These games being her debut into major international meets, the young swimmer found herself in Delhi, India. Tessa's only race (the 200m breaststroke) was held on Wednesday 6 October. After a solid heat she qualified 6th for the final, where she came second to ex-world record holder and fellow Australian, Leisel Jones. Not far behind Tessa, Sarah Katsoulis finished 3rd, which meant that Australia claimed Gold, Silver and Bronze.
