  • We see Simon Cowell in a horse related incident, is Jan Olbrecht a wizard and TWF preps for Setti Colli (AGAIN!)
    Jun 25 2025

    This week on The Weekly Freestyle, things get a little wild (and slightly horse-related). We kick off with the bizarre tale of Simon Cowell nearly getting run over by a horse — yes, really — and wonder if that’s the universe telling him something.

    Then we ask the big question: is Jan Olbrecht, the legendary swimming stats guru, actually a wizard in disguise? 🧙‍♂️ We break down the myth, the science, and the spreadsheets.

    Tom takes us on a chaotic journey through Gatwick Airport, while I put his Italian to the test ahead of his weekend races at the iconic Sette Colli International Meet in Rome 🇮🇹. How’s his vocab holding up under pressure? Let’s just say… mamma mia.

    From elite meets to equestrian near-misses — it’s all happening on this week’s Freestyle. Tune in, laugh a little, and swim on.
