The world champion has trained with\u00a0<strong>Michael Bohl\u00a0<\/strong>at the St Peters Western club in Brisbane for the last seven years.<\/p>\n<p>At the 2016 Rio Games Larkin finished second in the 200 backstroke and was a member of the bronze medal 4&#215;100 medley relay team. The 23 year old had been expected to be a medal threat in the 100 backstroke, but fell short of the podium.<\/p>\n<p>Larkin revealed that he will try a number of programs over the next few months to ensure that he is finding the best fit. In a statement released today, he explained the reasoning for his decision,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In order to keep motivation at its highest along with excitement within the training environment, I&#8217;ve decided to look at what other programs along with other coaches can offer over the next Olympic cycle.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He thanked Bohl for his dedication, saying,\u00a0&#8220;Michael has done everything for me in my career and I would not be where I am today or achieved what I have achieved without him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bohl also released a statement and expressed his understanding of his swimmer&#8217;s decision. The coach said,\u00a0&#8220;Mitch had been contemplating his swimming for the next four years towards Tokyo (2020 Olympics) and felt he needed to change programs in order to keep stimulated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read more from\u00a0<em>Yahoo Sports\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/au.news.yahoo.com\/thewest\/sport\/a\/32626077\/swim-star-larkin-splits-with-coach\/#page1\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian backstroke sensation\u00a0Mitch Larkin\u00a0is starting a search for a new coach with a different program to lead him through the next Olympic quad.
