#209 László Cseh on his EPIC swimming career

Hungarian László Cseh is one of the most decorated swimmers in the history of our sport: six (6) Olympic medals, seventeen (17) World Championship medals, and forty-eight (48) European Championship medals.  Michael Phelps was his kryptonite. Cseh finished 2nd behind him in 3 events at the 2008 Olympics, earning 3 silver medals in the 200 IM, 400 IM, and 200 Fly. In 2014, after a coaching change from György Turi to Zsolt Plagányi, his focus shifted to shorter events.  Enjoy! 00:00 Swimming Sponsors 03:30 Hello László Cseh 04:30 Hall of Fame Career 06:00 Michael Phelps 07:30 László Cseh Sr. 09:45 2004 Olympics 11:30 Broken foot 14:30 Sad about Bronze 17:05 Beijing 2008 19:30 How to swim 400 IM 21:30 Dryland training 22:50 Big Volume 25:30 Nerves before racing 27:30 Swimming identity 29:00 Hungary 30:30 György Turi 33:20 Being a 400 IMer 34:20 Injuries 35:00 Training mentality in Hungary 36:00 Could have been better? 37:05 Zsolt Plagányi 39:15 Bronze 50 Fly Kazan 2015 40:00 Pressure 41:30 3 way tie for Silver 42:30 I can do it better I need to try again 43:00 Favorite City 44:30 Tokyo 5th Olympics 45:10 Most confident race 45:35 50 Freestyle 46:10 Favorite Competitor 46:40 Hardest Set 49:20 Favorite Competition 50:05 Favorite Equiment 51:10 Sponsors 52:00 Making money in swimming 52:40 Future Support Our Sponsors: AQUAVOLO DRAG SOX: Build power and strength in the water with Drag Sox made by AquaVolo.
