Griffith students of physics, business, nursing and public health will share a 50m pool with the world’s fastest swimmers when the 17th FINA World Swimming Championships start in Hungary on Friday (July 14).
Emma McKeon, Cameron McEvoy, Madi Wilson and world championships rookie Shayna Jack will be hoping to make notable contributions to a strong Australian team performance in the pool.
They’ll be joined in Budapest by four other Griffith students also competing at one of the world’s major sporting events of 2017.
Exercise science student, Kiah Melverton, will take part in the 5km open water event, while Nikita Pablo (science) and Kirsten Kinash (public health) are members of the Australian synchronised swimming team.
Domonic Bedggood, a sport development student at Griffith’s Gold Coast campus, is part of a 10-strong diving team. He will be aiming to maintain his remarkable rise up the sport’s rankings which took him to gold at the Glasgow 2014
