He is going to be hosting all of the Major Comps and fronting the Content for World Aquatics, including the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in less than a month!John grew up in Australia, and began his career in London when he was scouted on the street to be one of those famous Abercrombie models. But his career soon widened into hosting. His time as the face of international swimming began in 2016 when he stepped in at the last minute to host the European Aquatics Championships at the London Aquatic Centre.He has continued on to host the biggest events in the world for Eurosport, BBC Sport, Channel 5 and FINA TV including, the European Championships, World Championships, Commonwealth Games, and Diving World Series. He is also a fierce CrossFit athlete himself, and an advocate for LGBTQI visibility and human rights. John is a radiant light who elecrifies a crowd and generously makes everyone he interviews feel like they are the only person in the world. I've been lucky enough to be an athlete in and attend events he was hosting (not the Olympics) and he has that magic touch of making an event feel like the most exciting party you could be part of.MentionedWorld Acquatics at the OlympicsJohn Bailey - Producer Summer McIntosh - CanadianKaylee McKeown- AustralianAdam Peaty - BritishCreator's Cafe with Jessica Payne of Kika LabsHost Jessica Payne of Kika Labs breaks down the subtle and the sublime of the creative process with inspiring artists at the Creator's Cafe.
