Cody, 27, finished fifth in the 100m butterfly at the Olympic trials and commented on his defeat – and revealed he would return to the music industry.
“It’s bittersweet,” he told reporters at the big event in Brisbane.
“But I did what I could – and that’s all you can do.”
A few days before entering the pool, Cody reflected on the time he spent training to be an Olympian.

‘I GAVE EVERYTHING I HAVE’
On his Instagram account, he shared a blink of an eye of himself concentrated while swimming.
“I find myself reflecting on the last 4 years I’ve had chasing my dreams and desires in this sport.
“It seems like just yesterday it was 2020, getting back into the water raw and totally unfit, having not swum or competed since I was a boy.
“I gave everything I have morning and night in training to see what I can get out of myself; I burned every boat I could burn in the chase.
“The physical and mental expansion that swimming has brought me now is enormous. Along with all the dreams achieved in swimming for Australia.
“Thank you to everyone who supported me on my journey. I do all this for the 12-year-old boy in me. He would be so happy to know everything that happened. I think so, because he is me! See you later on the other side! “
Miley Cyrus breaks silence on split from Cody Simpson and says the former couple are still ‘friends’ and are taking time to ‘work’ on themselves
‘SO PROUD’
Family and fans showed nothing but support for Cody in the comments section.
Cody’s sister Alli wrote, “Love you brother.”
“We’re the same age and following your journey for just over a decade has been mind-blowing, I can’t wait for what’s next, I’m already super proud,” said a fan.
A second wrote: “Beyond proud of you man.”
Career of Cody Simpson
In recent years, Cody Simpson has put his music career aside to focus on swimming.
Cody Simpson began his music career by sharing several singing videos on YouTube.
He has covered hit songs including Justin Timberlake’s Cry Me A River and Bon Jovi’s Wanted Dead Or Alive.
In 2010, he released his first single with rapper Flo Rida, iYiYi.
Months later, he signed a contract with Atlantic Records, where he released several albums until 2014, when he left the label.
He created his label titled Coast House in 2015 and has released more music, with his most recent release being a self-titled album in 2022.
However, he changed his focus from music to swimming in 2019 and began competing in competitions in Australia with dreams of becoming an Olympian.
The musician stands out in the hit Butterfly.
On June 15, 2024, Cody unfortunately did not make the cut after placing fifth at the Australian Olympic Trials.
“No matter what happens, you’ve already won,” said a third before the competition.
“You should be very proud of your incredible journey!” someone exclaimed.
CODY’S DOUBLE LIFE
In 2009, he began posting videos singing hit songs including I’m Yours by Jason Mraz and Cry Me A River by Justin Timberlake.
In May 2010, he released his first single iYiYi featuring rapper Flo Rida.
That same year, Cody signed with Atlantic Records and released 4 U (2010), Coast To Coast (2011), Paradise (2012) and Surfer’s Paradise (2013).

Cody also participated in season 18 of Dancing With The Stars and was eliminated in week 5.
In 2014, he parted ways with Atlantic Records and created his record label, Coast House.
Since then, he has released albums including Free (2015), Wave Two (2019), B – Sides (2019) and his most recent album Cody Simpson (2022).
In 2019, he made swimming a priority, where he trained hard and competed in several competitions in Australia.
In 2021, he appeared in an Amazon Prime Video documentary, Head Above Water.
