Coach Michael Palfrey discusses performances by Brianna Throssell and Zac Incerti on day 4 of trials

so mick powerfully a great swim by brianna in the 200 fly uh what were your expectations and did she meet them uh honestly probably not we probably come in with a little bit more expectations i would say day one the hundred fly uh 57.1 investors 57-0 i think pretty much on the money where we thought we'd roughly be the 2003 we had a very good heat uh and then probably not the final we wanted and i'm going to say probably that one there as well uh comfortable this morning we probably didn't execute to a level where we want to just feel that um yeah the last 50 probably should have been a little better than what it was right was come from behind when though was that the plan to you know just really build throughout um come from behind win yeah i probably think it was more the case of lizzy uh being out very fast um you know that's very tough the way she did it i think the best is 50s 59 and a half and she went out and 60 high whereas brees 57 won going out and 101 like there's a fair bit of difference so i think when you think of um pb percentage on the front end um i probably would think that you know one's using a bit more energy than the other ones so and i think while refinished uh maybe maybe a little bit better than the others i think we're probably not happy with the overall um execution and and zack swimming pretty well uh how you how you feeling he's going yeah well zach um 2017 he sort of made the aussie team um for the 100 free relay and then 2018 he had a disc bulge at the com games trials um quite a lot of pain and we got it sorted later in the year took quite some time and then 2019 come and the same thing sort of happened again so he spent 1890 with two separate disc bolters um so i'm just over the moon that he's back there just swimming at this level again um he's been training fantastic since january of 2020. and in all honesty i'd probably say that um the occasion it's it's being he's generally a pretty good rester so being at these speeds doing the skills that cert that all of a sudden he's turning coming into the wall at faster speeds you're not coming into the wall at you know a 50 seconds but you're coming in at a 20 49 second speed so i think i think there's a bit of learning going on there at the moment around there um but i just think exact experience in the 200 he's probably done half not even half a dozen you know four or five two hundreds uh probably over the last 12 18 months i just think that with another half a dozen i think he's just going to keep learning more and more with 100 free there's a lot more confidence i think the 200 you pace and got strategy whereas 100 a guy like him i probably think of um if you think of a guy like amon sullivan he comes in with huge power and explosive qualities he's probably pacing the front end whereas for zach he's pretty much just going going from the get-go and he's got an unbelievable kick so he sort of tries to bring that kick whereas that i would you know that our challenge in that one is when he goes to the legs with that great kick his rate drops so we've got a i think some um tweaking there to do when you go to the legs to stay on the arm still so even though you weren't necessarily happy with breanna swim she's qualified she's for the olympics and you've got to be happy with that right yeah so i've got five weeks to um we had a quick chat tonight after it and um and uh we just sort of said that um like there's you know maybe it's just the moment but um you know she's like i think she's got at least a huge sum of the four by two uh the 100 fly individual 200 fly individually let's get 100 free tomorrow um that's it's hard i think when you've got an athlete that is um as talented as brie i think when you if an athlete can handle training for one event you're creating a lot of pressure on the event but your improvement and the execution and how you're incrementally trying to move them forward from the season season is a bit different than when you've got four events and you're consistently trying to move four events forward you know there's different styles of turns for all those strokes how many kicks off the walls you're going to do for all those events um different even the 2003 and 200 fly is a bit different race strategy that she puts in place so i just think that um for bree she's doing a very good job um and i guess uh she got one more swim to go here and hopefully she can finish the meat pretty well and we can get up the townsville for a few weeks and cairns and then and then through to tokyo have a bit of a celebration tonight you deserve it thank you very much cheers
