The 25-year-old has been managing the injury while also working as a landscape worker on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Two weeks before the trials, Chalmers spent a day resting on the couch, which aggravated his back. “I tried to do a dive on Saturday morning, and it all spasmed and locked up,” he said. Despite the setbacks, Chalmers received four cortisone injections in his lower back and expressed gratitude for being able to compete. “I know I can get it right in six weeks’ time for the Olympics,” he said. Chalmers has a history of injuries and health issues, including bulging discs, a degenerative spine, heart surgery, shoulder surgeries, and mental health struggles. However, he remains mentally resilient and credits his ability to rise above adversity to his previous experiences. “Mentally and emotionally, I’m in a very good spot,” he said. “I’m able to rise above the challenges that have been thrown at me.” Despite the physical pain, Chalmers is confident in his ability to overcome the injury and achieve his Olympic dream. “It’s more just the physical pain,” he said.Hunter Chalmers remains positive despite suffering a back injury, expressing confidence that it will not hinder his Olympic aspirations.
