However, it was enough for the 22-year-old to book her ticket to Paris and follow in the footsteps of her Olympian mother and co-coach Janelle Pallister. “I don’t want to cry on camera,” said Lani Pallister. “It’s been huge. I was thinking about three years ago all through today, to be honest, and I didn’t think I’d be here standing behind the blocks.” Pallister was on a mission to make Australia’s “Dolphins” swim team for the Tokyo Olympics three years ago but was diagnosed with a condition causing an irregular heartbeat. She later suffered an eating disorder and admitted to struggling with her body image when comparing herself with other swimmers. She nearly gave up swimming at her low point but battled on with the support of her mother, her coach Michael Bohl and mentor Dawn Fraser, the Australian swimming icon of the 1950s and 60s. All gathered around her by the pool deck in the evening session to soak up a hard-won triumph.
