Australian champion Kyle Chalmers has announced he has no plans to quit the Olympics after an epic fightback to win 100m freestyle silver behind a record-setting rival. All the talk leading into the race was that the 26-year-old was in his last individual race at an Olympics , after previously confirming he was not likely to swim on in Los Angeles 2028. But he was inspired to backflip on that plan in his poolside interview following an incredible race won by China’s Pan Zhanle.
” Asked how it felt to finish his individual program on the podium, Chalmers was adamant “this is not my last”. “I’m not retiring any time soon. I think I’ll continue on as long as I possibly can,” he said. “This race does mean a lot to me. It is really special. I’m just lost for words. Coming in, after having three guys having faster PBs than me, staying controlled and calm ... I’m just really, really stoked with that. I don’t know what else to say.
