Mack Horton will not defend his Olympic gold medal in the 400m freestyle in Tokyo after failing to qualify in his pet event at the Australian swimming trials.

Reigning Olympic champion Horton was gracious when speaking to reporters after the race.

“Every time you turn in the 300m, you always question if there is another 100m in there. That was the same today, clearly not enough.” The 25-year-old can still qualify to represent Australia in an individual event at the Olympics by placing in the top two in the 200m or 800m freestyle. Earlier in the night, versatile Dolphins stalwart Emma McKeon booked her ticket to Tokyo in the 100m butterfly in an Australian record time.

Horton fails to qualify for Tokyo OlympicsMack Horton is the reigning Olympic gold medallist in the men's 400m freestyle. He won't be swimming in the event in Tokyo. 🤯😧 9WWOS Swimming trials are dumb DylanNoronha Unless he qualifies in other events and Jack McLoughlin does a Craig Stevens Competition too hot. Mack swam the 400 faster at these trials than Rio trials. Winnington has a huge motor, and McLoughlin qualifies for his 2nd Olympics. Mack might still qualify for the 200m relay.
