To get here after eight years of injuries and three surgeries is a testament to the sacrifices, endless rehab and support from everyone who believed in me
I started the course in December because I thought I was going to have to get a side job to support my training and that I couldn’t just be an athlete.
I can't say for sure that I will stop in 2024.
I have been swimming for so long, 18 years, and I have so many feelings,
Absolutely gutted to have to walk away from tonight's semi final
Yesterday my Olympic dream ended , I'm very upset because I would've hoped for more but on the other hand I don't have any regrets because I gave my best
Fifteenth place means nothing to me
That’s not normally my style of race, but I didn't panic in my running, even if my head was a different story
I'd never tried to go and swim before, never had any lessons and here I was going for this taster session
Mike, I may be the MVP of the Olympics, just saying,
Man, this is a grind out here,
For him to break the world record in the Olympic final is incredible... he deserves that gold medal. And I did everything I possibly could to challenge for that gold medal.”
We thank (Tony) for his strong contribution, passion and commitment during that time and wish him every success for the future... The process for the recruitment of the Matildas head coach will also commence immediately."
Pan, the Chinese boy, straight before we walked out said: ‘You’re my idol and I love, love, love watching you.’
I used a lot more energy than I expected in the team final, but obviously worth it,
I gave everything today, you know, it doesn’t come together sometimes, but it’s part of the journey,
I wasn’t ignoring it. I was really trying to listen to what was happening,
I did tell him, though, I’ve been licking my chops ever since to get ready for this all -around debut."
Fred pushes me more than he probably knows,
It is just so much sweeter beating America,
