If you think he was facing depression at that time, and still he managed to make such a brilliant performance.. i truly admire this man.. such an inspiration

Once Ian Thorpe starts kicking in the last 25, it's truly game over. You're not catching him. One of the few greats that had the hype put on him and he delivered.

Thorpe here in 2000 is still faster than what they swim 400m in Rio 16 years later... and he retired so early into he's career who knows how quick he could of done if he's motivation from the sport didn't wane.

Alas all nations have golden periods and then the supply runs out at some stage. In fiarness Australia has a small population compared to say China, USA, or even France, Germany and UK say, so they are going to up against it on numbers alone. Normally they punch well above their weight from that perspective.
