Shayna Jack on track to return for Australia as pop star Cody Simpson impresses at swimming nationals

Jack, on the comeback trail after serving a doping ban, won her 100 metres freestyle heat on Wednesday’s opening day at the nationals in Adelaide.

Swimmers finishing in the top two in a final at the nationals secure selection for the world championships in Budapest in June. And those placing in the top three earn a spot for the Commonwealth Games starting on 28 July in Birmingham. Jack was initially banned for four years after testing positive to the banned substance Ligandrol about three weeks before the 2019 world championships.

Jack’s automatic selection for an individual 100m freestyle swim at the looming worlds and Commonwealth Games is complicated by the absence of Olympic champion Emma McKeon from the nationals.McKeon’s gold medal in the event at last year’s Tokyo Olympics gives her automatic selection but she will miss the world titles to focus on the Commonwealth Games.

Team Simpson you have this tonight!!!
