Inside with Brett Hawke: Florent Manaudou

Florent Manaudou is the 2012 Olympic Champion in the Men's 50 Freestyle. Anthony Ervin clipped him in 2016 to ruin his bid to win back-to-back Olympic titles. Florent retired and became a professional handball player. He has since come out of retirement to join Energy Standard as part of the International Swimming League. 00:00 Introduction 02:10 Family Success 06:50 Swimming Idols 08:00 Importance of Coaches / Depth Of French Sprinting 10:55 2012 Olympic 50 Freestyle Reflection 12:15 Confidence 13:55 Is Florent Manaudou A Legend? 15:55 The Concerns With Early Success 18:00 2016 Olympic Experience / Expectations 20:15 Thoughts On Anthony Ervin 21:28 Is The 50 Freestyle Skill Or Luck? 23:30 Self-Belief in the Ready Room 25:30 Which Is Better: World Record or Olympic Champion? 26:45 Is It Possible To Swim Under :21 in the 50 Freestyle? 28:15 What’s It Like To Race Caeleb Dressel? 29:35 Time Away From The Sport 33:15 Who is the GOAT of Sprinting? 35:00 First Time Brett and Florent Met SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL:    / @insidewithbretthawke   Listen & Review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
