So I was only half-listening to coverage as last night, but that swimmer in Lane 1 of that race who managed to medal

His father is battling cancer and they didn't know if he would be able to make it to Rio to see his son, but he's there.

Hi mother had a double mastectomy and is still undergoing chemo, but she's there too.
