Matti Mattsson who won bronze has quite a story.

Bronze at 2013 Worlds.

Developed alopecia in 2018, lost his hair.

Diagnosed as coeliac in 2019. Changed diet, lost 20kg.

Took 8yrs to get back to his best.

Father of 2 and first Finn to win a breaststroke medal in 101 years 👏🏼 https://t.co/bgt0tcoLRk

My favorite thing about Caeleb Dressel winning gold, is that this little 7 year old who begged to wear two caps in his final race this summer “just like Caeleb does” got to watch his swim hero achieve his dreams today. That means the most. @USASwimming pic.twitter.com/u0JSMqj80j

No meet is perfect. No swim is perfect. I’m learning so much from this Olympics and I am so proud of every one of these athletes. It’s been a hard lead up to the biggest stage in the world. Can we all remember that for a minute? #Tokyo2020
