César Cielo is one of swimming's greatest sprinters of all time. At the 2008 Olympics, he won the 50 Freestyle and scored Bronze in the 100 Free after barely qualifying for the Final.

He didn't lose much after that. César won World titles in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. He won everything there is to win.

At the 2009 World Championships in Rome, César set the World Records in both the 50 and the 100 Freestyles. His 50 record is still intact.
