TOKYO EXPERIENCE
He swam the third leg for Great Britain in the heats of the 4x200m freestyle relay at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, but was replaced by Duncan Scott for the final where the British team won gold. Although he did not receive his gold medal on the podium, his teammates put on a ceremony for him backstage. "It's just an honour to be part of it. It's taken a lot of hard work, it's the training and sacrifice and it has 100% been worth it. It was a little tough being told I wouldn't be in the final, but I knew whatever the guys got I got as well. There were a lot of nations looking at us [at the backstage ceremony], but it was amazing, really nice of the team to do that and be recognised as the unsung hero. I hope that carries on for the relays and we celebrate medals like that. It's been a crazy journey, a bit of a rollercoaster, but having the support there has been amazing."
