One of the Olympic greats, just had to acknowledge the shear dedication and hard work of this awesome young man.

Great swim matched by a great attitude. As I mentioned on another thread, he got me out of bed to go swimming this morning. Brilliant achievement.

In a class of his own. Looks good for Tokyo 2020 as well!!

He’s done very well since he changed his name from Chris Ashton and gave up rugby. Always knew that swan dive would come in useful.

Comes across well in interviews, he seems to genuinely have that ‘no fear’ mentality that most of the great winners exude. Very rare for a Brit.

Brilliant swim, I set the alarm clock to watch his race live and wasn’t disappointed.
