People like Florent or Phelps inspire. They inspire to achieve great things. They've done it for me and millions of other people. And for that I thank you.
For the anecdote, the French commentator found this awesome pun on the spot, when his sister Laure hugs him at the end: "Il a Laure autour du cou" ("He's got Laure around the neck") knowing that "Laure" is pronounced the same as "l'or", which means "gold" :)
That was not his girlfirend, but his sister (Laure Manaudou) How can these commentators can be so lame??? Did they never see the tenderness between a brother and sister?
the english/americans cant see any other relationship but girlfriend /boyfriend....thats their whole world..for them ,no other relationship exist ..bro/sis mom/son all r useless
Who are those swimming specialists who only know Laure Manaudou's name but have no idea what she looks like ? She's won everything that can be won in the sport, not too long ago, and when you see her coming you think she's her brother's girlfriend!? My word... At first you didn't say anything, which was a sign you had no clue, but we couldn't be sure, so you were saving your blushes. Why did you have to venture a comment in the end ? Silly mistake.
FLORENT MANAUDOU have made the best time of the series....dont worry he's going to be OLYMPIC champion in Rio !!! he's young he was to confident after being Olympic champion in london 2012
Laurent Manaudou warmly congratulated by his sister Laure Manaudou, herself a swimmer who won gold at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004 where she won 3 Gold, Silver and Bronze medals.
@@Andre-yj8dd you’re in the most optimal position to go fast when your head is down in a “streamline” position. The 50 meter free is the shortest race that one can hold their breath and sprint at speed for!
I hear what you are saying Matthew, but there are many people with the *wrong stroke style* whom swim at astonishing speeds. This has perplexed me for years until I realized that these specific swimmers ( amongst them many swingers ) developed specific muscle strengths that directly complement their odd style of swimming. Ergo, change their style and now they need to redevelop both muscle memory and specific strengths in different fibres.
the frenchman FLORENT MANAUDOU > 4 Gold medals in Europe 2014 Championship ! OLYMPIC Champion in London its the best Europe swimmer ! a giant 6 ft 6 ! tall muscled,speed,powerful feel unbeatable !
Actually specific stroke style plays directly into arm speed or in other words the negatively impacted speed is related to a certain extent by the changing of his stroke thereby making it more perfect.
He has been world champion relay 4x100 m 2013 in barcelona with the french relay but only 5th on his 50m but FLORENT MANAUDOU is going to be the next king of 50 M freestyle is talented powerful a 6 feet 6 a giant its a the brother of ex superstar swimmer female olympic champion many times world champion : LAURE MANAUDOU
Are you serious? his the fastest swimmer in the history of mankind without a supersuit. It really doesn't matter how highly that event is regarded in the sport he can celebrate as much as he likes.
the commenting woman is so ignorant. She is his sister. And yes, check kiss is not incest, it's just tenderness in France. Romantic love is kiss on the lips.
Yeh good point. He makes up like what half a body length from 15-50. He basically makes up twice what Manadou beats Jones by. Maybe he would have saved about 0.4s if he'd got his start right and gone around 21.40 +/- 0.1 depending on what his normal start is like.
this deserve some love. im watching it in 2024. I watch this race live in 2012, but rewatched it in 2016 and 2021 (during olympics I always rewatch a lot). For the first time ever I watched it paying attention at Ervin. Look at when they first show it from above how behind he is from everyone else and how much he recovers throught the race. If it wasn't for his bad start maybe he could've won it.
I also thought that, Julian, but it's very possible that his very specific muscle strengths and arm speed ( stroke frequency ) plays directly into this specific stroke style. Or in other words, changing his stroke to make it "more perfect" may negatively impact his speed, lol.
A win for the Gold Medalist at the 2012 Olympics and every time you swim a 50 Metres Race you might think it is short but that isn't completely true because it means you have to swim so you might lose. Never worry about distance concentrate on your job which is swimming and trying to win the race at first place. Congratulations to winners of this race with the Gold,Silver and Bronze medals as usual but the Silver Medalist swum very well and many might think he was going to win this race and truly he deserved to win at first place but he lacked power to overcome it all and finished behind the winner of this Freestyle race overall so bad news 4 him but that's sport the result defines the real outcome so the Medalist win medals as ever n they will feel happy and proud about it all so now get your rewards and the prizes so that means happy days 4 then n da losers they have to forget about this and try again next time out if they are there then.
A lot of guys breathe every 2 in the 100free, but it depends on the rhythm of the stroke. A longer, loping stroke is more conducive to breathing every 2 because the breath fits naturally into the stroke, but it doesn't generate the sort of speed required for the 50. This is why the podium for the 50 and 100 is often drastically different.
a very good swinmmer will be missing in the French national team - RIP Muffat - but a few others should make us prouf for the next few years: Agnel, Lacourt, Balmy, Manaudou, etc.
Manaudou was pushed on by his crew chief, Chris Ryan and his older sister in lane 7. He's like "Yeah, I won" and his sister was cheering him on in lane 7.
The manaudou and cielo rivalry should get more interesting in Kagan, as cielo wants a 4 peat and manaudou is fresh of a textile best in lcm and a world record in scm.
Big luck to Manaudou that Cielo was suffering with patellar tendinopathy at this time. Cielo is the true king of this sprinter generation: world record holder, Olympic champion and three-time World Champion in a row.
@JohnDoe do some research before u talk about swimming. Phelps mainly does short-middle to middle distances. Phelps is not a fullout 50m sprinter, and his best stroke is butterfly, not freestyle
Manaudou does everything my coach said me don't do. He stay underwater for 15 meters, straight arm stroke and he 'punches' the water. My coach says that isn't so effective, but Manaudou does it perfect. Looking Cielo, the wr holder, I noticed he does everything my coach says to do, don't stay underwater fo so long, full arm straight stroke but he slides his hands into the water. So...I don't know what to do.
I love the way that the woman talks about Laure Manaudou during the all race but she can't even recognize her at the end. Good job lady ;))
😂😂😂
women IQ
People like Florent or Phelps inspire. They inspire to achieve great things. They've done it for me and millions of other people. And for that I thank you.
Zachary Butler God bless
Oh great.
Just gonna casually group florent with the GOAT

