Background:

Emily Seebohm broke into the spotlight at the 2006 Australian National Championships.  14 year old Emily tied with the reigning champion in the 100m backstroke and automatically secured her place on the Australian 2007 World Championship team. 

In 2008, at the Australian Olympic Swimming Trials, Emily became the first Australian woman to swim under one minute for the 100m Backstroke in the semi finals.  She then went on to qualify for the 2008 Olympic Games with another national record swim in the finals. 

At the Olympic trials Emily also set a new world record becoming the first woman to swim under 28 seconds for the 50m Backstroke; opting out of the 50m final the following day to concentrate on her record breaking 100m backstroke semi final instead. 

In the 2008 Beijing Olympics Emily was part of the gold medal winning 4 x 100m Medley relay in world record time of 3:52.69.
