VAN MATHIAS WAS DONE WITH SWIMMING – NOW HE’S THE FASTEST AMERICAN EVER
Two years away from the pool. No training, no competitions, no plans to come back. Then Van Mathias walks into Pan Pacs and breaks American records in the 50 and 100 breaststroke – becoming the fastest American breaststroker in history. He's now up for three Golden Goggle Awards, including Breakout Performer of the Year. But the real shock? How he got here wasn't a comeback story anyone saw coming. The moment that changed everything will leave you speechless.
This comeback story is insane – I had no idea he was out of the sport for two years. Full breakdown is here if you wanna see how he did it: https://geni.us/https-FoxNews