"Just in case there is any confusion, it was his girlfriend not his sister"
No no, it was his sister..
Branleur
Love this young man... He is gorgeous !!!
This is probably the most exciting swimming event to watch because it so hectic.
to me, 100 free is the golden event, 200 free behind it
theterminator308 watch the 2008 Beijing 4x100m free relay finals, too epic.
50s are too quick for me, I love watching 100s, 200s and relays the most
not saying i dont like watching 50s, just not as much as the others
Cutest celebration I've ever seen! He's gorgeous
this frenchman is SUPERMAN ! Super-manaudou ! world best sprinter ! see him in RIO 2016
''Just in case there is any confusion'' Ironic, she could keep others from being confused but not herself.
That was not his girlfirend, but his sister (Laure Manaudou)
How can these commentators can be so lame??? Did they never see the tenderness between a brother and sister?
British...
There wasn't a lot of tenderness in his pants.
This video is about swimming...
the english/americans cant see any other relationship but girlfriend /boyfriend....thats their whole world..for them ,no other relationship exist ..bro/sis mom/son all r useless
it was so sweet to see Laure jumping into Florent
s arms
Who came here after watching him take Bronze in his 3rd Olympics 2024!
His 4th Olympics !
2012-2016-2021-2024 = 4 olympics.
4th
The 1st French swimmer to win 4 medals in 4 different Olympics, let alone in the same swimming style ! Merci Florent, Immense Champion !
4 podiums over 4 Olympics, what a goat!
Laure Manaudou is Florent's sister not girlfriend. GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE!
It's both
Sister can also be gf
Correct . Florent Manaudou has one older sister, Laure the Olympian swimmer and Olympic champion and he has one older brother Nicolas.
He has gf who is Denmark swimmer. I saw they kissed😂
Who are those swimming specialists who only know Laure Manaudou's name but have no idea what she looks like ? She's won everything that can be won in the sport, not too long ago, and when you see her coming you think she's her brother's girlfriend!? My word...
At first you didn't say anything, which was a sign you had no clue, but we couldn't be sure, so you were saving your blushes. Why did you have to venture a comment in the end ? Silly mistake.
She is his sister
+Thomas Drummond only 1 olympic gold medal iirc
+Thomas Drummond these 2 are the worst commentators of the sport, specially the woman.
+Thomas Drummond Yes I thought it was because it IS! It was mentioned at the end.
+cquezel I say Pellegrini is a better swimmer
FLORENT MANAUDOU have made the best time of the series....dont worry he's going to be OLYMPIC champion in Rio !!! he's young he was to confident after being Olympic champion in london 2012
No that was Laure Manaudou, so his sister...
Happycherry64 he kissed his sister...
So what ?
Florent Manaudou kissed her sister Laure
Yong Geun Song really? Wow.
@@TheDotteddotted In France it's commun for us to kiss family, and friends. Stupid people.
0:53 This is how your keep calm like a boss
AW yeah
3:59 This is how you feel when you win
He won in Rio this year hahaha
this is also how u win nothing
sorry but I think in this situation he looks stressed out ...look at manaudous entrance and you'll understand
Laurent Manaudou warmly congratulated by his sister Laure Manaudou, herself a swimmer who won gold at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004 where she won 3 Gold, Silver and Bronze medals.
Not Laurent but Florent Manaudou Sorry !
Impressive reaction time by Manadou!
"Didn't take a breath the whole 50 meters." :O
why sprint swimmer tend to not take a breath while racing?
@@Andre-yj8dd you’re in the most optimal position to go fast when your head is down in a “streamline” position. The 50 meter free is the shortest race that one can hold their breath and sprint at speed for!
i got a -20.93 and Im not even born
ill have you know I am not even existing and go -30.84
I remember almost drowning in 2 feet deep flowing water when i was around 13
3:31 michael jackson scream
I’m from the Netherlands i’m so happy
I go 0.000000000000000000002 in the 50m and I'm only negative 4,000,000 years old.
0.000000000000000002 googol years
We need more exciting swimmers like Cullen.
florent is amazing .. i am a smwimmer too and my time is 27.74sec but i am only 15 years old.. maybe one day i will be like him
lame
Hey, you still swimming after all these years? Did your time ever go down?
I hear what you are saying Matthew, but there are many people with the *wrong stroke style* whom swim at astonishing speeds. This has perplexed me for years until I realized that these specific swimmers ( amongst them many swingers ) developed specific muscle strengths that directly complement their odd style of swimming.
