9x Olympic Medalist Kyle Chalmers Debriefs Paris Olympic Games, Looking Toward LA28

Kyle Chalmers is an Olympic champion and after Paris, a 9x Olympic medalist, winning two silvers and a bronze at these most recent games. The Australian swimming legend swam the 100 free individually or on a relay 8 times over the course of the 9-day meet. In those 8 swims, he was 48.0 once (prelims 100 free), 47.xx 6 times, and 46.5 anchoring Australia’s silver medal 4×100 free relay. Chalmers was kind enough to take some time out of his engagement celebration in Norway to chat about the highs and lows of his experience in Paris. Coming into his 3rd Olympics, Chalmers was dealing with injury and had to change coaches and training locations 4 months prior. Despite this, he is still walking away with his 3rd individual medal in the 100 free, a historic feat. 0:00 Kyle Chalmers Introduction 1:40 Swimming 8x100 Freestyles in 9 Days 4:15 Illness, Poor Conditions in Olympic Village 8:54 Sleeping During the Games 11:15 400 Free Relay 15:26 100 Free 22:54 46.40 100 Free 26:40 Kyle Chalmers the Hero 32:19 Building Resilience 41:41 Making Olympics, Engagement, & Birthday in 1 Week
