Christal O'Reilly Clashing (born September 8, 1989) is an Antiguan swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] As a one-time Olympian (2004), she is coached and trained by her mother Edith O'Reilly Clashing, who founded the Wadadli Aquatic Racers (WAR), an elite swim club in Antigua. Her sister Karin O'Reilly Clashing competed in the 50 m freestyle at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.[2][3]
Eight years before her sister Karin participated, Clashing qualified for the same event, 50 m freestyle, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, as a 14-year-old swimmer from Antigua. She received a Universality place from FINA in an entry time of 34.36.[4] She challenged six other swimmers in heat two, including Bahrain's Sameera Al-Bitar, who shared the same age with Clashing. She posted a lifetime best of 31.55 to earn a fourth spot by 0.55 of a second behind joint winners Al-Bitar and Ghazal El Jobeili of Lebanon. Clashing failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed sixty-seventh overall on the last day of preliminaries.[5][6]
