Description
It’s shades of orange everywhere for Dutch Olympic breaststroker Caspar Corbeau. When representing The Netherlands, he wears a true orange and for Texas, it’s the burnt variety, but it was the medal he wore around his neck this summer in Paris that was a magical bronze. Already a many time NCAA finalist among the top breaststrokers and IMers in college swimming, the dual-citizen for the US and Netherlands, Caspar Corbeau, decided to change his scenery before the final year preparing for the Olympics and crossed the pond to train with compatriot and world-class breaststroker Arno Kamminga and the Dutch national team in Amsterdam. That decision paid off, as Caspar took a leap forward from college standout to one of the best breaststrokers in the world in the process. The 6’7” double-earring wearing super athlete unsurprisingly came from an athletic family - his parents both elite college swimmers themselves in their day. He hasn’t ruled out a return to finish his college eligibility just yet, so we shall see what the future holds. One thing is certain - Caspar is on the rise
