Bruno Fratus has dropped a 21 second 50m free performance over 90-times in his career. He alone owns that astounding metric—which is probably why he is loved the world over. He’s been in the hunt in the men’s 50m free since 2011–always among the top elite swimmers fighting for a podium position.In this swimswam #podcast Bruno unpacks his sprint free history, the highs and the lows, and he restates his intentions to race until he is 35 years old at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

There are two kind of cockiness: the one that you look at and you kind of admire (Djokovic, Gary Hall, Bolt comes to mind) and the one that just gets under your skin. Bruno is a nice person, but is definitely the kind of cocky that gets under your skin, especially in his lives and QnA in instagram.

But respect for the guy. Clean Brazilian winning an amazing medal. Congratulations

Would love to see if Bruno could possibly become the first man ever to swim under 22 over 100 times.
