The 23-year-old won bronze in the men's 50m breaststroke at the 2019 World Junior Swimming Championships and has represented Scotland at the Commonwealth Games.
British swimmer Archie Goodburn has revealed he has been diagnosed with incurable brain cancer. The 23-year-old became aware of three large tumours defined as oligodendrogliomas - a rare form of diffuse and progressive brain cancer - which are inoperable, after tests conducted following this year's Olympic trials. He has previously won bronze in the men's 50m breaststroke at the 2019 World Junior Swimming Championships and represented Scotland at the Commonwealth Games.
'I was determined on achieving my dreams, so I continued to train on through the seizures. 'I narrowly missed the Olympic team by just a few tenths of a second, placing third in an event with only two spots. 'With the trials behind me, I dug deeper into what was really causing these attacks. 'An MRI in May finally revealed what I'd begun to fear the most.