Ergo, change their style and now they need to redevelop both muscle memory and specific strengths in different fibres.
There's something so bad ass about the way the words "Take your mark.." is said at 2:28
50 free is the most unpredictable event in swimming
but in my view, I like men's 100free the most because it's really blue ribbon
the frenchman FLORENT MANAUDOU > 4 Gold medals in Europe 2014 Championship ! OLYMPIC Champion in London its the best Europe swimmer ! a giant 6 ft 6 ! tall muscled,speed,powerful feel unbeatable !
He is the only one who doesn't bend the elbow. Rigid arms are the best for short races. Also he is 1.99m tall so his reach his more than the others.
Agreed, the race is too short, doing the correct form only works when it's more than 100m
Actually specific stroke style plays directly into arm speed or in other words the negatively impacted speed is related to a certain extent by the changing of his stroke thereby making it more perfect.
The stroke rate of Bruno Fratus is unbelievable.
He has been world champion relay 4x100 m 2013 in barcelona with the french relay but only 5th on his 50m but FLORENT MANAUDOU is going to be the next king of 50 M freestyle is talented powerful a 6 feet 6 a giant its a the brother of ex superstar swimmer female olympic champion many times world champion : LAURE MANAUDOU
manaudou are so so strong...from italy...
Un très bon souvenir...la victoire d'un champion⚘
Are you serious? his the fastest swimmer in the history of mankind without a supersuit. It really doesn't matter how highly that event is regarded in the sport he can celebrate as much as he likes.
Twitching is moving. Moving is not motionless. Therefore it's an attempt to start before the signal. And that is why it is a false start.
the commenting woman is so ignorant. She is his sister. And yes, check kiss is not incest, it's just tenderness in France. Romantic love is kiss on the lips.
@Master Roshi This is long course meters. It is a lot farther than the average school pool which is short course meters
Manadous so handsome 😍
I see haruka nanase in them. But haru looks even more beautiful when he swimms💙😌
This guy is famous for being *JUICED.*
Her girlfriend is Pernille Blume. Olympic Champion in 50m freestyle in Rio 2016!
allez Florent et Laure .VIVE LA FRANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we are lucky to have a very good champion
I'm french and I was so surprised !! I was screaming in front of my tv... I think I really looked like a mad girl --'
Beau souvenir ! Il vient d'avoir deux titres mondiaux. Un très grand. Champion français. Je ne sais pas qui va pouvoir le battre aux jo 2016
Phelps et sa maudite clique !
Anthony ervin
il et fort
..
Amazing Manaudou
Yeh good point. He makes up like what half a body length from 15-50. He basically makes up twice what Manadou beats Jones by. Maybe he would have saved about 0.4s if he'd got his start right and gone around 21.40 +/- 0.1 depending on what his normal start is like.
Ervin still went 21.78 and got 5th after completely missing the start lmao too good
this deserve some love. im watching it in 2024. I watch this race live in 2012, but rewatched it in 2016 and 2021 (during olympics I always rewatch a lot). For the first time ever I watched it paying attention at Ervin. Look at when they first show it from above how behind he is from everyone else and how much he recovers throught the race. If it wasn't for his bad start maybe he could've won it.
Manadou is beast af
Monster of 50 free...he went 21.19 in 2015....
I envy those bodies.
Manaudou unknow? what did you say? She won three Olympic medals, six world medals and thirteen European medals!
they swim faster than i can run :/
You should be able to run 50 meters in like 11 seconds without any training LOL
Thats sad
yo're probably fat :(
u do relise usain ran 100m in 9.58 seconds ay?
+Yong Geun Song bud this is 50 m you should be able to run 50 m in atleast 10 sec more like 7 not 100m
I think the 50 Free is about taking chance, because the race has to be close to perfect or else it'll have a huge impact on your place and time.
At 4.22 this is his sister, Laure Manaudou the 2004 Athena gold medalist...
Now 2014 in Doha he owns 2 world records 50 and 100 m (short course)
100 he does not 50 no longer but 50 back yes still his record
when its the olympics, i think he has the right to congratulate himself on winning
gold job flo 💜
I also thought that, Julian, but it's very possible that his very specific muscle strengths and arm speed ( stroke frequency ) plays directly into this specific stroke style. Or in other words, changing his stroke to make it "more perfect" may negatively impact his speed, lol.

