Recharged: How the particles are aligning for sprint ace Cam McEvoy


READ MORE

After the Commonwealth Games, where he finished fourth in the final of his pet 100m freestyle, McEvoy knew changes had to be made. He wasn’t swimming terribly but the reality had dawned that he was no longer the athlete that sent the aquatic world into a spin when he almost crashed through the 47s mark in a regulation suit.

Clinical and introspective by nature, McEvoy was plugging in all the right information at training but the answers were all wrong. While the Australian team was enjoying a strong Pan Pacs meet in Tokyo earlier in the month, McEvoy was back home on the Gold Coast, resetting and retuning in his new training surrounds.


“I’m starting to feel more like I did pre-Rio. It’s hard to explain … the little aspects of training and swimming, I’d lost it a bit,” McEvoy says. “Kick work, for example, I’d always been really good at that. Then suddenly, it wasn’t as fluid and working in its normal way, which was really weird. Since the move, it’s just naturally started to come back.”


McEvoy was a source of fascination ahead of the Rio Olympics, drawing national and international curiosity for his love of physics and science as much as his lightning swims. He seemed to spend as much time speaking about gravitational waves as he did making watery ones in training.

READ MORE Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print World Cup fever has crossed platforms. There was Harry Kane sneaking into India’s training sessions to meet Virat Kohli. And now there’s the All Blacks picking a XV made up of past and present cricketers. With the @cricketworldcup underway in England, we’ve taken a look at all the best players from past and present to select the ultimate Cricket XV! SQUAD NOTES https://t.co/B3rnj5OBuJ #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/KuUtPU77PT — All Blacks (@AllBlacks) June 2, 2019 And they’ve got some pretty cool reasons for picking some pretty cool players. Curtly Ambrose : If anyone wants to argue with this selection then take it up with Sir Curtly himself. We dare you. MS Dhoni : The Richie McCaw of Cricket. Enough said. Dwayne Leverock : Famous for his one-handed catch at the 2003 World Cup, the 130kg Bermudian would surely make just as big a splash on the rugby field. Jofra Archer runs in to bowl  Get...

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is on the rise, but not everyone is convinced

Image
READ MORE I can remember about 10 years ago going to a Cosmetex cosmetic surgery conference in Sydney where a doctor gave a demonstration, injecting the filler Restylane (a form of hyaluronic acid ) into a hooked nose; the de-bumping results were really impressive, and it only took 15 minutes. Since then there has been a steady rise in the use of nose fillers: also referred to as the non surgical nose job. Now, I have had the full-blown open rhinoplasty surgical version so am keen to drill down (pardon the pun) and find out more about the ins and outs of the “liquid nose job”. “Liquid nose jobs” are on the rise. Photo: Shutterstock Shereene Idriss a clinical instructor in dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and a cosmetic dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York City, has lots to say on her #pillowtalkderm about the pitfalls of the liquid nose job. “Liquid rhinoplasty, as seen on social media, appears to be t...

Tens of thousands protest Trump's immigration laws in 700 cities

READ MORE Tens of thousands of demonstrators, baking in the heat and boiling mad at US immigration policy, marched across the country Saturday to protest the separation of families under President Donald Trump’s hardline agenda. Directly across from the White House, demonstrators filled Lafayette Square park in an atmosphere of both indignation and sadness, before marching toward the Capitol. “We don’t believe in borders, we don’t believe in walls,” Sebastian Medina-Tayac, of the Piscataway Indian Nation, declared in English and Spanish at the start of the rally dubbed “Families Belong Together.” Loudspeakers broadcast the cries of a child split from its relatives, as a Brazilian mother told of being separated from her own son. “I missed nine months of his life and it should never have happened,” said the woman, Jocelyn, whose case dates from before the practice of separating families intensified in May. “Shame! Shame!” ...
