The 21-year-old made his intentions clear by setting the Games record at the distance with a blistering first 47.09sec first leg for Australia’s victorious men’s 4x100m freestyle team on their opening day.
Of course, he had an Olympic Games gold medal and another two silvers to his credit at the distance.
