Flippers (Youth) Squads across Victoria and Tasmania, providing direction and support to the Pathway Managers at Swimming Victoria and Swimming Tasmania.<\/p>\n<p>It will be a welcome appointment for one of Australia\u2019s most respected coaches \u2013 with a wealth of knowledge in coaching at the very highest level \u2013 who took over Thorpe\u2019s career after he split from long time coach\u00a0<strong>Doug Frost<\/strong> post the 2002 Commonwealth Games and Pan Pacs.<\/p>\n<p>And not only did Menzies-Stegbauer coach Thorpe to successful 200 and 400m freestyle World Championship defences in Barcelona in 2003 but also navigated him through the dramatic circumstances that saw the 2000 Olympic star disqualified from the 400m freestyle heat and was subsequently disqualified at the 2004 Australian Olympic Trials<\/p>\n<p>Before he sensationally won the event in Athens after long-time training partner and teammate <strong>Craig Stevens<\/strong> withdrew to allow the 2000 Olympic champion the chance to defend his title.<\/p>\n<p>In typical Thorpe fashion, he captured the gold from teammate <strong>Grant Hackett<\/strong> in the final strokes, snatching victory in his last ever 400m freestyle by 0.26secs as well as a stirring win in the 200m freestyle &#8211; dubbed the &#8220;Race Of The Century.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a
