NEW TRAINING BASE
In January 2021 he moved to Kazan, Russian Federation, to train at the International Swimming Federation [FINA] Development Centre. "Coming to Kazan I was slightly nervous because it was such a huge change for me. But now as the days go by, I feel increasingly confident that I've made the right decision. I have high expectations for my time in Kazan, my goal is to train as hard as possible, to push my body to the limit every day. COVID stopped me from achieving a lot last year, so this year it will be my revenge season where I will look to redeem myself as an athlete." (fina-development.com, 11 Jan 2021)
