- Swimming
Meet the 2024 50 Freestyle World Champion, Vlad Bukhov.
Vlad is a 21 year old Ukrainian living, training, and studying in Kiev. He discusses his journey from discovering his talent for sprinting at age 15 to winning gold at the World Championships last month, upsetting Cam McEvoy by just .01.
In Doha, Vlad went from 21.7 to 21.3.
Bukhov shares details of his grueling training regimen and calm mental approach in the face of immense pressure. He offers a unique perspective on preparing for major competitions with rockets flying overhead. At any minute, sirens let him know to jump out of the pool and into the bomb shelter.
Fellow Ukrainian swimmer, world record holder, mentor, and friend Andrii Govorov joins to provide analysis of Vlad's lightning-fast back half and immense potential.
Andrii calls Vlad Bukhov, “the most efficient swimmer in history”.
