Men's 1500m Freestyle – 1976 Montreal Olympics – Brian Goodell Breaks World Record
Gold Medal - USA Brian Goodell 15:02.40
Silver Medal - USA Bobby Hackett 15:03.91
Bronze Medal - AUS Stephan Holland 15:04.66
One of the greatest distance races of all time. All three medalists finished under the existing world record, which Goodell had set at the U.S. Trials a month prior.
All three also split under Bobby Hackett's existing world record in the 800m freestyle (8:01.54) on the last 800 meters of the race. In fact, Goodell's final 800 of 7:56.9 was the first time a swimmer had broken the eight-minute-barrier over that distance (though it didn't count as a world record because it was swum at the end of the race).
All three medalists were also teenagers - Holland was 18, Goodell w...

    This was a classic race. I remember watching it on television and even though it was 15 minutes I didn't budge. Of course, the expectation was that the 15 minute barrier would be broken that night. However, it wouldn't be until four years later when Vladimir Salnikov, who was in this race, would finally break that barrier.

    Золотая медаль - США Брайан Гуделл 15:02.40 Серебряная медаль - США Бобби Хэкетт 15:03.91 Бронзовая медаль - AUS Стефан Холланд 15:04.66 Одна из величайших гонок на длинные дистанции всех времен. Все три медалиста финишировали ниже существующего мирового рекорда, который Гуделл установил на испытаниях в США месяцем ранее. Все трое также уступили существующему мировому рекорду Бобби Хакетта на дистанции 800 метров вольным стилем (8:01,54) на последних 800 метрах забега. Фактически, последние 800 метров Гуделла с результатом 7:56,9 были первым случаем, когда пловец преодолел восьмиминутный барьер на этой дистанции (хотя это не считалось мировым рекордом, поскольку он был проплыв в конце забега). Все три медалиста также были подростками: Холланду было 18, Гуделлу 17, а Хакетту 16 лет. Фактически, по состоянию на март 2021 года результат Хакетта 15:03,91 является национальным рекордом возрастной группы США для детей 15-16 лет, несмотря на то, что он проплыл забег без технического костюма и очков. Стефан Холланд, хотя и финишировал лишь бронзовым, все равно должен считаться одним из величайших пловцов на длинные дистанции за всю историю. Он самый молодой мужчина, когда-либо побивший индивидуальный мировой рекорд по плаванию (в 15 лет и 2 месяца) с того момента, когда в 1973 году он побил мировой рекорд на дистанции 1500 метров более чем на четырнадцать секунд. Он также был первым пловцом, преодолевшим 15:50, 15:40, 15:30 и 15:20 на дистанции 1500 м вольным стилем.

    I had been a NYC swimmer my whole life. While I reached my peak around age 10, I continued to swim for Flushing Y in Queens and Fordham Prep in the Bronx. Must have been my senior year at Fordham, 1973-74, Bobby shows up. Big, tall freshman, but just looking like any other big kid. Then practice starts. He swam like nobody I had ever seen. Doing 50 second 100's in practice. He kicked like no swimmer I had ever even imagined could. He was a swimming machine! From start to finish, he swam, he swam fast, I mean, he swam really fast, every lap. And maybe that's it, he wasn't swimming like the rest of us, he seemed like an actual power boat. We swam, he powered through the water. Relentlessly. What was he, 14? Holly schmolly, man alive! What a joy to have witnessed him up close.

      Also the last time a swimmer from the US won a gold in a fully contested Olympics until Bobby Fink won gold in Tokyo. BTW, when Mike O'Brien won gold at the 1984 games he didn't compete against the Soviet Bloc swimmers, including Salnikov, due to the boycott that year.

