The swimmer was ranked number 27 after all the bits and such could not proceed to the next round. Robinson clocked 1:02.79 during heat two and finished in position three after Mexico swimmer, De Lera Ojeda Ma was disqualified. The swimmer booked himself a slot at the Olympics after receiving a wild card. Robinson however said he was happy with the experience gained from the competition. "The competition went well. It was an experience I can’t even put into words. I was slightly off my best time, but that is the nature of sports—you can't always get what you expect. However, I walked away knowing I did my best," he said. Robinon also said he kept an open mind about his chances of making it to the next stage and knew it would be extremely tough.
"I didn’t try to predict the future. If it happened, it happened. I'm not disappointed about not advancing; instead, I’m more motivated to train harder and achieve this feat, if not more, one day.Next, I’m going to take a small holiday to recharge. After that, I'll return to Budapest to continue my training and begin the next cycle of Olympic preparation. I'm planning to compete at the Short Course World Championships in December," he said.
