Camille Lacorte, a top French swimmer, is a strong contender for the gold in the 100m backstroke at the London Olympics. At 29, he has a remarkable track record, including a European championship and a shared gold at the World Championships in Shanghai. He faces tough competition from American Matt Grevers, who has the fastest time this year and Olympic experience, having won silver in Beijing. Lacorte is also a prominent figure in France, with several commercial contracts, though his public profile has previously caused distractions. In 2012, his focus is entirely on winning gold.
