On the brink of living out the dream he first chased as a 12-year-old, Cody Simpson has shared one last reflection on the final days of his four-year battle to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympics. The popstar athlete is locked in for three events at this week’s Australian swimming trials — 50m and 100m freestyle, and 100m butterfly.
