Fake Sprinter, 50 back World Record Holder Kira Toussaint


Listen Later

Recorded before her recent 50m Backstroke European Champion title, Dutch swimmer Kira Toussaint joins The Social Kick.

The short course 50m Backstroke world record holder jumps into her race strategy and mindset with us, commenting on the ISL and how her world record came to be. As well as explaining the creation of and reason behind her underwater kick and top arm pull out.

Often called a ‘fake sprinter’ by her training group, Kira talks about her 200m races and the external motivation that goes with them.

Top tip: don’t bet against Kira Toussaint! With a stacked 100m backstroke field and a lack of 50m races at the Olympics, Kira is intent on showing her talent this summer and beyond by using her full brain capacity and focusing on what’s important.

She trains to race, and she races to win, enjoy our Social Kick with Kira Toussaint!
