[edit]

After fighting off testicular cancer and not being able to swim or lift weights over 15 pounds for some time, Adrian was back to swimming at the 2019 World Aquatics Championships in July 2019 in Gwangju, South Korea.[48] He won a gold medal in the men's 4x100-meter freestyle relay, swimming a 47.08 as the anchoring leg of the USA's relay.[49]

2021

[edit]

2020 US Olympic Trials

[edit]

Adrian entered to swim two individual events at the 2020 US Olympic Trials (postponed to June 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), the 100-meter freestyle and 50-meter freestyle.[52]

On the fourth day of the Olympic Trials, Adrian competed in the prelims of the 100-meter freestyle, ranking 6th of all heats and advancing to the semifinals with a time of 48.37.[53][54] In the semifinals, Adrian swam a 48.92 coming in 13th for both semifinals and not qualifying for the final.[55][56][57]

In the morning prelims of the 50-meter freestyle on day seven of competition, Adrian ranked third with his swim of 21.85 and qualified for the semifinals.[58][59] During the semifinals Adrian lowered his time to a 21.78 and ranked third across both heats. This swim advanced him to the event final the following day.[60][61] Adrian finished third in the final on day eight, not qualifying to swim the 50 meter freestyle at the 2020 Summer Olympics with his time of 21.73.[62][63]

Adrian had hoped to culminate his overcoming testicular cancer journey by competing in his fourth Olympic Games.[64] His swims at the 2020 US Olympic Trials confirmed that his fourth Olympic Games would not be the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.[64][65] While he did not make the 2020 US Olympic Team, Adrian's swims earned him a spot on the 2021–2022 US National Team, marking the 14th time he had achieved a spot on the team.[66][67]

Personal life

[edit]

In May 2017, Adrian became engaged to merchandising director Hallie Ivester after six years of dating.[71] They were married on September 15, 2018, in Rutherford, California[72] and welcomed a daughter on February 9, 2021.[73] In January 2019, Adrian announced on Instagram that he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, for which he underwent surgery.[74]

Trivia

[edit]
Nathan Adrian Drive road sign in Bremerton, Washington

Adrian appeared in episode 5 of the 2009 season of the Discovery Channel series, MythBusters, to assist hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman in testing the myth that it is possible to swim as fast in syrup as in water. His test results however, were declared invalid by Savage and Hyneman, because they determined that Adrian was so used to swimming in water, that his technique was completely disrupted when swimming in the syrup. This disruption caused his lap times when swimming in syrup to vary wildly in comparison with his extremely consistent lap times in water.

In 2014, Adrian was inducted into The Robert Chinn Foundation Asian Hall of Fame.[75][76]
