One of the most dominating performances in swimming.
these make me so nostalgic. I remember being a little girl hovering over my box tv with quiet volume so my parents didn’t wake up. i used to dream of being on of these swimmers. the sound of the cheering, the announcer, that noise they hear before they hit the water. nothing matches it. i don’t aspire to be a swimmer anymore but i love watching these, specifically 2008 because of the nostalgia..
I'm better than him
When you look at the Olympics now all of these guys are an inch close to each other… This was something else!!! Massive respect to this guy he still owns this!
He's the GOAT 💯
What a beautiful turn and butterflykick!
Probably the greatest swimming performance of all time.
Perhaps the greatest race I have seen just look at the underwater damn hard !!!!!!
He's sooo freaking great!! He didnt even look like he was tired!
Michael is awesome 3rd gold,3rd WR WOW!!!
phelps is the most wonderful swimming player in the world.. He 's a genius of this field.
Phelps is the greatest swimmer in all time
Wish Ian Thorpe never retired so early. Him and Phelps would of had some awesome races in this event
Even though thorpie and hoogie werent in this to really push him, this is one of the greatest swims ive ever seen.
But ian thorpe not using medication😂
that´s his sickest world record
Lmao race was over at the 15m mark.
Can somebody upload with live commentary. This is only part of the most historical medal haul in Olympic history!!
Their stroke is so powerful that they move both almost instantly and glide for a breath. Only works if you have shoulders like that though, everyone else should stick to 3 breaths
You're missing the point. This is Phelps' 6th best individual event! and he's top 3 in the all time...
One could argue this is his 7th best event if you include the 200m backstoke...
well done! congratulations..
Jeesus! Biederman took like an extra second before he took off the blocks!
park did pretty nice
Красавчик! На все времена!
Lol at the commentator mentioning that Park Tae Hwan was the 400m Free World Champion from 2007, when he was Olympic Champion two days earlier.
this guy is not a swim commentator. he is a news reader.
i liked the way he said Jean Basson

if you expected him to swim as fast without the suit as he swam with it - you probably were the only one. Noone expected that this would be possible. of course you can say that he was "nowhere" afterwards, but then you have to admit that he shares that "nowhere" with phelps and co because - umm - they all were pretty equal since then and they are pretty equal right now.
siangham, he broke countless world records, and won countless gold medals. allow me to point out that beating records means he second to no other swimmer. not thorpe, or anyone else. you compare him to himself years ago without considering the training and improvements he's made to his ability. phelps in undoubtedly the best whether you like it or not. he won golds he got records. that, my friend, is the end.
Agree. In my country (Asia-Oceania) we get good commentators during the Olympics swimming which include Anthony Mosse from New Zealand (ex-200m butterflyer). Very neutral. Eurosport is good as well. This i think is a local american sportsnews, so its fair to be biased...just like any otehr local sportnews..they will always be biased and skewed to their own side.
his opening leg on the 4*100 relay was 47.51 which ranks him 3rd all time (behind sullivan and bernard) in the individual event - one he does not compete in internationally.
end
thanks. Undulations.....cool.
look how hard he pushes off the wall on the last turn
He broke his own record at 2012.
no he didn't
I do not think Phelps will ever swim a 200m freestyle this fast again.
The underwater dolphin kick revolutionised swimming into a new hright. I think Phelsp and COughlin (in female) are the best underwater kickers. Its folly for other swimmers to NOT train this new method. Laszlo Cseh did this in 200butterfly and see how fast he went (1;52 compared to 1:57 last time). Swimmers must now concentrate on their underwater kick now to get close (not necessarily beat) to Phelps.
you've just stopped arguing and started agreeing with me. Well done son.
@jammerakwaii
where is Biedermann? mmh, just 0.09 s (=close) behind Phelps and 0.44s behind Lochte and if the race would have been just a little longer he would at least have caught Phelps (his last lane was second fastest of the whole field - apart from Park) - you can see how much he came up on the last lane: at 40 m to go Lochte was leading by a body length compared to Biedermann. Besides, in an interview before the race, Bowman said, Michael was in very good shape.
우리나라를 깔보지마라 ... 불가능이란없는법이다..대한민국에 불가능이란 없다..우리도 할수있다
LOL...my mistake..double faults..thnx dodo
there called Undulations not dolphin kicks
Not everyone's here for Michael Phelps...
KOREAN PRIDE!
park tai-wan? that's hillarious
look´s like every 1 arm stroke for phelps, is 2 or 3 arm strokes for the rest.
@cartmansuperstar Well, Phelps still managed to win individual gold medals from this month's World Championship for both 100 and 200 fly. And the race between him and Lochte in 200 Free was close and to think Phelps is not yet on top condition. If Beiderman is that good, where is he now? Let's face it, Beiderman was only a threat when he had that suit. Period.
