Then, after waiting until Day 9 for his one and only event, Hunter put together a great swim - winning his heat and setting a new PB in the 100m Butterfly, breaking the 58-second barrier for the first time!

Despite all the preparation and effort, sometimes race day doesn’t go as planned - and today was one of those days. It was a tough outcome, especially given how hard she’s worked. But this result won’t define her. Eve will come back stronger, more determined, and ready for the next challenge.
