S\ufeffhayna Jack<\/a> lived out a wondrous moment on Friday night that had played on repeat in her head for years.<\/p>\n

The Australian swimmer was engulfed in a drugs controversy that left\ufeff her contemplating suicide<\/a>, but what she's produced at Australia's Paris 2024<\/a> trials this week has set her up for a debut Olympic Games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old had already secured her place on the Dolphins team as a 200m freestyle relay swimmer on Wednesday night, but what the Queenslander did on Friday night triggered a vastly more surreal flood of emotion.\ufeff<\/p>\n

She finished second in the 100m freestyle final and nailed Swimming Australia's Olympic entry standard, meaning she will not only be going to Paris as a relay swimmer but an individual swimmer.<\/p>\n

After shedding tears and hugging her rivals while still in the pool, she shed more tears in a pool-deck interview with Nine, more tears while speaking to TV reporters, more tears while speaking to writers, and more tears in a spine-tingling moment with her coach, St Peters Western mentor Dean Boxall.<\/p>\n

In a dim, largely cordoned-off area at Brisbane Aquatic Centre, but an area within sight of Channel 9 broadcast cameras, reporters and some spectators, she shared one of the longest and tightest hugs of her life with her coach, letting the tears flow.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffI think for me it's just using every bit of motivation from anyone who ever doubted me and knowing that I reached points of absolute despair and not even knowing if I wanted to return to the sport," Jack had told reporters moments before the emotional embrace with Boxall.<\/p>\n

"It's just happiness. I'm so proud of myself.<\/p>\n

"I couldn't have done it without so many people.<\/p>\n

"It's just pride for myself and pride that I get to prove to everybody that I deserve to be here and this is what I was born for."<\/p>\n

Mollie O'Callaghan won the 100m freestyle final with a time of 52.33 seconds, ahead of Jack in 52.72.<\/p>\n

The reigning Olympic gold medallist in the event, five-time Olympic champion Emma McKeon\ufeff, won't get the chance to defend her title, having finished sixth.<\/p>\n
