With exactly six months to go until the rescheduled Tokyo Olympic Games are due to begin, assuming of course that the current coronavirus complications can be overcome, Tom Dean believes the delay could work in his favour as he seeks to follow in the wake of some celebrated University of Bath-based swimmers.
The fate of the 2021 Olympics still apparently hangs in the balance, but at the same time there must be question marks over the likelihood of the British Championships taking place as planned in April.
Against the backdrop of a pandemic interrupted 12 months, our swimmers of the year have an inevitable sense of deja-vu, as well as a shorter format that usual and an unmistakeable ISL flavour, but here are the pick of the GB crop for 2020.
It was a thrilling conclusion to ISL 2020 as Cali Condors ran out convincing winners in the season finale with the London Roar in a creditable third place. In this season wrap Steve Katie and Bob are joined by Roar general manger Rob Woodhouse to look back at the highs and lows of Budapest and to get some insight into team tactics, recruitment and what we can expect from ISL season 3 in 2021.
After an exciting semi final that saw the Roar book their ISL final place, we’re joined by Adam Peaty and Kira Toussaint who both broke world records in the Duna Arena pool. Olympic champion Kyle Chalmers also joins us from Sydney to give us a Roar From Offshore with his thoughts on events in Budapest.
