I have seen many examples of athletes becoming celebrities and celebrities, but it seems that no singer has ever run to participate in the Olympics! Cody Simpson, a 24-year-old Australian singer and former boyfriend of supermodel Gigi Hadid and Miley Cyrus, proves that it's not too late to chase your dreams!
Although Cody Simpson only opened his popularity when he entered the show business circle, he did not want to compete for the Olympic games on a whim. In addition to his parents being a swimmer, Cody Simpson competed in swimming competitions from an early age and even won the Australian National Championship at the age of 13. However, he later encountered a musical opportunity that he could not refuse, which interrupted his swimming career.
Cody Simpson said that he learned and gained a lot during his time as a singer, but there was always a voice in his heart that he wanted to get back into the swimming world, holding the idea that 2020 was the year I started trying to train again, and under the training of top swimming coach Brett Hawke, it was only five months, and last December Cody Simpson really qualified for the Australian qualifiers (100m butterfly and freestyle)! This result surprised everyone and even he himself was frightened, because he was actually looking at the 2021 Paris Olympic Games. But since there is an opportunity to participate in the 2021 Olympic Games, of course, it cannot be missed.
In the 100m qualifiers on June 15, Cody Simpson arrived in 50.22 seconds, 1.5 seconds shorter than the previous best time, and finished 23rd out of 92 participants, although it was his best personal result but not enough to qualify for the Olympics. However, the 100-meter butterfly is his real specialty.
"I want to do something before the 100m butterfly or I'll be waiting all week." Light is around these athletes. I love the feeling and I've wanted to do it for a long time. My goal in this meeting was to try to swim in the final in the 100m butterfly, and it would be nice if that could be done. I just wish I could keep improving. 」
