In focus: Olympic Gold Medallist and City2Sea ambassador, Mack Horton

Melbourne born and bred, Mackenzie “Mack” Horton recently shot to fame on the podium at the 2016 Rio Olympics after winning gold in the 400m freestyle swim. With the win, he became the first male swimmer from Victoria to take the title.

We are excited to have Mack as one of the ambassadors for the upcoming Sunday Age City2Sea presented by Westpac. Exclusively for subscribers, we took some time with him and got his thoughts on preparing for the run.


It’s such an incredible achievement. Has life changed since that moment?
Mack Horton: Life has changed in the way that people see me. But for me personally nothing has changed, I’m still the same Mack doing the same thing.
