An Australian Olympic swim coach is under fire after openly declaring he wants a Korean athlete to win a race at Paris 2024 that includes two Aussies. Dolphins coach Michael Palfrey is employed by Swimming Australia but has a close relationship with a number of Korean swimmers who have also trained under him, including world champion Kim Woo-min.
We need Woo-min to lift, that’s what I’ll be saying to him. He’s got to race tough.” Palfrey is one of eight Australian Dolphins coaches, and directly looks after Zac Incerti, Abbey Connor and Alex Perkins. South Korean swimmers Kim, Lee Yoo-yeon Yang Jae-hoon, Lee Ho-joon and Hwang Sun-woo have all travelled to Queensland to train under Palfrey in the past, with the blessing of Swimming Australia. Palfrey said he had high hopes for all three of Kim, Short and Winnington.
