Who is this Ian Thorpe bloke?
Ian Thorpe is an Australian swimming icon who needs no introduction to most of us over 30s. And a lot of the youngsters will know him from his excellent commentary stints on Olympic broadcasts. Some of the youngsters may not know why us adults are quite so excited about Ian joining us pool side this weekend. So, to help get them up to speed (and to relive some amazing memories) find below a bunch of clips of Ian’s feats.
