Coach’s ‘unfit’ comments can’t stop Stephanie Rice from partying hard
Melbourne, Jan 6: Golden girl Stephanie Rice seems unfazed by her coach's "unfit" remarks, for the stunner was spotted partying hard in Sydney yet again.
The 20-year-old Olympic winner was seen partying at the 21st birthday bash for fellow swimmer Kenrick Monkat The Eastern in Bondi Junction.
A source revealed that Rice was the life of the party.
"It was a night where all the swimmers could let loose before their strict training regimes begin for the year," the Daily Telegraph quoted the source as saying.
"Some got a little carried away, but the event was so intimate they felt free to let it hang," the source added.
Aussie swimming champ's coach Michael Bohl said that she is "pretty unfit" after staying away from the pool for nine weeks.
However he is confident that Rice will be in top shape after she starts her training.
While he is upbeat that Rice will qualify for the world championships in Rome in July, Bohl admits the task will not be easy.
"That''s the hardest thing," he said. "She''s had the longest break she''s ever had. There was nine weeks where she wasn''t doing too much at all. (ANI)
