He was notorious for not training until the last minute. I think he smoked a lot of weed too. He was on Good Morning AMerica this week and seemed like he grew up quite a bit. I just loved those 50 meter races with Popov. I still find the 50 meters races the most exciting.

You Tube some of the Hall Popov 50 meter races. Popv won the majority. But the last OLY when Hall won was very exciting.
