Actually, Hoogie - as he was nicknamed in the good (g)old days when he thrilled the world with Thorpie - hasn't hit a racing pool in years. He belongs to that group of retired swimmers who never go to a pool for a session-like swim. Perhaps it was too much in the past. "This doesn't mean I hate the water. No, my love for it never ceased, its touch still feels great. whenever I swim during holidays, mostly in the sea, together with the family: chose are the only occasions I swim but I enjoy it very much." After he called it a day - having made the Olympic 100m final for the fourth time at the 2008 Beijing Games - he stayed on for another year in the pool: he trained to maintain his shape but after a while he thought he'd better buy a bike and since then cycling has been his main tool for staying fit, (It works!)
