Kyle Chalmers has revealed taking to the pool after calling out 'false' media coverage of his relationships within the Australian swimming team was 'one of the biggest challenges I’ve had to face'. B2022 7NEWS
“It’s probably one of the biggest challenges I’ve had to face.
“I’ve been so excited for this moment for such a long period of time and been working hard to be here for such a long time. For how it’s unfolded, yeah, definitely makes me question my future in the sport.” But some tabloid reports centred on Chalmers, painted as a jilted lover, supposedly ignoring McKeon in post-race celebrations.After winning gold as part of Australia’s men’s 4x100m freestyle team on Saturday, Chalmers was more scathing on Instagram, saying the media coverage had ruined his experience in Birmingham.Kyle Chalmers insists he did not snub Emma McKeon after their relay gold. “I didn’t enter the sport to have to deal with something like that,” he told Channel 7.
“As much as this morning I just wanted to put my headphones in and switch off and not talk, all of my teammates, coaches and staff coming up and saying they are there for me has been really special,” he said.“As much as the media want to make up, there is conflict on the team, there is zero, we’re such a tight team, as you know, we’ve been away for such a long time now we are like brothers and sisters. I enjoy being part of the team.
