Description

Geoff Huegill, affectionately known as 'Skippy', is the embodiment of resilience and determination. With a staggering 72 international swimming medals, including 8 world records, his athletic prowess is legendary. However, it's his monumental comeback that's truly awe-inspiring. After the Athens Olympics 2004, Geoff's weight challenges seemed to set his fate. But, defying expectations, he reclaimed his health, shedding a jaw-dropping 49kg! This transformation led him to swim a 51.9-second 100m butterfly, making him the second-fastest globally, right behind the iconic Michael Phelps. Dive into this riveting episode as Geoff opens up about the personal battles that shaped his resurgence.
