2020 Tokyo Olympics
O'Callaghan swam for the Australian team in the preliminaries of all three women's relays at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, receiving two gold medals and one bronze for her contribution. Swimming the 1st leg for Australia in the heats of the 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay, she posted a time of 53.08 and received a gold medal after the Australian team won the final.[3]
In the 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay preliminaries, O'Callaghan swam a junior world record of 1:55.11 when swimming the lead off leg. Her time would have placed her fifth in the 200 metre freestyle final.[4] However, because the Australian coaches had previously decided to use four fresh swimmers in the final, O'Callaghan was controversially not selected for the final where Australia finished third.[5]
In a heat of the 4 × 100 metre medley relay, O'Callaghan again posted a competitive time; her anchor leg split was 52.35, only 0.24 seconds slower than the fastest freestyle split in the final by Cate Campbell.
