SASI’s talented swimmers made an almighty contribution to Australia’s best ever performance at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships when they competed in Fukuoka, Japan.

Kyle Chalmers, Madi Wilson, Matt Temple and Meg Harris all came away with multiple medals each to contribute to the Dolphins’ tally.

Chalmers was spectacular for Australia, bringing home a new world record, three gold, and two bronze medals.

The two-time Olympian won gold in the 100m Freestyle, which fulfilled a career-long pursuit of earning a gold medal in this race across all major international events.

“With last night’s result, my medal collection in the 100m Freestyle is officially complete,” Chalmers shared with his followers on Instagram.

The 25-year-old also unleashed a blistering anchor leg in the Men’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay to help his team get the win, with Matt Temple contributing as a heat swimmer.

On top of that, Chalmers raced in the Mixed 4x100m Relay final where the Aussies claimed a world record (3:18.83) and fellow SASI team members Meg Harris and Madi Wilson supported the team in the heats.

It was a special moment for Chalmers and Temple when they stood on the podium together alongside Brad Woodward and Zac Stubblety-Cook after nabbing a bronze medal in the Men’s 4x100m Medley Relay.

Rounding out his medal collection in Japan, Chalmers picked up a bronze in the Men’s 4x200m Freestyle Relay alongside and his teammates Kai Taylor, Alex Graham and Tommy Neill.

Following the championships, an elated Chalmers posted to Instagram, “Absolutely honoured to be a part of this amazing relay team and Australian team in general. It’s been such an incredible week in the pool from everyone!”

Meg Harris added another gold medal to her collection, setting a world-record in the Women’s 4x100m Relay (3:27.96) alongside Mollie O’Callaghan, Shayna Jack and Emma McKeon.

“Another year of doing what I love and couldn’t be more proud of this team,” the 21-year-old said.

Additionally, Harris and Wilson proved to be invaluable in the heats, with both of them contributing to the Women’s 4x100m Medley Relay silver medal and Wilson picking gold in the Women’s 4x100m Relay and Women’s 4x200m Freestyle Relay as a heat swimmer.

Matt Temple continued his meteoric rise as a Dolphin, earning a silver medal in the Mixed 4x100m Medley Relay with teammates Kaylee McKeown, Zac Stubblety-Cook and Shayna Jack.

“A week to remember. Thank you to everyone for your support,” Temple said.

Attention now turns to the 2024 Paris Olympics where all eyes will be on the Dolphins to see if they can replicate the success they enjoyed at the Tokyo Games.
