He is! Richard used to be a good swimmer at juniors level but had a hard time to break through in adult meets. He almost gave up swimming completely and only returned to the pool to help Milak prepare for the Olympics. They are good friends and training partners. Milak is obviously very happy for him.
@@kristofmilakupdates To understand, there are two people next to Milak, and they have to only swim next to Milak, they are boosting him day by day. So the word records, the gold medals, not only Milak’s merit. They bring out the best from Milak.
