Off The Blocks with David Clark - Miracles, Milestones and Mollie O

Welcome back to Off The Blocks Swimming Podcast as we kick off Season 6 with a bang, as this week we talk to Channel 9's Swimming Stats Guru David Clark about all things 2023 Fukuoka World Champs. David is a fan favourite on The Shannon Rollason Podcast and this week he joins me following his successful coverage with fellow broadcasters Matthew Thompson, and Aussie Swimming Legends Ian Thorpe and Giaan Rooney in the commentary booth. David is the man behind all of the incredible statistics you hear the commentators mention through out the coverage, and this week he brings knowledge of swimming history to Off The Blocks. David and I discuss all of the amazing milestones and records that tumbled during the week of the world champs, including Leon Marchand's historic 400 IM, Mollie O'Callaghan's massive championships, the Australian Woman dominating the pool, and Dean Boxall's incredible coaching performance. We also take you through Katie Ledecky's milestones, Qin Haiyang's domination of Men's Breaststroke, Sarah Sjostrom and Ruta Meilutyte's blistering World Records, Cam McEvoy, Giaans Macadamia farm and so much more.   If you're a swimming fan and historian you are going to love this weeks chat, who is Chesney Watson you may ask? you'll have to listen and find out haha
