GWANGJU, South Korea: If the world swimming championships in Gwangju were just a taste of what is to come at the 2020 Olympics, then in the words of recently retired Australian sprinter James Magnussen -"Brace yourselves."
After winning six gold and two silver medals, it would be safe to say Caeleb Dressel will arrive in Tokyo with a huge target on his back. "Looking good for next year and all ready for what comes with a bunch of four lads who are young but gathering experience," said Peaty after the relay."And yeah, I think we are going to smash it."But performances in the pool were overshadowed by events on the podium as simmering anger over world governing body FINA's handling of doping issues boiled over in spectacular fashion.
Two days later, British bronze medallist Duncan Scott would not shake Sun's hand or pose for a group photo with him after his victory in the 200, sparking an angry, aggressive response from the Chinese swimmer on the podium.
