The Olympic swimmer said he 'felt betrayed by my own body' after cancer diagnosis
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREFor the first time in forever, Nathan Adrian truly has no idea if he'll have a strong swim Friday. And at this point, it doesn't really matter to the five-time Olympic gold medalist. He's simply elated to be back.
Adrian said he started physical therapy immediately after his second surgery. Not allowed to carry more than 15 pounds for weeks after his procedure, he was doing things like lifting a can of soup over his head. At 6-foot-6, he also estimated he lost 10 to 15 pounds, dropping down to about 215 before eventually gaining it all back.
He laughed at the idea that he has his pre-surgery power off the blocks, or that his strength with each stroke is back. But he's progressing and is obviously in good enough shape to compete. It’s go time!!! The picture doesn’t show it but I am stoked to finally race again this weekend in Bloomington! pic.twitter.com/5Yns8l6oE4
