jess johnstone only started swimming in october and she's already breaking records?? that's insane, could be the next big thing for nz
lol cope, i'm just being realistic. we've hyped 'next big things' before and they flopped. let her swim first
good on her but let's not get ahead of ourselves. sophie pascoe's records took years of hard work. hope the hype doesn't burn her out
oh great another 'future star' headline. we've seen this before. let her actually win something first before comparing her to pascoe
actually the para system is pretty robust nz. she'll have good support. but yeah, pressure is real. hope she ignores the noise
yeah but mate, you gotta be excited sometimes. she's clearly talented, what's wrong with celebrating that?

cambridge school producing another talent. st peter's must be chuffed. hope she stays grounded
bloody oath, st peter's always pumping out athletes. something in the water there 😂
as someone who works in high performance sport, the transition from able-bodied to para is not easy. huge credit to her for adapting so quick. exciting times
wtf is with all the optimism? she's a teenager, give her space. media loves to put pressure on young athletes then tear them down
keen to see how she goes at LA28. if she keeps improving this fast, could be special. nice to have some positive sports news for once
