Jon Sieben in Conversation with Ian Thorpe: Masters of the Pool

Jon Sieben: Hey Ian, it’s fantastic to catch up with you. Seems like a lot has changed since we were both making waves in the pool, huh?

Ian Thorpe: Absolutely, Jon! The advancements in technology, training techniques, and even swimsuits are mind-blowing. But let’s not forget – you set the stage for many of us younger swimmers when you outdid everyone at the ’84 Olympics!

Jon Sieben: Oh, I remember that race like it was yesterday. That feeling of touching the wall and realizing I’d set a new world record in the 200m butterfly was unreal. But Ian, you’ve had your fair share of spectacular moments too. What was it like winning five Olympic golds?

Ian Thorpe: Winning those medals was incredible, of course, but each race brought its own unique thrill. It’s the culmination of years of hard work and those split-second decisions that make or break a race. Speaking of hard work, how are you keeping up with the swimming world these days?

Jon Sieben: Well, I’ve been focusing more on coaching and mentoring the new generation of swimmers. It’s amazing to see how much potential there is. How about you, Ian? What’s keeping you busy?

Ian Thorpe: I’ve been diving into a bit of everything – from advocating for mental health to dabbling in media commentary. You know, giving back to the sport and to the community has been incredibly fulfilling. But I must ask, any standout prodigies you’ve been coaching that we should keep our eyes on?

Jon Sieben: There are a few young swimmers who remind me of us back in the day – all grit and determination. I can’t spill too many secrets yet, but let’s just say that the future of Australian swimming looks bright!

Ian Thorpe: That’s exciting to hear. It’s always a rush to watch the next generation push the boundaries. Maybe one day, they’ll be sitting here having a chat about their triumphs while reminiscing about our crazy swims!

Jon Sieben: No doubt, mate. Here’s to the new legends in the making and the legacy of swimming in Australia. It’s been great catching up, and who knows, maybe we’ll have another race someday – just for old times’ sake!

Ian Thorpe: I wouldn’t miss it for the world, Jon. Cheers!
