Man, I just love this kid. He is so humble, so down to earth.Perhaps not many of you know, but in 2023 he barelly trained cuz he had lots of exams .Many of you said he is down...no he never was, but the kid has some other priorities..like gettin to university and create a future after the swimming ends.

Only thing he needs to nail in every race his start which he struggles the most. Rest is remarkable

[MrVpassenheim]

So happy for him! It might take a sub 47 to medal in Paris.

What dreadful coverage - you could barely see the race because of the absurd close ups.
