The missed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/2012-london-olympics-usas-nathan-adrian-clips-james-magnussen-for-100-free-gold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the top step on the podium by .01 seconds<\/a>, thank to the swim of <strong>Nathan Adrian\u2019s<\/strong> life.<\/p>\n<p>With nine years of hindsight, Magnussen is not just OK with that but grateful for the direction that missing out on gold has taken his life.<\/p>\n<p>Magnussen admitted that winning silver instead of gold had a \u201cprofoundly positive effect\u201d on him, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sen.com.au\/news\/2022\/06\/29\/why-magnussen-is-appreciative-of-losing-out-on-olympic-gold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a recent radio interview with SEN 1170 in Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think my life was headed in a certain direction at 20 years of age,\u201d says Magnussen, now retired at age 31. \u201cI had all this publicity, all this press and everyone was pumping my wheels. It affected me in a negative way and I look back and I was headed down a path that would have been less than desirable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt humbled me a lot and that gave me a really different perspective on life, the media and how people were treating me. I had a lot of \u2018yes\u2019 people in my life and around. It had a profoundly positive effect on my life not only in swimming but certainly in my life after sport. I\u2019m appreciative of what that moment did for me and the path it set me on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Magnussen did walk away with silver and added bronze later in the meet in the 400 free relay. He did not qualify for the 100 free at the Rio Olympics \u2013 such is the depth of the Australian team, with young guns <strong>Kyle Chalmers<\/strong> and <strong>Cameron McEvoy<\/strong> usurping him. But he did win another bronze in Rio in the relay.<\/p>\n<p>Magnussen had plenty of success outside of the Olympic water. He won gold in the men\u2019s 100 free at the 2011 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/james-magnussen-defends-100-free-title-against-loaded-field\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2013 World Championships<\/a> plus three relay medals. He won gold in the 100 free at consecutive Commonwealth Games in 2010 and 2014, and added relay gold as late as 2018. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/james-magnussen-officially-retires-from-swimming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">He retired in 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Success doesn\u2019t guarantee happiness, as that race indicates well. The bronze medalist, Canadian <strong>Brent Hayden,<\/strong> retired immediately after what was on paper the best accomplishment of his career, and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/for-brent-hayden-comeback-is-about-falling-in-love-with-swimming-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> only a decade later restored his joy in the sport<\/a> with a comeback to race at the 2020 Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Magnussen, too, has taken time to process that race. He\u2019s also achieved a certain peace with the result.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look back on it and I ticked off everything in the swimming world except for that Olympic gold,\u201d he said. \u201cNot everyone gets a fairy tale but all in all, I\u2019m very appreciative of that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sen.com.au\/news\/2022\/06\/29\/why-magnussen-is-appreciative-of-losing-out-on-olympic-gold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Listen to the full interview with James Magnussen on the SEN Breakfast show here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Magnussen Hails \u201cProfoundly Positive Effect\u201d of Missing Out On Gold Australian sprinter James Magnussen entered the 2012 Olympics as the favorite for gold in the men\u2019s 100 freestyle.
