Personal

Blake John Cochrane born on 25 January 1991. Cochrane's character is such that he has turned physical adversity into a strength. He has achievements in both academics and sports, but it is the latter that marks his strength of character and competitive nature. He commenced soccer at the age of five and played for over 10 years as a striker and later in the position as goalie winning club recognition of his skills. In high school, he played various sports including representing the Southern Cross Catholic College on a Gaelic Football sports tour to Ireland. He developed an interest in scuba-diving as well as snow skiing—he has a strong interest in both team and individual sports across the board.

He blitzed the field at the 2011 Para Pan Pacific Championships in Canada, winning five gold medals and breaking the world record in the 100m breaststroke. 2010 was an especially prolific year for Blake as he won gold in the 100m breaststroke at the World Championships, before snaring a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. In 2011 he won Swimming Australia’s Swimmer with a Disability of the Year Award. During the 2012 Australian Swimming Nationals he again set a new world record in the 100m breaststroke (SB8) final.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} Competing at the 2012 London Games, he competed in five events and won two gold medals in the Men's 100 m Breaststroke SB7 and Men's 4 × 100 m Freestyle 34 points.[3]

At the 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he broke the world record in winning the gold medal in the Men's 100 m Breaststroke SB7.[4]

Competing at the 2015 IPC Swimming World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, he won the silver medal in the Men's 100 m Breaststroke SB7 and a bronze medal in the Men's 4 × 100 m Freestyle Relay 34 points.[5][6] He finished fourth in Men's 4 × 100 m Medley Relay 34pts, fifth in the Men's 50m Freestyle S8 and Men's 100m Freestyle S8.[7]

In 2015, he was coached by Jan Cameron at the University of the Sunshine Coast.[8]

In preparation for Rio, Cochrane coaches states “Blake never thought he had any disability ... and never looked back.”[10]
