I wanted him to win the double crown in Sydney 2000 - 50 and 100 free, because he won the double at both Barcelona and Atlanta.
He didn't swim well in Sydney, 1 bronze medal I think is all he won, but then at the Barcelona World Champs a few years ago, Alex did it again, winning the 50 and 100 free from Hoogie.
I thought he could do it, but
- it actually hurt watching him swim in Athens.
He has at least 1 child, maybe 2 by now, and he will take up a coaching role somewhere in swimming, I am sure - so he has plenty to keep him busy in his after life
