- National swimmer Joseph Schooling will reunite with former coach and mentor Sergio Lopez in a bid to regain his mojo and retain his gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
Looking leaner and more toned, the Singaporean spoke candidly about dealing with recent criticisms about his weight and why he is heading to the United States to train under Lopez.

![[FULL Q&A] Schooling on his retirement: It’s my turn to be a normal guy](/img/n.gif)
The fact that he is so strong mentally already put himself above the people firing at him. They are so petty, the comment makes no harm to him.
I guess this is a beautiful example of drawing a clear line of difference between "do something big and be proud" and "make noises and yet empty".
HAHAH TODAY COMENTATOR SAY LIAO
Before talking about what Joseph can do, remember he already done it
he hasn't defeated Dressel has he? gotten his ass whooped.
@@flash012234
Your comment is mean and rig with envy🤨
@@flash012234 he has nothing to proof, he has defeated the greatest swimmer of all time .
let's draw a line - nobody is deleting or erasing his past achievements ... they are critiquing on his current performance. And they have a reason to do so ... age 26 is prime for a swimmer (and many other sports)
@UCertASKVRInQMhB08J3CgSw thats the past u fucking idiot!
I don't know what all this fuss is about. U win some, u lose some. That's sports. That's life. He already has the Olympic Gold and get this - the Olympic record. Frankly, it's hard getting any better than that. So, really, why do people still wanna harp on this Olympics?
Supporting you and SG team, always...
We thank you 🙏 for attaining the 1st Olympic gold medal for Singapore 🇸🇬
💖 🇸🇬
We are still proud of you! You did well!
Stop hating on JS he did his best!!
Just leave him alone . He knows what to do after this experience.
Singaporean proud of schooling,no one in Singapore can do better him to get Olympics gold in 2016,his Olympics he has lose , Singaporean should proud of him because he still take part for Singapore has done his best,even lose or win, l still think u are greatest hero in Singapore.
Legend says he swam a 48 in practice after these comments
What’s the best fuss over weight gain…. The excess weight will be lost after he does his national service!
He is still a winner!! Why singaporeans have to be so catty with their remarks? Honestly yall are embarassing
He look friendly and he already try his best and in the world human live no one never mistake just a little excited then mistake we love u : have a wonderful days
Just do your best and never regret
You were a gold medal thru yr family efforts. Great parents you hv.
and his own effort too! :)
2020 Olympics good learning experience. If Schooling steps up to challenge, he will have future success. We already know what he is capable of.
Looking good Joe...👍👍👍
He is very handsome, hot, sexy and smart as a Singaporean Swimmer and very popular in Indonesia.
Schooling loses it all !!!!
I dont understand why would one value someone else based on the look. Look is a genetic lottery!
Did you guys noticed he was swimming in lane 8 for his butterfly heats? That's the lane @the extreme end, that was already a clear indication something wasn't right. All the favourites swim in the middle lanes!
Why do people have a lot to say about others? stop hurting people feelings!
You are right I hate ppl still complain to him he already dones his good job
Please bring back another gold medal from Tokyo...cheers
no olympics this year :(
Yeah
lmao i like how this is 1 year later and he got forth
Oof...he got 8th in heat5... Rlly sad...
Cannot already ...peak over for our dear only Olympic gold boy...
this aged well
I don't understand why this aged badly to you. We should support our athletes regardless, and he won our first gold medal. So, yes, sarcasm aside, this aged well.
Joseph ftw!!!
if u don't want to get bothered theres 3 ways:
1. lose weight
2. stop looking at these comments
3. retire from swimming then nobody gives a shit
I am surprised these comments didn't make him want to prove the audience wrong and give it his best shot
He used to be good, full stop. Don't have to make a fuss over his performance
We all kind of expect the result the moment he left University of Texas and stop focusing on training
Besides that, I don't even think he will stand any chance against Caeleb Dressel and Kristóf Milák even he is at his best shape considering how much Dressel improved from 2016 to 2020
A person is celebrated for their most recent achievements. This is very unfortunate.
@Lee Choon hoe What do you mean? lol you agree with me?
All the way Joseph!
Schooling is PISSED
great motivation schooling
He seemed more motivated to beat Conger than win a gold medal. He needs a rival which reminds me, Dressel said he was "fat and slow."
Where/when did dressel say this
I don't think dressel will ever such things. Plus, schooling is he's childhood teammate, friend, and rival. Dressel is the kind of guy who respects his friends and rivals.
He's basically saying life in SG sucks and people here are boring only talking about swimming 😂
Damn this guy might pop off when he comes back
Why would the weight gain comments bother you if u are comfortable with it?
