It will take Australians a while to get used to saying the name of our newest Olympic champion, Zac Stubblety-Cook. It’s a name the rest of world swimming won’t forget any time soon.
“It makes you hungry again,” he said. “It’s the thing I love the most, the thing I have done since I was 10 years old. It was taken away and it made me realise that I wanted it more than ever and definitely fed the fire.”“I grew up like a lot of Australians, swimming for water safety. I actually used to hate the pool and hate the water. I used to be scared of the deep end. I’m definitely past that now.
Watching Stubblety-Cook swim a 200m breaststroke is a study in patience and rhythm. He is a true stayer, not a sprinter, who goes to sleep on the way out then brings it home with a quickening cadence and finishing surge.Stubblety-Cook says it takes patience for anyone to swim two-and-a-half hours, twice a day. But not everyone swims a 200m breaststroke this way.
Stubblety-Cook turned in sixth place after 50m, fourth place after 100m, third place after 150m and then turned on the speed. His last lap was the fastest of anyone’s in the race.
How about we wait until everyone is eligible for a vaccine and provided it before going with this shit… Seriously…
