PARIS (Reuters) - Arno Kamminga claimed two silver medals at the Tokyo Olympics in the 100m and 200m breaststroke but the Dutch swimmer's preparations for the Paris Games have been far from ideal.

Kamminga's career nosedived when he fell sick and then contracted Covid-19 at the 2022 world championships in Budapest.
