Cameron McEvoy suffered stage fright in his Olympic freestyle flop, Australian swimmings head coach says.It looked like he was frozen ... how do you call it, stage fright, coach Jacco Verhaeren said on Thursday.It had nothing to do with any physical, technical, tactical choices whatsoever.He just wasnt there at the right time. And that is mental. And what part of mental we have to find out.McEvoy entered Wednesday nights 100m freestyle final in Rio as gold medal favourite but flagged to seventh in a race won by his Olympic village roommate Kyle Chalmers.McEvoy refused to make any excuses for his unexpected failure.I dont want to stand here being the guy rolling off excuses, it was this or it was that, McEvoy said on Thursday after swimming in a 50m freestyle heat.Not only because that is not the type of person I am, but I also dont want to take anything away from what Kyle has achieved.Verhaeren said McEvoy had a perfect preparation for the race, dismissing rumours the swimmer was sick.No. He hasnt been ill, the coach said.McEvoys coach Richard Scarce said he had never seen the swimmer in better physical condition.In the moment, it just didnt come together, Scarce said on Thursday.You dont want that to happen now at the Olympics ... but it just wasnt right for him on the day.And he has got to get past that. And he will, hes a great young athlete.He could do it again shortly and there might be a different outcome maybe. But that is the moment, that is sport, and that is the Olympics - you have got to do it in that moment.McEvoys bankrupt parents Rod and Janine are being sued for almost $200,000 which they allegedly owe to family friends for a 2008 loan to Rod to expand his failed watch business.I dont think it helps things, Scarce said of the legal action.Its not an excuse because you have got to have a way and an art of dealing with that and getting on with the job.I certainly dont think its great for anyone ... but he would never say that either.And in the moment here, you have just got to get on with the job.C.
