Amaury Leveaux Sets Olympic Record


One of France's most prominent athletes and TYR team member, Amaury Leveaux has been breaking records left and right this year. His spontaneity brings a smile to fans' faces.

At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Amaury set a new OLYMPIC RECORD in the 50m Freestyle in the prelim event. He swam faster than any swimmer has in the history of the Olympic Games. He helped fellow Frenchmen set 2 European Records in the 4x100m Freestyle (one in prelims, then one in finals).

Amaury is the 2nd Fastest Man in History in the 50m Freestyle, swimming an incredible time of 21.38. Just last year, Amaury was ranked 74th in the world in the 50m Freestyle. Now he's 2nd!

Watch Amaury swim in the 50m Freestyle Prelims and Final at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
