Former e-athlete wins gold at Paralympics
Rowan “Magnetbrain” Crothers is one of the best “Valorant” players. Because of the Paralympics he takes a break and wins gold in swimming.
There is the eternal discussion in the comment column: “E-sports is not a sport!”, To which someone almost always replies: “Yes, chess is also a sport!”. The discussion is over as of today, the reason: Rowan “Magnetbrain” Crothers. Because the 23-year-old Australian wins gold as an e-athlete at the Paralympics, but let's start from the beginning.
Rowan “Magnetbrain” Crothers, 23, has two hobbies. He loves esports and swimming and he is one of the best at both. So he was an integral part of the “Valorant” scene in Australia and was able to win countless tournaments. In addition, he also trained for the Paralympics, because Rowan Crothers is also an athlete.
Rowan Crothers suffers from cerebral palsy and has movement disorders that did not affect him, at least in esports. Nevertheless, because of the Paralympics, he put his esports career on hold until further notice and concentrated fully on the preparations. It was worth it, because the 23-year-old won gold in the 50 meter freestyle S10 discipline and the whole esports scene celebrated him for it.
He prevailed against everyone, with Maksym Krypak from Ukraine and Phelipe Rodrigues from Brazil his main competitors. He swam the 50 meters in 23.21 seconds. By the way, it doesn't work entirely without gaming, Rowan “Magnetbrain” Crothers regularly streams on Twitch. Maybe in the future with a gold medal around your neck.
