Tasmanian swimmer Max Giuliani has won a bronze medal in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay at the Paris Olympics.
The 21-year-old from Carlton, just out of Hobart, swam for Australia in the final, helping the team to a time of 7:01.98.
Great Britain won the gold medal in 6:59.43, while the United States took silver in 7:00.78.
Giuliani’s medal comes after he finished seventh in the men’s 200m freestyle on Tuesday.
After that race, Giuliani gave a ‘special message’ to Tasmania.
“Thank you everyone for the support, it’s absolutely unbelievable,” he told Nine.
“And if you believe in yourself and work your ass off you can do anything.”
The Olympian also posted a picture with his medal to social media, saying it was “For Tassie”.
In December 2023, Giuliani became the second-fastest Australian of all time to swim the 200-metre freestyle.
