SK173 Finlay Knox

Canadian World Champion Finlay Knox! In this episode, we unpack Finlay's incredible journey to becoming a Pan Am and World Champion in the 200 Individual Medley, all while discussing the impact of his move to Vancouver and training under Scott Talbot.

Finlay gives us his first hand take on his world championship win from lane 7, where he surged past pre-race favorites Shaine Casas and Carson Foster. Given his back half strengths, we of course discuss the nuances of swimming a 200 IM and debunk the myth – do you really need to be a breaststroker to master the IM?

Finlay opens up about his unconventional decision not to swim in college, shedding light on the merits of the Canadian USports system. He also shares about his plan leading up to the Paris 2024 Olympics and the idea behind the world of "FIN," his personal brand, and the significance of creating one's own identity in sport.
