Ryk Neethling Makes Me Want To Read

Posted July 20, 2008 at 2:17 am by Suz in Swimming Worldwide

And if you knew me personally, you’d understand how huge that statement is!

Our dear Ryk, whom the Swim Aids refer to as “The Hotness”, has an autobiography coming out this fall and some snippets are starting to leak.

In the book, titled Chasing the Dream, we will get some insight into his longterm relationship with Miss Amanda Beard a few years back. (Hottest. Swim. Couple. Ever.) We also learn more about how he got into the sport, which was that he almost drowned as a 5 year old. How PVK-esque!

Other topics include the reasoning behind turning down Qatar’s offer to race for them, as well as why he still calls South Africa home.

In other words, I am intrigued. I want to read this book. And I don’t read books. Such power Ryk holds. This has the potential to be simply dangerous!

Also, Ryk recently turned down an offer to be the next “Bachelor” for ABC. He only wants to concentrate of preparing for Beijing, like a good little Olympic athlete. That’s unfortunate, though. And by unfortunate, I mean for us Swim Aids. Because if there’s one thing American TV needs, it’s a healthy dose of “The Hotness”. Maybe Dancing With The Stars will come calling too? I don’t care what show it is. My ass is going to watch. Just keepin’ it real!

      I need the book fa sho! And I would watch The Bachelor (aka the show I hate the most) if he was on it. And Dancing with the Stars – HELL YES! My ass would vote non-stop. Or at least as much as I can. :)

      Wow! I’m so happy to see that there’s such a lot of love for our our boy in the USA. He’s a honey, believe me..a gentle giant with impeccable manners….and we love him to bits. You go Rykie !
