‘I don’t want to do this all my life and 21 is old for a swimmer’ – Ellie Simmonds on hanging it all up
So turns out if you are over 21 in the swimming world you are basically knackered and old!
That’s one of the most depressing things we’ve ever heard. So Scott and Chris look to the future and try to get Ellie a job at Radio 1 when she retires, her response ‘You just get to chat all day – that’s pretty lucky!’. Ermm woah, steady on there, not quite… there’s actually a lot more to it… like buttons, buttons for music, buttons for something else and there’s all the talking to famouses and that… just loads of stuff alright?!!
This hasn't been very inspirational at all.
