#269 Cullen Jones talks sprinting, Marsh, Cielo, & MP
About this episode
Cullen Jones is a 2x Olympian and 4x Olympic medalist (2 G, 2 S). Individually, he captured Silver in the 50 Free behind Flo Manaudou in 2012. He was also part of THE relay -- the one where Lezak caught Bernard and touched him out at the 2008 Olympics. That World Record is still intact.
Now a Senior Manager of Sports Marketing at Speedo, Cullen is enjoying retired life while raising his son alongside his wife.
