  In May last year, Olympian Sam Williamson was watching the Australian trials from his couch. Following a devastating injury that left him unable to walk, he was unsure if his time in the sport was over. Just over a year later, he returned from the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games as one of the standout athletes of the meet, with four gold medals, two Commonwealth records and a story that captured headlines around the world.

  The 28-year-old Melbourne based breaststroke specialist claimed gold in the 50m and 100m breaststroke, before helping Australia to further gold in the 4x100m mixed medley relay and the 4x100m men's medley relay — a haul that takes his career Commonwealth Games gold medal tally to five, and cements his place among the sport's elite.
