László Cseh
Hungarian László Cseh is one of the most decorated swimmers in the history of our sport: six (6) Olympic medals, seventeen (17) World Championship medals, and forty-eight (48) European Championship medals.
Michael Phelps was his kryptonite. Cseh finished 2nd behind him in 3 events at the 2008 Olympics, earning 3 silver medals in the 200 IM, 400 IM, and 200 Fly.
In 2014, after a coaching change from György Turi to Zsolt Plagányi, his focus shifted to shorter events.
