  • YouTube stardom to the Olympics? Singer Cody Simpson’s unlikely bid to compete at Games

    Teenybopper poster boy Cody Simpson will be among Australia’s top swimmers at next month’s national championships as he hones his 100m butterfly before June’s Olympic trials.

    The junior swimmer turned international singer has taken another key step in his quest to make it in the pool by entering the Australian titles on the Gold Coast, where he will attempt to shave whole seconds from his personal best in his unlikely bid to qualify for the Tokyo Games.

    Simpson, who counts Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe as mentors, dated Miley Cyrus for 12 months and is friends with Justin Bieber. The Gold Coast-born 24-year-old’s path to fame is not dissimilar to Bieber’s, having been discovered on YouTube in 2009 and since toured globally on the back on three solo studio albums titled Paradise, Surfers Paradise, and Free.

    But his 6.9m Twitter followers and 3.9m Instagram followers have only recently been made aware that he was a junior Queensland state champion.

    7-year-old JJ Sousa was swimming in the ocean for the very first time in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, when he was attacked by a shark and was left with a gaping wound on his hand. 20-year-old Bryce Albert was on spring break in Palm Beach when a 6-foot blacktip bit his arm, resulting in nearly 150 stitchers. The attack is the third one this week in Florida. Experts say “one of the world’s largest shark migrations” is happening right now off Florida’s coast.
