For those people who say that black people cant swim, look at african american olympic swimmers. Just because some of us dont swim, doesnt mean that we cant or that we're afraid. Im black and I even taught myself how to swim, since i was very young. So next time you say that black people are afraid, or we cant, show some proof.
African's are built different, so it makes it harder for them to swim competitively. Although Cullen Jones did get silver, it is just a bit harder for them to swim fast.
It is actually biological - Caucasoid & Mongoloid 'builds' are more suited to swimming - More streamlined as our pelvic muscles make the run from our back to our bums less pronounced, generally narrower at the hip... Also lighter bones, African-Americans have a higher bone mass/weight. Just like Blacks are built with an advantage for sprinting, non-blacks genetic make-up is advantageous for swimming. Of course that is all general, all individual cases are different. Ignore the retards saying "blacks can't swim" or "whites can't jump"... Enith Brigitha (amazing black Dutch swimmer) and Jonathan Edwards (white man who has jumped further than anybody in history) would have something to say to them.
king won easily, meilutyte only 7th, people forget that meilutyte had a broken arm and now has a metal bar in her hand she wont win anything ever again.
All these people winning gold medals at the Olympics(ahem Phelps) and then there's me throwing popcorn into the air and catching it In my mouth yes this is my achievement don't judge me.
The officials made the best of a bad situation. They did the correct thing in having all the girls reset completely. And also testing the starting device. It would have been unfair had they not done so.
I am proud of being Lithuanian. Rūta has written the name of our country in the history and I hope that future generations will watch this video and feel the same feeling as I feel right now. You are an inspiration and an example for the whole nation. Keep going! Vardan tos Lietuvos!
My swim coach used to say "If you wanna sit on the lane lines, go win a gold medal at the Olympics!" and now every time they do that, I think about how there must be some kid inside of them feeling pretty good about getting to do that.
Amazing Ruta! Your time is incredible. 15 years old and wins a gold medal. This is a reflection of your participation in BCN 2013. ¡ Two world records! ¡Wow! Congratulations from Spain
That was not a false the start the buzzer went and she dove in and I was wondering why the commentators were like "she's disqualified "and everything tbh it was the buzzers fault it went off to early. 🏊
+Basem Magd It's not that. She had an AWFUL start. She was already over a meter behind Meilutyte 5 seconds into the race, which is a good 0.6 second deficit.
If I was the girl who jumped in during the technical difficulties I would have started to cry. God bless her
the start sound actually played tho
This nearly happened to me at a important gala and I nearly cried omg i would actually die if I false started
she should have been disqualified
@@iancu_de_hunedoara the buzzer did go off on take your marks! She shouldn't be disqualified there was problems with the start sound.
Fk
She’s just 15...what am i doing with my life?
She was also doping. Just retired post three missed drug tests.

even Lithuanias president watched it live in london

I'm not so sure Yuliya Efimova still has a strong chance (even though she is a drug cheat)

she is the pride of Lithuania, bringing the first gold medal ever for this country.

Awesomerat its not just Africans its everybody. Everybody is made built different
jillian Reid Haha I mean how black's muscles and fat are made up. I know everyone is built different, but Africans are not exacly built for swimming.
Calm down you own most sports and you age slowly. Don't be greedy.

Lithuanian means a person from Lithuania so its all correct. Russia -Russian, poland - polish etc..
The moment you realize that Lithuania President was siting in the audience :D
Lilly King went a 1:05:20 at Olympic trials finals USA. Who do you think will win this year? King or Meilutyte
Hard to say, King yet to perform on biggest stage. May well take a 1:04 to win (tho I don't care who gets it, just wanna see fast times :)
JMott76 That's true. Ruta Meilutyte has the WR in the this event, set in 2013. I think its a 1.04.3 so almost a second faster than King's time
Meilutyte in kazan 2015 went a 1:05:64 but she will win in rio 2016 if she Retrieve her level in barcelona 2013
king won easily, meilutyte only 7th, people forget that meilutyte had a broken arm and now has a metal bar in her hand she wont win anything ever again.
Meilutyte is just 19 years she won gold at age 15 years she will recover she will get a long bright career in the future with more gold medals

Good job
I dont understand the false start. The alarm sounded whats the problem?
Good
Nice swim!!!!
Goood swimming
Idk if its limited to the breastroke. All women's swimming is fairly populated by younger swimmers.
Yes the female commentator jumped to conclusions before she even knew the facts of Larsons false start. Wish people wouldn't do that.
The swimming is cool

I remember sitting that day in front of my TV with my friends and praying all gods that Ruta would win ;D
Thanks to the Olympics I fell in love with a girl (Ruta) who I have nothing in common with...
The non medalists 0.02 def between 4th to 7th : 6.93 - 6.95 - 6.96 - 6.98
I can’t wait to see the 2022 winter Olympic Games events and the 2024 summer Olympic Games events in Paris France 🇫🇷
Soni picked up her speed too late.
+Basem Magd It's not that. She had an AWFUL start. She was already over a meter behind Meilutyte 5 seconds into the race, which is a good 0.6 second deficit.

Btw I live in the U.S., so yea I wanted so I to win.. But it's nice to see young guns win it too
Ruta is the best.
