The former Maidenhead Marlin travelled to Tokyo hoping, but not necessarily expecting to win medals, however, he returned to a hero’s welcome on the banks of the river Thames having scooped double Olympic gold in the 200m freestyle and 200m freestyle relay. “The depth we have in the 200m freestyle is unparalleled by any other country in the world,” he said. “It’s the blue ribboned race of British swimming and everyone wants a piece of that action at summer competitions. “A year after an Olympics is a chance to try new things and that’s exactly what I’m going to be doing. I’m not 100 per cent on what I’m going to be doing yet, but we’ll be aggressive in our approach to broadening the number of medals I could possibly get.”
