OLYMPIC EXCITEMENT
He says he is more excited than nervous to compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "I think it's more excitement and anticipation than nerves because I've swam at two World Championships and at decently large meets, so I've swam against world-level competition before. But the Olympics is obviously the pinnacle of sports for something like swimming, but I mean there's no expectations. It's just go out there, compete, and enjoy the moment." He says he does not consider himself a medal hopeful, but hopes to swim his fastest times. "I'm excited to go and race the best in the world, give it all I have and just have fun racing. I swam fast earlier this year [2021] and I just want to go faster than I was in April and I will be extremely happy with that." (thedp.com, 07 Jul 2021; jamaicaobserver.com, 11 Jul 2021)
