Olympics official video: Manaudou wins 50m freestyle Olympic gold in 2012

Florent Manaudou (French pronunciation: [flɔʁɑ̃ manodu]; born 12 November 1990) is a French competitive swimmer, an Olympic champion of the 50-meter freestyle at the 2012 London Olympics, and the younger brother of Laure Manaudou, a 2004 Olympic gold medalist in swimming. He competes for the Energy Standard Swim Club in the International Swimming League.

Personal life

Manaudou is the son of a French father and a Dutch mother. He first began swimming under the direction of his older brother, Nicolas, and later joined the swimming club of Marseilles, France. In 2007, he was the junior champion of France in the 50-meter freestyle event. In 2009, he joined the French Army and is currently in an artillery regiment. In 2022, Manaudou transitioned to competing for CN Antibes after formerly swimming only for the CN Marseille (CNM) swim club.^[2] As of 2023, he continues to compete for CN Marseille in contests such as the Belgian Open Swimming Championships.^[1]

He and his sister, Laure, are the first siblings to both win Olympic gold medals in swimming.

For his performance in 2012, Manaudou was awarded the Knight of the French National Order of the Légion d'Honneur in recognition of his "eminent merits" in swimming.^[3]

In September 2021, Manaudou announced his engagement to his then-girlfriend, Danish swimmer and Olympic gold medalist Pernille Blume.^[4]^[5] The following month, Manaudou was present in the audience to support Blume as she competed in the dancing competition Vild med dans.^[6] The couple called off their engagement at the end of 2023.

Swimming career

2011 World Championships

In his only individual event at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships in Shanghai, the 50-meter butterfly, Manaudou placed fifth in the final with a time of 23.49.^[7] It was slightly slower than the times he posted in the heats (23.31) and semifinals (23.32).^[8]^[9] Manaudou also competed in the heats of the 4×100-meter medley relay and as the butterfly leg, had a split of 54.02. The French team did not advance to the final with an overall time of 3:36.21.^[10]

2012 Summer Olympics

At the French Olympic Trials, Manaudou qualified for the 2012 London Olympics in London by finishing second behind Amaury Leveaux in the 50-meter freestyle with a time of 21.95. Despite entering the Olympics with only the 10th fastest time in the men's 50-meter freestyle in the world that year, Manaudou won the gold medal in that event (which was the only event he entered). He thus became the first French gold-medalist of the men's 50-meter freestyle and the sixth French Olympic champion in an individual event.^[11] Swimming in lane 7 in the final, Manaudou had a time of 21.34 seconds, finishing ahead of second-place finisher Cullen Jones and third-place finisher César Cielo, the defending champion and world record holder, to win the gold medal.^[12] Manaudou's time was slightly slower than the Olympic record of 21.30 set by Cielo in 2008, but was an unofficial fastest time swam in textile (that is, not wearing a high-tech suit). Going into the final, Manaudou recorded a time of 22.09 in the heats and 21.80 in the semifinals.^[13]^[14]

2012 Short Course Competitions

Following the Olympics, Manaudou competed at the 2012 European Short Course Championships and the 2012 World Short Course Championships held at the end of 2012. At the European Championships in Chartres, Manaudou won five gold medals including an individual title in the 50-meter freestyle with a time of 20.70.^[15] At the World Short Course Championships in Istanbul, Manaudou won one silver and bronze medal. In his specialty event, the 50-meter freestyle, Manaudou placed second behind Russian swimmer Vladimir Morozov (who he beat in Chartres) by three tenths of a second (0.33) with a time of 20.88.^[16]

2013 World Championships

At the 2013 World Aquatics Championships in Barcelona, Manaudou won gold in the 4×100-meter freestyle relay with Yannick Agnel, Fabien Gilot, and Jérémy Stravius. Swimming the second leg, Manaudou recorded a time of 47.93 while the French team had an aggregated time of 3:11.18. In the 50-meter freestyle, Manaudou lead the heats and semifinals with times of 21.72 and 21.37. In the final however, he finished 5th with a time of 21.64. Manaudou also competed in the 50-meter butterfly and finished 8th with a time of 23.35.

Only the top two finishers would qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games.
