Swimmer Shayna Jack started nervous, wondering what reception she'd get in her comeback from a doping ban.
She finished elated, unable to wipe a smile from her face after securing a return to the Australian swim team.
Jack, whose two-year doping suspension ended last year, will swim at next month's world titles and the Commonwealth Games starting late July.
"It was nerve-wracking coming back," Jack said.
"I know I had the support from the (swimming) community ... but just mentally, I didn't know if I would fit in as well as I used to.
"And I walk around pool deck head held high. I absolutely love seeing everyone on pool deck.
"Coming away from this week I can stand up even taller and proud to wear those (Australian) colours again."
On Sunday's final night of the Australian championships in Adelaide, Jack clocked the fastest 50 metres freestyle time in the world this year, 24.14 seconds.
Earlier in the meet which doubled as selection trials for the worlds in Budapest and the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Jack finished second in the 100m freestyle.
Her feats booked berths over both distances at both international meets.
"It's definitely joy and relief, a bit of both," she said.
"I might have a bit of a moment to myself to realise what I have actually achieved this week because I don't think I have given myself that recognition.
"I have had so many messages of support and love that I think I really have to sit down and be proud of myself and reflect on how well I have actually done.
" ... A lot of athletes probably wouldn't have ever come back.
"So for me to be back, but also be back on top of the Australian (swimming) community is amazing.
"There are a lot of overwhelming emotions, to be honest ... it will be a few tears here and there but I don't think you will be able to wipe the smile off my face."
Jack was suspended for four years after testing positive to the banned substance Ligandrol about three weeks before the 2019 world championships.
The Queenslander's ban was reduced to two years on appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which found she did not knowingly ingest the substance.