Not too late,
Oh sure , coming Olympics...
He knew the competition, he knew they were coming up after him. Probably if he had been swimming sub 49’s and then the olympics hit him with 3rd to 4th place in the finals, then that’s alright. But this dude literally swam last in his heat!!! He gave up, he lost his hunger. He did not train the way he did for Rio for the past 5 years and it shows. If he really wanted to win, he would block out everyone, haters or fans, and he would focus on himself. But instead he’s letting the gold get to his head and out on advertisements and basking in the glory as a “hero”. A hero does something out of the reason that he/she doesn’t expect recognition. 2016 Schooling was a hero who loved his sport and trained to win, he didn’t let anyone get to his head, but after that, he changed and it clearly shows through all the previous races after 2016.
It ok what he get the gold medal already. The rest is just exercise.
if only everyone can laugh it off like jj olatunji
Go joseph
As expected
Only history....
Huh. He doesn't have a strong Singaporean accent.
🥰
More concerned about his height though. Why did he lie? No way he is 184cm tall, no way. When he stood beside Lee Hsien Loong, he was clearly shorter than him, about 5cm shorter. (FYI, Lee Hsien Loong is listed 183cm tall). For Schooling, it's arguable 179cm is really the most I'd go with. Above 180cm? I would totally rule it out, it is too high and hugely inflated. Seriously, I really appreciate it if athletes and sportsman are honest about their height, and also claiming a reasonable figure.
maybe he measured wrong, cause honestly, I’ve had my height taken in school and the first time I took it, it was 155cm, but the next time I took it, it was 153cm.
Does it even matter bro? 😂 6 feet or not, he is an Olympic gold winner
He didn’t look that much shorter than phelps who was 6’4 at the podium. Most presidents wear insoles too boost their presence as a leader when going to meets. An example is our ex president donald trump
I met him irl before, I’m about 1.8m and he is slightly taller than I am maybe 1.82m
It's true but Sometimes the politics use platform shoes
Hope he study some engineering. Or medical or some skills in the future for education. Then let remember him as man can play sports and contribution to Sg
Handsome lad!
Fat also still get gold in ASEAN games? LEGEND!
See title bro. Not cool la
Unfortunately, he is too large to be a swimmer. People told him about his weight but he wouldnt listen
Dude, maybe swimming isn't your thing. In most cases, the sport was chosen by the parents at a young age. Perhaps he doesnt even enjoy the sport. But that was the worst performance Ive ever seen at the Olympics :(
26 years old. You ask a common man go swim at the same speed.
and now he has place last in his heat lol.. from 1st place in 2016, to 44th out of 55 now.. yikes
Çomplacency sets in, Consistency disappears! After winning the 2016 Rio Olympic gold, schooling became proud, rested on his laurels, did not keep fit and practise, eat too much, became lethargic, grew fat n gained weight, to His own detriment and lost His competitive edge. Therefore, he now is unable to produce his gold winning streak in Swimming anymore. He failed to make the semi-final stage, finishing badly at 6th. What a far cry from the rest of his previous losing competitors! Shameful! The saying of "Pride goes before a fall" proved very true! Get out of your schooling and into graduation mode! Don't be dogged by the schooling taboo!
He was last! In the heats! That's not even in the semis! I hope he kick himself hard after this. We expected so much from him
It’s not even the expectations that others set on him, but rather he should have focused on himself. But he keeps lying and lying and covering the fact that he was getting lazier and complacent
Young man, come back and do your NS first.
Wrong sir . Winning gold for Singapore is serving Singapore better than going NS
@@darkknight6801 utter nonsense.
@@rockyroll4021 then why don’t you win a gold medal for Singapore . Talk is cheap .
@@rockyroll4021 winning gold is way greater than simply serving NS for 2 year, cos these athletes prepare their whole lives to represent Singapore on the world stage
@@darkknight6801 how would Singapore benefit over a metal piece when suicide rates are high, lockdowns are daily affairs, school violence on the rise, dengue death multiplied? How realistic is it for the majority of young people to aim for the Olympics when it is more practical for them to keep their mental health and look out for their poorer neighbours. Be real. Sports is a NON ESSENTIAL ACTIVITY enjoyed by and designed for the elite . It must be put on the back burner during a pandemic. To do otherwise is blatant irresponsibility of the athletes and those who support it. There is a time and place for everything. Message to JS, come back to perform your dues. Be a man, do your fairshare of NS. Be fair to your fellow country men. Be bold. BTW, don't bring home the virus from Tokyo. Already there's more than 100 infected athletes there. As Biden always says: " I'm not joking, really I mean it really,.. heres the deal...." Hope you listen to Biden at least.
