Zac Stubblety-Cook is a powerhouse for the Austraian Dolphins swimming team, renowned as the first male athlete since Grant Hackett to hold the major titles of Olympic champion, Commonwealth Games champion, World champion, and World-Record holder, in the same event at the same time – a truly remarkable achievement.
Making his swimming debut as a breaststroker at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, Zac would go on to win his first medal at the 2018 Pan Pacific Championships in Tokyo. His Olympic debut would come at the 2020 Tokyo Games where he won gold in the 200m breaststroke at a blistering Olympic-record time, and a bronze in the 4x100m medley relay. In 2022, Zac became World champion and set a new World-Record time of 2:05:95 in the 200m breaststroke. Later that year, Zac secured two gold medals and two silver medals at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.
In recognition of his outstanding achievements, Zac has been fortunate enough to have been awarded the prestigious Medal of the Order of Australia at the 2022 Australia Day Honors.
Now, building off his remarkable performances in the pool, Zac is focused on retaining his position as one of the world’s greatest swimmers at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
