Strauch Strikes Silver at the Olympic Games

Bendigo's Jenna Strauch has crowned her wonderful swimming career with an Olympic Silver medal in Paris today.
Australia's Women's 4 x 100m Medley relay Final team of Kaylee McKeown (Backstroke),
Jenna Strauch (Breaststroke), Emma McKeon (Butterfly) and Molly O'Callaghan (Freestyle) brought home
Australia's final medal for the Meet in a time of 3:53.11.
Competing at her second Olympic
Games, Jenna clocked an impressive 1:07.31 for her leg. As our nation's best female breaststroker,
she also represented Australia in the 100m and 200m events.
Jenna started her career in the pools of Central Victoria as a 12yo member of the Bendigo East Swimming Club, with her prodigious talent soon becoming apparent to all who saw her swim. In 2011 she left Bendigo to chase her Olympic dream. Like all of the greatest athletes she was challenged with significant setbacks, persisted, stayed true to her beliefs and today prevailed on the podium at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Congratulations Jenna! Everyone in the Central Victoria swimming community has been watching your career progress and we couldn't be happier for you with your success today.
