Great interview! My son is a sprinter and I can't wait to share Florent's perspective on racing with him. There is so much pressure to win these days from outside sources, even from parents, and knowing that your best result comes when you relax and let it happen has to be a huge relief for any athlete. Thanks for another awesome interview!

Great comments Kurt. Thank you!
unfortunately cesar didnt realy stop so that he'd realy come back
Great Interview. Felt like I really gained insight into the psychology of the 50.
Great interview!
His English is really good (for a French person ;) ). Really did not expect this.
And now he's won another silver at the Olympics, even after retiring for a while
