ADELAIDE, Australia Pop singer Cody Simpson finished last in the 100-meter butterfly final at the Australian Olympic swimming trials on Thursday, but he was trying to focus on the bigger picture.

Hes not going to Tokyo but says making the final was still a victory.

To be in that final, that is my achievement for this year, that is my gold medal at least for 2021, Simpson said. I didnt expect to be remotely competitive until 2022-23 at the earliest.
