Swimming Star Cody Simpson Loses World Championships Spot to Girlfriend’s Ex After Last-Minute Change

The Australian swim team is currently caught in a fix between three of its most prolific swimmers, Cody Simpson, Emma McKeon, and Kyle Chalmers. The stellar three are part of a Hollywood love triangle movie plot of sorts. However, given this isn’t the real world, Cody losing his first-ever FINA world championship entry was quite the reality check for all involved.

From being a renowned singer to making it to the Australian Swim Team, Cody Simpson has a story worth admiring. Though a decision from his girlfriend Emma McKeon’s ex has crushed his hopes to compete in the world championships. However, the Aussie swimmer will be part of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Cody Simpson will not be competing in the world championship

As per reports, Cody was on the team for the world championship as the second qualifier Kyle Chalmers was unavailable because of his busy schedule. But now, for reasons perhaps only known to Kyle, he back-flipped from his decision to drop out of the world championship. This means Cody has to try again next time.

Media houses all around the globe claim that an alleged love triangle involving Cody, Emma, and Kyle has influenced his decision to compete in the world championship after dropping out initially. However, there are no factual reports proving the same.

Cody, too, has denied the rumors about any sort of love triangle and said, “we had the chance to kind of clear the air and he is obviously in his right. He qualified second. So I respect whatever decision he wanted to make, but we are excited to race in Birmingham again.”

Commonwealth Games are still on the table

Though Emma McKeon’s boyfriend Cody might have lost his chance to compete at the world championship, the commonwealth games in Birmingham are still an option. He shared a video of him on his Twitter handle when he made it into the Aussie team for the commonwealth games.

Cody is certainly a deserving candidate for a spot on the Australian Swim Team. Hence, this recent setback will prove to be a huge disappointment for him and his fans. However, given his caliber, it is only a matter of time until he proves his real potential to the world.
