2009 World Championships
Day 1 brought the 4 – 100 m freestyle relay, and with the absence of Eamon Sullivan and Ashley Callus, Australia were never in medal territory, finishing eighth. The 100 m butterfly final saw Lauterstein set an Australian record, but he failed to get on the podium. After two disappointing finals, he did not leave Rome empty handed, capturing a bronze medal in the 4x100m medley relay. In the preliminaries, he clocked a 50.16, which is the second fastest 100 butterfly split in history behind Michael Phelps.

“You have no idea how promising the world begins to look once you have decided to have it all for yourself. And how much healthier your decisions are once they become entirely selfish.”
