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
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
Sin traje especial para hacer trampa como thorpe, sin gorra de agua, sin nado de delfín como ahora, solamente nadando con una increíble perfección, el gran Alexander Popov 🇲🇽❤️🇷🇺

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.
ОЛИМПИЙСКИЕ ЧЕМПИОНЫ НИКОГДА НИ ТЕРЯЮТ БЛЕСК!! ОСОБЕННО ЭТО КАСАЕТСЯ САШИ ПОПОВА. ДА, БУДЕТ ФЕЛПС и0 ДРУГИЕ. НО СПРОСИТЕ У СПОРТСМЕНОВ, ТРЕНЕРОВ КАКОЙ ПЛОВЕЦ ЛУЧШИЙ В ИСТОРИИ И ВАМ ВСЕ СКАЖУТ АЛЕКСАНДР ПОПОВ! СЛЕДОМ ЗА НИМ ФЕЛПС И ИЖЕ С НИМ. ШТО ТО В САШЕ БЫЛО ТАКОЕ ШТО НИ ДАЁТ НИКОМУ ЕГО ЗАБЫТЬ ОН УНИКУМ ЛЕГЕНДА!!!!!!!!!!!@

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.
"Swimming caps will help you swim fast and win races"
Popov: "I am exception"
as was mark spitz.
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.
Mine too
Ever since I have adopted Popov's kayak technique for freestyle,my freestyle has improved drastically. Amazing swimmer
1:33 "Long live the king" 😀
Popov was a monster!
Popov was a real tsar of swimmerworld. He was Great and so pretty!!!!
Is he dead?
@@janesilva2003 nope super alive haha
very handsome guy!!!
He always seems so cool and calm, before, during and after races.
and he is sooo handsome
Unless you were his rival
one of the Sprint GOATs
he looks so relax and effortless even in top speed; no body can touch him
Popov. Most technic swimmer in sprint distsnce
Popov was truly awesome, so weird seeing Thorpe swimming that distance
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

A true man, got up to fight again. Popov never gave up!
Best style ever
Such a beautiful swimmer, damn I wish I could swim 1/10th as good as him.
Suscribo
Обожаю Попова❤И как великого спортсмена, и как замечательного человека❤
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.
Was Lezak really that mentally weak?? 😭
Александр просто красавчик....

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