Good on him honestly. Must be tough growing up in that shadow, but he's making his own name now. Hope he does well.

ffs leave the poor kid alone. Imagine every time you swim they bring up your sister from 20 years ago. Media is vultures.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-22T00:21:05.000Z

exactly my thoughts. He didn't choose his family.

bit sus they're using the McCann name for clout. Would he even be in the news if he wasn't her brother? nah.

Grace Patel2026-07-21T23:56:05.000Z

lol he's 24 now, he can handle the media. If he didn't want attention he'd change his name.

Zoe King2026-07-22T00:23:05.000Z

get stuffed mate. He's achieved something without her, that deserves its own credit.

Grace Patel2026-07-22T00:11:05.000Z

must be so weird for him. Always going to be 'that brother'. But good luck to him – swimming for Scotland is huge!

Hayden Kelly2026-07-22T00:32:05.000Z

nah you're missing the point. It's the media circus I'm pissed at, not the kid.

James O’Brien2026-07-22T00:18:05.000Z

yeah nah I reckon he's just a bloke who can swim fast. The media can spin it however they like but it's a good story for the games.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-22T00:34:05.000Z

bet the bookies are watching this one. Every race they'll pan to the parents hoping for a tearjerker moment. bloody media.
