Ian Thorpe to Mark Return -2012 London Olympics Latest Update

Five time Olympic Champion has recently made announcements regarding his return to swimming for the upcoming 2012 London Olympics. From the past two months, he is working hard with Touretski in Switzerland.

During the last week held Royal Wedding, 28 year old Thorpe was a guest. He lost lots of weight and was looking very slim. In accordance with FINA rules, Thorpe cannot compete until November. Touretski stated, “I think in November he will come back to racing activity," Touretski said. "I believe we will start with the World Cup race in Singapore [Nov 4].”

61 year old Touretski has coached swimmers with accrediting 40 world records throughout his career. He also said, “He is in a good stage because his approach is positive. He is also very creative. I never communicated with him very close [in the past] but I realise how bright he is.”

Touretski said, “He must do different things with his technical preparation and this of course depends on his physical ability. But at his age ... he is stronger now than before and that is encouraging for the future. When it comes to his fitness levels, we followed a very simple structure. Of course, he has lost weight, but Ian is now the same he was at the (Sydney) Olympics in 2000. To me, he looks brilliant, but I don't want the emphasis on him losing weight but more on what he is going to do after.”
