在加州尔湾Woollett水上运动中心举行的泛太平洋游泳锦标赛中，澳大利亚选手Isaac Cooper在50米仰泳决赛中遭遇"令人恼火"的赛道困扰。这位2024年世界冠军因室外泳池缺乏参照点，在比赛中三次撞击泳道绳，最终以24.59秒的成绩不敌美国选手Quintin McCarty，仅差0.08秒获得银牌[1]。库珀的个人最佳成绩为24.12秒[1]。
同一夜晚，澳大利亚女性游泳选手取得佳绩。Meg Harris在100米自由泳决赛中以52.60秒的成绩夺得金牌，击败美国选手Gretchen Walsh（52.78秒）[1]。此外，澳大利亚女子4x200米自由泳接力队战胜美国队[1]。值得注意的是，50米仰泳将首次成为2028年洛杉矶奥运会项目[1]。
Australian swimmer Isaac Cooper encountered repeated obstacles during the 50-meter backstroke final at the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships held at Woollett Aquatics Center in Irvine, California, colliding with the lane rope three times due to the lack of reference points in the outdoor pool [1]. Despite his struggles, Cooper's time of 24.59 seconds fell just 0.08 seconds short of American rival Quintin McCarty, who claimed gold [1]. Cooper, who holds the 2024 world championship title, had previously achieved a personal best of 24.12 seconds [1].
The same evening brought success for Australia's Meg Harris, who captured the 100-meter freestyle gold medal with a time of 52.60 seconds, edging out American competitor Gretchen Walsh, who finished in 52.78 seconds [1]. Australia's women's 4x200-meter freestyle relay team also defeated the United States in their race [1]. The 50-meter backstroke is set to make its debut as an Olympic event at the 2028 Los Angeles Games [1].
