Oliver Morgan Team GB’s Backstroke Star Chasing History - Episode 245

Team GB’s backstroker has arrived, and he’s one of the world’s best. Oliver Morgan has been on a rapid rise the last few years including an assault on the British record in the 100 backstroke and now has won the backstroke treble twice at his country’s championship meet. Only fully committing to swimming around age 18, the now 21 year old recently dropped his best time in the 100 to 52.1, close enough to taste a 51 second performance which few men in history have done. In this episode, we chat with Ollie as he looks ahead to the World Championships this summer and discuss how he trains, what he’s learned from years of cycling and football training before focusing on swimming, how he assimilates into Team GB and the great potential for British medley relays.
