In the midst of the 2024 World Cup season, we check in with the voice of the World Cup himself, broadcaster and former World Record holder Bobby Hurley. Bobby has commentated for the last 7 World Championships as well as myriad other swimming events such as the World Cup. As a swimmer, Bobby Hurley racked up a list of accolades. A World Champion and World Record Holder, Hurley represented Australia from 2008-2017, becoming one of the world's most versatile swimmers. He won 24 national titles in events ranging from the 50m Backstroke all the way up to the 1500m Freestyle, a rare combination of aerobic engine and sprint power. Bobby raced at many World Cups himself, but the format and schedule were quite different then. Sadly, the money hasn’t changed much since he swam. In this episode, we get Bobby’s thoughts on the World Cup action so far and how the series could evolve and grow. Enjoy and don't forget to subscribe for weekly podcasts and daily shorts!