They’re only going roughly 4.4x slower than athletes running. And this is in water!! 830 times more dense than air.
Yes , is Laure Manaudou , 3 olympic medals

Its just me or she said at the end : "that was his girlfriend not his sister" ??!!
Alice I know, that"s why I'm shocked
Cielo showing off and Florent is doing it for his family( he's also a first time Olympian...
a very good swinmmer will be missing in the French national team - RIP Muffat - but a few others should make us prouf for the next few years: Agnel, Lacourt, Balmy, Manaudou, etc.
Mathieu RIDEL Sad to hear about Muffat and another of their French boxers, but didn't Muffat retire from swimming?
that is correct. Less than one year before her death, she had retired from swimming.
The heck? Wow, no breath in a 50 m. I guess that's standard but I could never 😂😂
Funny thing is that, before this race, Manaudou never managed to do a whole 50m without breathing, and that day he made it... and won.
Manaudou always race 50 m without breathing
your dumb
In an olympic final your body does not listen to limits your mind places for you.
Ikr, i was like "ok when these guys gonna come out the water to breath" 😂 then he already won
im american but i must say that some of my favorite modern day swimmers are french... yannick agnel, freddy bousquet, manadou
revenge of Ervin was really hard
1:12 Im in Love 😍
Oh Florent take me now!
Manaudou was pushed on by his crew chief, Chris Ryan and his older sister in lane 7. He's like "Yeah, I won" and his sister was cheering him on in lane 7.
Safe to say Florent never had trouble with the ladies
the girl who hugged him afterwards is laure manaudou, his sister. but he's dating pernille blume
Felicitation pour ganger or medailles! 🏆
oh and that is not his girlfriend that is Laurie Manadou 400 meter free champion at the Beijing Olympics
his sister
I feel the same man. Its upsetting for me as a fan.
He is so cute with the dimples
Yeah, brother.
florent "killerwhale" manaudou" new world star swimmer sprinter ! the usain bolt of the pool !!!
Yeah, manaudou vs cielo in Kagan should be very interesting, especially with morozov in the mix with a home pool advantage.
I know it's kazan auto correct sucks
no
Florent 😍
love love florent
He does that a lot.
Ervin and his crew chief, Ken Zeal drew lane 3 and Jones and crew chief Clarence Markham drew lane 5.
Quel champion!!! Bravo Florent, qui sait ,peut être reviendras tu à la natation. Tu as les capacités à tenter une autre médaille olympique...
Il l'a fait !

Too bad they didn't, again.

Big luck to Manaudou that Cielo was suffering with patellar tendinopathy at this time. Cielo is the true king of this sprinter generation: world record holder, Olympic champion and three-time World Champion in a row.
Excuses of losers hahahaha
Little did they know, 4 years later Anthony Ervin would take the gold in the same event.

and he just wont the freakan bronze in 2024..how????? Dude IMO is the best 50m swimmer in history!

FREE brought me here 😍❤️🐒
the 50 free is one of the most hardest events!!!!!!!!!!!!! to haters
