  • Let's take a look back to one of the most exciting swimming finals from the 2003 edition of the FINA World Championships in Barcelona. Must be watched until the very end! In a tough sprint between Pieter Van Den Hoogenband and Ian Thorpe, King of speed Alexander Popov from Russia managed to touch the wall first in a time of 48.44 winning the Gold Medal in the 100M FREE Final.

    The number of big names in this event was mind blowing, and David is simply too good. Still an amazing race given nearly 20 years ago.

    My favourite swimmer of all times, Aleksandr Vladimirovich Popov.

      Toughest competitor in every final heat. He did not care about his time, his goal was only to touch first.
      Interestingly, he was actually a better backstroker than freestyle.

      Maybe, but Thorpe did manage to win 13 medals involving him swimming a 100m Freestyle at international long course meets from 1999-2004. Also got 4th in 2001 by 0.02s. Difficult to find someone with a better record

    Just listened to Jason Lezak talk about this race on Brett Hawke’s podcast - how Alex Popov psyched him out with the trash talk in the Ready Room.

    I remember newspapers writing greatly about Popov after the Barcelona Championships. Thought he would win again at the Olympics even though he lost at the 2000 Olympics

    It is mind blowing to realise that Popovici would have won this race by a 3-4 meter margin

    • @MrYoumitube
      @MrYoumitube Год назад +3

      Yes, that is impressive, but if Popov raced in today's era with the nutrition, training and recovery methods I can guarantee Popov would win and when you factor Popov was a psych king he would have made his competition shiver.