I don't know what was up with Biedermann but his start was so slow? 0:35
Valentulous he is 2009 world champion right?
@tomm4712 its cause your from australlia and u may or may not be used to our accents u may have this problem too with canadians :P
Oh God the boy is high on this..
To be honest Michael Phelps is much better looking when he is in swimming gear. Just my observation I don't mean anything.
maybe a stupid question but why was he in lane 6?
Thorpe, Van Hoogenbamd in 2004 would never beat this 23yr old 2008 Phelps...
"Using his patented flip turn" is this dude serious.
so according to this comment, noone but phelps exists.
he aint a fish, he's a shark
@cartmansuperstar If Beiderman starts winning 8 Olympic Gold medals then let's continue this conversation. LOL. Face it Beiderman managed to break that WR because of the suit. Look what happened to this race, he WAS NOWHERE, until he had that suit. Phelps managed to win both the 100 and 200 FLY without the suit at this month's World Championship. Of course Bowman will say that, as no excuses for them if he doesn't do well.
not all american commentators are horrible, but this guy certainly is
Ok maybe its true that this race was over in the beginning but why did you have to say that?
@EthanBranden dude, i really dont care about accents, and im not even going to go into who 'owns' the sport of swimming... but listen to this guy. phelps' 'patented' flip turn where he actually goes DEEPER?! wow, revolutionary. no wonder michael has a patent on that. no disrespect to phelps, amazing how he does what he does, but the commentator... considering its not even live, he could of done a better job
How good would phelps be in freestyle if he only focused on the freestyle and nothing else?
this cannot be the real commentator.
phelps had the sharks skin... i know that. sharks skin makes us swim fastier..
i thought it was better to swim every 3 strokes not 2?
@jammerakwaii
didn´t doubt that he broke the world record due to the suit. and didn´t doubt that phelps is the more complete and successful swimmer. I´m just tired of that biedermann-bashing, saying he is a "nobody". In the 200 free he´s swimming at the same level as phelps right now - be it, because Phelps is exhausted for competing in many other events or not -we don´t know. Besides if Phelps wants to be able to win gold in 8 different events, he has to take that into account.
Hey, You're A Natural. impartial selection What's happening, guys. !!!
i wish Park Tae Hwan won!!
Biedermann cant even go below 1:44:00 without his magic suit
펠프스 나 혼자 수영선수다 찍네 ㅎ
@EthanBranden Hey, leave us (Canadians) outta this !
Wow I takes me 2:44 to swim a 200m
Pia port launch lsn
Look at Paul Biedermann at lane 2, he was nothing here :)
His freestyle is a little different in the sense that he goes 1..2........1..2....... etc and then his flipturn is just plain odd.
lol i was thinking the same thing
I have swum in a relay with him. It was intimidating.
gg
@lexsoft
that´s because phelps cheated by wearing a bathing cap...biedermann would have smashed him otherwise..
@tomm4712 yea but i looked and ur australlian ur not used to our accent pleus u mite be lil mad that americans own the sport of swimming jsut like the australlians USED TO....
eh?
Uhm @lexsoft Look At him today 200 Free World Record Nuff Said :P
patented flip turn?
Lol 100m yard.This guy is surely american!!!
0:01 is this guy drinking a coke??
So what if he is...?
Phelps swims the first 50 and the comentator is (and basically at this point the race is over) i lold
@cartmansuperstar LOL. Beidermann cheated also by wearing an illegal suit just to break that WR. What happened after FINA banned that suit? Well, he was nowhere with his questionable WR. Last month's World Championship Phelps beat Beirdermann in a fair game. Did he smashed Phelps? HAH! Delusional.
is it just me or does anyone else think american sports commentators are irritating?
Not stupid, just irritating. American accents though, nothing can change that.
Last turn was terrible and still got the WR han?
u think u know about swim?? u idiot..
he did magnificient turn and dolphin kick. you never know why it is.
phelps did say "that game is the most remarkable game in my life"
+100613s auhauh not really, he was at his best on the underwater kick in 2007..Melbourne, check that..
What he did there was kinda ugly if you compare..
Guy was high as fuck due to steroids too..
+Rod Natwick did you just reply to yourself?😂😂
+Freddie Whybrow oh..
this isn't how the commentators are at all. the commentary on this is douchey and annoying. i wish they just uploaded the original
I'm not arguing. The evidence is patently obvious.
Go be a keyboard warrior on someone elses time...
most boring commentator ever
펠프스선수 은퇴....박태환의 금메달리스트 재시작
