The Top-10 Inside With Brett Hawke Podcasts of 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inside with\u00a0Brett Hawke\u00a0<\/strong>has become a can’t-miss podcast that catches up with some of the biggest names in the sport. Led by Brett Hawke, who swam at Auburn and represented Australia at two Olympic Games, the podcast looks at iconic moments and rivalries, among other storylines.\u00a0Hawke gave us his top 10 podcasts of 2020, topped by the Russian rocket Alexander Popov<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

10. Michael Klim<\/strong><\/p>\n

Klim took time out of his schedule to sit with fellow Australian Olympian\u00a0Brett Hawke<\/strong>\u00a0and discussed a variety of topics on the Inside with Brett Hawke Podcast. Hawke conducted a superb interview with Klim, chatting with his former Aussie teammate about a variety of topics \u2013 from moving from Poland to Australia, to his struggles at the 1996 Olympics to the\u00a0iconic 4×100 freestyle relay victory<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 and defeat of the United States \u2013 that Klim jumpstarted at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.<\/p>\n

During his career, Klim ranked as one of the world\u2019s elite freestylers and butterflyers, earning six Olympic medals along the way. His leadoff leg of 48.18 on the Aussie 400 freestyle relay at the 2000 Olympics enabled Australia to hand the United States its first loss in the event in Olympic history. More, Klim was the star of the 1998 World Championships in Perth, where he captured seven medals, including titles in the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly. That competition also yielded a silver medal in the 100 freestyle and a bronze in the 50 freestyle, and the fact that Klim medaled in three freestyle distances and the 100 fly demonstrated his range.<\/p>\n
