Ian Thorpe ætlar at leggja sær nýggj mál innanfyri svimjing.
“I’m still swimming. I hadn’t thought about it very much because I had planned to be swimming on in London, but I think now I’ll probably take a few days off and enjoy the competition and then sit down with a few people, Leigh Nugent and my coach Gennadi (Touretski) and work out what is next, work out what the next preparation will be and what competition will be next.”
