Olympic Champ Zac Stubblety-Cook wants his World Record back
This week on the pod we’ve got the Olympic Champion in the 200 Breaststroke, Zac Stubblety-Cook!
Zac, at 24 years old, is a grizzled veteran - and you’ll hear that throughout the interview.
He talks about…
losing his World Record to Qin Haiyang from China - the first man to ever sweep all 3 breaststroke events at a World Championships - and how that has helped motivate him
how the next 12 months leading up to the Paris 2024 Olympics are going to be difficult and dull - he will become a hermit
all about his breaststroke kick and how he trains it
how he’s looking for new ways (like riding an assault bike) to train
the impact that Cam McEvoy’s success has had on his resistance training
what the heck is wrong with Australian breaststroke
his relationship with Vince Raleigh and how it has evolved over the last 7 years
the need to improve his 100 Breaststroke
defending his Olympic title next year in Paris
And much, much more. Listen here on Apple Podcasts. Enjoy!