    From 1972-1976, the world record in this event dropped about 50 seconds. Today, 44 years later, the record has dropped 31 seconds from Goodell's performance in Montreal. Goodell, Hackett, and Holland should be revered for taking distance swimming to the next level. This race represented no less than the culmination of a paradigm shift in distance swimming. Ironically, if Hackett would've pushed the pace more, the 15 minute barrier probably would've been eclipsed on that day. Imagine what they could've done in this era of improved technique, advanced swimsuit technology, and modern strength training and nutrition. Special Note: Although he scored what was considered a disappointing bronze, Steve Holland was largely responsible for the massive time drop from 1972-1976. He is the swimmer who knocked a full 15 seconds off of 1972 Olympic champion Mike Burton's mark. From there, the Americans---Tim Shaw, Brian Goodell, & Bobby Hackett---chased Holland. From 1973-1976, Steve Holland broke the 1500 meter freestyle record 4 times, starting at 15:37 and then taking it all the way down to 15:10. During that time, Tim Shaw broke the record twice, with Holland taking it back both times. Prior to the 1976 Olympics, Brian Goodell broke the world record once, taking it from Holland during the U.S Olympic trials slightly less than a month before this race.

    • @distanceswimmer
      @distanceswimmer 4 года назад

      Yeah, Hackett swam a very strategic race, which probably cost all three of them the chance at the fifteen-minute barrier, but probably also won him the silver over Holland. It was the only 1500 that Hackett ever negative split over his whole career. One statistic really stands out to me when talking about how distance swimming was evolving during that four-year period. At the '76 U.S. Olympic Trials, ELEVEN swimmers went faster than Mike Burton's Olympic gold and WR time from just FOUR years before. ELEVEN different swimmers! Just incredible. (Fun fact, one of those eleven swimmers was the legendary Jesse Vassallo who went 15:31 at just 14-years of age.)

    • @Gregsmith1
      @Gregsmith1 4 года назад

      @@distanceswimmer I believe both Hackett's 15:03 and Vassallo's 15:31 still stand as American age group records. Indeed, Hackett's strategy was very smart. Neither Goodell nor Hartloff, his American teammates, knew he was going to do that. Goodell and Hackett had superior speed compared to Holland. All they had to do was be in striking distance with a decent tank of fuel left over in the last few hundred meters. Holland's chance was to go out quicker, and hold metronomic 59+s. He was capable of that, as he possessed a highly unusual and advanced aerobic capacity, but it didn't happen.

      @@Gregsmith1 wait? Goodell and Hackett had SUPERIOR speed compared to Stephen Holland? Then how can you state that when its a fact that at least twice, from my recollection of reading old Swimming Worlds from the early to mid 70's that I purchased (i was born in '69), Holland actually broke the 800 free WR record going OUT in his mile, that usually was also a WR when he would break the standing 800 free record going out? I thought that both he and YES Hackett were considered to usually be known more as the so called rabbits in this racing distance, but name one time that Goodell broke the 800 record going out in the mile? Also, internationally speaking in terms of the 200 free- the shortest of the middle distances, Hackett is the only one of those 3 you mention who won a gold medal- as a relay leg in the US winning 800 relay at the '78 Worlds. I would buy into your assessment in this race in particular if you stated that Goodell and Hackett by far displayed the best endurance back half speed. Don't we think of sprints relating to "speed" and long distance relating to "endurance"? I'm just confounded by that conclusion in an otherwise brilliant display of that distance swimming/record breaking history between 72-76.

      @Gregsmith1 3 года назад

      @@Parker528 Goodell's back half in this race was 7:57. He won the 400 in 3:51+. Holland was in the same 400 final. His time was 3:57. Holland was purely an aerobic athlete. He could lock into a pace forever, but didn't have the body strength of Goodell and Hackett to switch to a different sprinting gear, as illustrated in the last 100 meters. His shot was to take it out faster, and hold on. If he would've done that, I believe this race probably would've been decided under the 15:00 mark. Indeed, as you noted, Holland broke the 800 mark a few times in the years leading up to Montreal, but it started in the range of 8:17, and then gradually went down to around 8:02. Hackett broke Holland's 800 record at the 1976 Olympic trials in 8:01. As noted, all Hackett & Goodell had to do was remain close. They had superior speed, and used it correctly in this race.
