The Australian Dolphins have been on a roll since recording their best-ever performance at Tokyo 2020 and are now looking to shift the power rankings at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka. Check their race schedule and how to watch all the action live on TV or online.
Swimming
Olympic swimming champions Kaylee McKeown, Ariarne Titmus and Kyle Chalmers, as well as Australia's most decorated Olympian Emma McKeon are headlining one of the country's strongest ever teams at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka with the goal to shake up USA's long-time dominance on the medals table.
Five-time Olympic champion McKeon and four-time Olympic medallist Titmus, in particular, will be hoping to make a strong statement after skipping the previous edition in Budapest to focus on the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Australia has already picked up two gold medals in marathon swimming in Fukuoka with Chelsea Gubecka taking silver in the women's 10km and later helping the national squad win bronze in the mixed team event. Now it is up to the country's Olympic champions to extend that medal collection in the pool.
