with regard to Michael paly and his comments of support to the Korean athlete Kim Wu Min this is a conflict and a serious error of judgment any decision that we make two days out from the start of the Dolphins campaign needs to have the athletes in the conversation swimming Australia head coach Rowan Taylor will be having those conversations after training finishes today in order not to disrupt the athlet schedule and to allow those athletes the ability to focus on what they came here to do how did you feel when you heard a surprise and a shock and my first thoughts went to the athletes um and the welfare of the athletes and um what I can say is the collaboration that I've been able to have with swimming Australia has been really positive um great conversation and we're working uh closely together to find a resolution that best fits for the athletes at the moment Rowan and I did meet and speak with Michael um and he understands the impact of his comments and his decisions any decision we make will be based on minimizing the disruption to the athletes from a high performance environment perspective well-being and will be led by swimming Australia head coach head Rowan Taylor
