seconds behind Temple.

This has long been a big deal for the Australians and eighth place was a blow to Simpson's hopes of qualifying for Paris and he is being urged to go all-in in his freestyle ambitions. The Nice to Meet You singer received a gold medal for his performance in the team 4x100m freestyle event won in Birmingham, and a silver medal for his participation in the 4x100m medley event, finishing second.

Simpson has already broken the 50-second barrier in the 100m freestyle and with six swimmers likely to be selected to compete in the relay in Olympic Paris, this could be his best shot. And there is no time to waste - today he will line up in the 100m freestyle heats and so far takes eighth place in qualifying.

Of course, different swimmers are at different fitness levels and are cutting back on training plans ahead of the next Olympics in July; but the Citizens certainly gave eager fans an idea of ​​where Simpson might be in the pecking order.

Temple, after winning his favorite event, said it was a tough environment for every swimmer given the depth of talent on display on the Gold Coast. I think it's very interesting ... I think that such meetings every month is a good stepping stone for world champions, he told.

It always keeps you on your toes when people come. And yes, for those guys – I know Jesse had a big week last week (Australian age titles) – and Ben (Armbruster) who went under 52 twice in one day and also 50 for free, thank you. It's been a huge couple of years for Simpson since he decided to return to swimming in front of Paris after a successful youth career before he decided to head to the US and focus on his singing.

His life couldn't be more different, recently telling GQ magazine, Years ago I went to bed at 5am and now I wake up at 5am! The heavily built athlete has been in a relationship with McKeon since April last year, and the lovers have reaffirmed their commitment to each other by purchasing the sprawling $1.8 million mansion on the Gold Coast where they both train.

Spread across two levels, this five-bedroom luxury home has three bathrooms, a large walk-in closet, state-of-the-art appliances and a high-ceilinged front entrance with a soaring staircase. It also has a chic outdoor entertainment area with a large lawn. And, of course, the pool. No doubt he'll spend every second in it until next July before he hopefully travels to Paris with the rest of the Australian Olympic Swimming team.
