Tom Dean overcame two bouts of COVID to win the 200 Freestyle at the Tokyo Olympics beating out compatriot Duncan Scott and Brazil's Fernando Scheffer. He added a 2nd gold as a part of Great Britain's 4x200 Free Relay win.
Tom trains with BFF Jimmy Guy (Episode 83) under Dave McNulty at British Swimming’s National Centre Bath. His age group coach was Paul Lloyd. 
Enjoy!
