GB swimming stars taking the plunge

Young couple to marry days after Olympics

- JEREMY ARMSTRONG

TWO young swimmers hope to be the golden couple at the Paris Olympics before the main event of their wedding just days later.

Team GB sweethearts Emily Large, 23, and Matt Richards, 21, will walk down the aisle this summer after years of training together.

The couple, who swim more than 100km a week between them, will tie the knot on August 22 - 11 days after the 2024 Olympics in the City of Love.

Emily covers 55km (34 miles) a week in training while Matt, who became an Olympic champion aged 18 in Tokyo in the 4x200m relay, does around 50km (31 miles).
