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.

"Swimming caps will help you swim fast and win races" Popov: "I am exception"
as was mark spitz.
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.
1:33 "Long live the king" 😀
He always seems so cool and calm, before, during and after races.
and he is sooo handsome
Unless you were his rival
Ever since I have adopted Popov's kayak technique for freestyle,my freestyle has improved drastically. Amazing swimmer
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!!!
Such a beautiful swimmer, damn I wish I could swim 1/10th as good as him.
Popov. Most technic swimmer in sprint distsnce
one of the Sprint GOATs
he looks so relax and effortless even in top speed; no body can touch him
Best style ever
Обожаю Попова❤И как великого спортсмена, и как замечательного человека❤
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
Саша лучший😂 какой торп😂
Popov then. Popovici now. I guess Popovicius in 2030.
Hihi!Let it be!
Александр просто красавчик....
Popov è stato un Dio del nuoto! Una Leggenda! Immortale! 😍🏊🏻♂️🇷🇺🥇🏆
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
A true man, got up to fight again. Popov never gave up!

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.
Попов легенда ,голландец фуфел
