Lisbeth Constance Trickett, OAM (née Lenton; born 28 January 1985) is an Australian retired competitive swimmer. She was a gold medallist at the 2004, 2008, and the 2012 Summer Olympics. She was the world record holder in the short-course (25m) 100-metre freestyle.

Early life

[edit]

Trickett was born in Townsville, Australia as the youngest of four children. She joined her first team at the age of 4. In 1995, her family relocated to Brisbane, and she started under John Carew, who was then the coach of Kieren Perkins. In 2002, Trickett changed coaches again, moving to Stephan Widmar.[1]

Career

[edit]

2003

[edit]

In April 2003, Trickett competed at the Duel in the Pool in Indianapolis. She swam the second leg of the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay and split 54.07. Australia finished second in a time of 3:39.13, breaking the national record of 3:39.78 from 2002.[2] Trickett swam the freestyle leg of the 4 × 100 m medley relay, splitting 54.56 to help Australia finish second in a time of 4:05.25; the team was later promoted to first place after the US were disqualified.[3] Trickett then won the 100 m freestyle in a time of 54.71.[4] She touched first in the 50 m freestyle in an Australian record time of 24.92, but was disqualified for a false start. Australia protested on the grounds that the video replay showed no movement before the starting signal, but the decision was upheld, as FINA's rules did not allow for video replay to be used as evidence. However, the official who made the ruling personally agreed with the protest, and subsequently petitioned Swimming Australia to ratify Trickett's time as a national record.[5]

In July 2003, Trickett competed at the World Championships in Barcelona. She swam the first leg of the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay, recording a personal best time of 54.64.[6] Australia won the bronze medal in a time of 3:38.83.[7] She then won the bronze medal in the 50 m freestyle in a time of 25.08.[8]

2004

[edit]

Trickett competed at the 2004 Australian Championships in Sydney. In the 100 m freestyle, she swam 53.66 in the semifinals to break the world record of 53.77 set by the Netherlands' Inge de Bruijn in 2000.[9] The following day, Trickett finished second behind Jodie Henry in a time of 54.17, qualifying for the 2004 Olympics in Athens.[10] In the 50 m freestyle, Trickett's Australian record was broken by Michelle Engelsman, who went 24.83 in the heats.[11] The following day, Trickett won the final and reclaimed the record in a time of 24.70.[12]

At the 2004 Olympics, Trickett swam in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay. In the heats, Australia set a new national record of 3:38.26 and qualified fastest for the final.[13] In the final, Trickett split 53.57 on the second leg. Australia won the gold medal in a world record time of 3:35.94, lowering the mark set by Germany in 2002 by 0.06 seconds.[14] Despite going into the Olympics as world record holder in the event, Trickett missed the final of the 100 m freestyle, recording a time of 55.17 to finish ninth. Additionally, her world record was broken by Henry.[15] Trickett's final event was the 50 m freestyle, where she won the bronze medal in a time of 24.91.[16]

On day 5, she swam the first leg of the 4 × 200 m freestyle relay, splitting a time of 1:57.06 to break the Australian record of 1:57.47 set by Susie O'Neill in 2000.[20][21] Australia led for the first 700 m, but eventually won the silver medal, setting a new national record of 7:54.06.[22][23] Trickett was selected to swim the freestyle leg in the final of the 4 × 100 m medley relay, over 100 m freestyle world champion Henry. Trickett split 53.13, anchoring Australia to the gold medal in a time of 3:57.47, breaking the championship record of 3:59.89 set by China in 2003.[24][25] Trickett's final event was the 50 m freestyle, where she won the gold medal in a time of 24.59.[26]

In August 2005, Trickett competed at the Australian Short Course Championships in Melbourne.

Australia won gold in a games record time of 3:36.49, then the fourth-fastest time in history.[33] On the final day, she swam the 4 × 100 m medley relay, splitting 52.87 on the freestyle leg. Australia set a new world record of 3:56.30, lowering the mark of 3:57.32 set by the nation in 2004.[34]

2007

[edit]

Trickett competed at the World Championships in Melbourne. She swam the first leg of the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay, splitting 53.42. This was tied for the second-fastest 100 m freestyle time in history, and was only slower than Steffen's world record of 53.30. Australia won the gold medal in a championship record time of 3:35.48. This was the second-fastest time in the relay's history, 0.26 seconds slower than Germany's world record from 2006.[36][37] Trickett's next event was the 100 m butterfly, where she won the gold medal in 57.15, breaking the championship record of 57.23 set by compatriot Jessicah Schipper in 2005. In the 100 m freestyle, Trickett's championship record was broken by Coughlin in the semifinals.

Australia won the gold medal in a world record time of 3:55.74.[38] Trickett's final event was the 50 m freestyle, where she successfully defended her world title with a time of 24.53.[39]

In April 2007, Trickett competed at the Duel in the Pool in Sydney. She swam the first leg of the mixed 4×100 m freestyle relay against the US' Michael Phelps. She split 52.99, which although was faster than Steffen's world record, was not ratified because the relay was not recognised as official event by FINA.[40][41]

2008

[edit]

In March 2008, Trickett competed at the Australian Championships in Sydney. She won the 100 m butterfly in 56.81, becoming the second woman to break 57 seconds in the event; her time was 0.20 seconds slower than de Bruijn's world record from 2000.[42] In the 100 m freestyle, Trickett went 52.88, breaking Steffen's world record and officially becoming the first woman to break 53 seconds in the event.[43] Her final event was the 50 m freestyle, which she won in 23.97, breaking the world record of 24.09 set by the Netherlands' Marleen Veldhuis.[44]
