The 100m freestyle is a deep event for the Australian women. Only seven swimmers in the world have broken 53 seconds this season, including O'Callaghan, Harris and Jack. The Australian women will be looking to defend their Olympic title in the 4 x 100m freestyle relay after setting a world record in Tokyo, winning by more than three seconds.
Wunsch competed in the 50m freestyle, 200m freestyle and 100m butterfly at the trials, as well as the 100m freestyle, and will compete in the 50m freestyle and 50m butterfly this weekend as a warm-up for the Brisbane event.
