Speaking to Swimming World ahead of the 2025 World Championships, Guy recalled:<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was Biedermann, Sun, there\u2019s Chad (le Clos), there\u2019s Lochte. I really looked up to Paul Biedermann, I watched him in 2009 and tried to copy his stroke and I watched Sun in 2012 when I was 15, 16. I idolised these guys growing up so to be in the world final next to Ryan Lochte was like \u2018what on earth is going on?\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cLochte\u2019s someone I\u2019ve watched since I was 11. There was the start of the Phelps era \u2013 2004, 2005 – and then Lochte got involved. And then in 2011 Lochte blew that worlds apart. Me and Duncan (Duncan Scott) always talk about how good he was in 2011. And then to race him in 2013 (in the 4×200 freestyle relay) and then race him head-to-head in 15 was like this is one of the greats \u2013 and then to beat him as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember walking out for the 200 freestyle final and I had no pressure on me, I wasn\u2019t even nervous for it, I was like I\u2019ve got nothing to lose here. My main goal for that was to medal in the 400 and try and make the final in the 2 because my 200 was never really the main event. So, when I qualified second fastest, I was like \u2018oh, I might get\u00a0 a medal tomorrow night\u2019 and I was like \u2018imagine if I won it.\u2019 And I remember when we\u2019d done the race turning around and seeing 1 \u2013 James Guy and it was just like oh my God \u2013 what has just happened? Beating Sun Yang as well \u2013 obviously he should never have been there because of his doping controversy and he beat me in the 4.<\/p>\n
\u201cI look back at it and I don\u2019t think it\u2019ll ever sink in but it\u2019s something that I\u2019m very proud that I\u2019ve done but it just shows that if you can put the work in and you believe in yourself, it can happen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Adam Peaty, The 4×2 & Brothers In Arms<\/h3>\n
Watching in the ready room was Adam Peaty<\/strong> who\u2019d won his first world title in the 100m breaststroke on day two. He went out little more than 15 minutes later for the 50 breast semifinals and broke the world record that Cameron van der Burgh<\/strong> set in prelims that day.<\/p>\n![\"james-guy-world-championships](\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/james-guy-world-championships-1-700x500.jpg\")

It marked the start of a band of brothers whose bonds appear set to last a lifetime with Guy and Peaty great friends today.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe weren\u2019t that close at that time,\u201d said Guy. \u201cWe didn\u2019t really know each other properly. But when I won he was like \u2018oh my God, I\u2019ve got to go out and win the semifinal now because Jimmy\u2019s won the 200 free.\u2019 And that\u2019s when this British Swimming powerhouse just kind of came through. And here we are 10 years later.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Guy wasn\u2019t done yet though. The men\u2019s 4x200m relay \u2013 with a young Duncan Scott<\/strong> on the anchor leg \u2013 qualified third through prelims.<\/p>\nGuy was drafted in to replace Scott for the final, joining Dan Wallace<\/strong>, Robbie Renwick<\/strong> and Calum Jarvis<\/strong>. Third at the final takeover, Guy split 1:44.74 to steer the quartet past the USA and Russia into gold.<\/p>\nIt was the first time a British men’s squad had won a relay title at long-course worlds.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember the final came around and Jol (coach Jol Finck) never mentioned anything about winning. He was like if you guys can do what you can do, something special can happen and just left it at that. So we kind of knew in the back of our minds that if we get it right, we know we can get on the podium and be the right colour of medal.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter that race, I was like I\u2019m done now, I\u2019m tired. I remember walking back around after Sharron (Sharron Davies) interviewed us and she couldn\u2019t believe it because Britain were always sixth, seventh in the relays. I remember the whole team was clapping me which was really nice because we brought it back for GB. Bill (former coach Bill Furniss) shook my hand, Chris (performance director Chris Spice) gave me a hug and then it was like you\u2019re doing the 100 fly in the medley relay \u2013 I was like what? I haven\u2019t done any butterfly so I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re expecting. Then the free and fly campaign started and that was it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The men\u2019s medley was led off by Chris Walker-Hebborn<\/strong> in 53.23 followed by Peaty (57.74) and Guy (51.62) with Ben Proud<\/strong> posting 48.08 on anchor as they were pipped to bronze by France. Of note in that race was Cam McEvoy’s<\/strong> 46.60 anchor leg as Australia won silver.<\/p>\nExperience & Maturity Heading Into Singapore<\/h3>\n
Since Kazan, Guy has won three golds among six Olympic medals and a further three more world titles among eight more honours.<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll contest the 200 free in Singapore alongside Richards, having secured the slot after the dead heat with Scott at the trials in April.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old will also reunite with Tom Dean<\/strong>, Richards and Scott as the two-time Olympic champions seek to reclaim the title they won in 2023 in Fukuoka.<\/p>\nGuy welcomes the chance to do the individual 200 free after having dropped events at previous championships in order to preserve energy for relays.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think getting over that 100 fly in Tokyo was a real hard one. In the back of my mind subconsciously that hurt me quite a bit because I knew I could have got an individual medal there.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the day still looking at it, we got the gold in the mixed medley, broke the world record.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He adds: \u201cI\u2019m approaching this like any other meet now. I\u2019ve really learned to be much happier outside the pool, I don\u2019t take life too seriously and enjoy the last couple of years of my career. There\u2019 no guy in that field who is more experienced doing the 200 free than me. I was 17 at the 2013 worlds so David (Olympic champion David Popovici) would\u2019ve been eight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m enjoying it. Just go and do my process: it\u2019s the same old stuff. It\u2019s just nice to have some confidence again in what I\u2019m doing and actually seeing some results. I\u2019m back on my best form \u2013 I\u2019ve been 1:45.0 at trials, at the Olympics. But it\u2019s just going out there, having some fun and I\u2019m just glad I\u2019ve got the chance to race the 200 free again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
