#243 Student of the sport, Björn Seeliger, breaks down 18.27, backstroke, taper

1 hour 48 minutes

Björn Seeliger is a 22 year old Swedish Olympic sprinter. A sophomore at the University of California, he is fresh off winning the team title at NCAA's. Björn collected two silver medals in the 50 and 100 Freestyles just behind Brooks Curry. Leading off the 200 Free Relay, he dropped the 2nd fastest 50 SCY Free ever: 18.27. Oh, and the fastest 50 Backstroke (20.08) in history!

A student of the sport, Brett and Björn break down everything. How Ryan Murphy helped him perfect his backstroke start. What he's learned from Caeleb Dressel. And, of course, his 50 Free.

Enjoy!
