    Susie is an Aussie legend and a true champ. She will always be "madame butterfly" in elite and competitive swimming.

    Thats the problem when you keep your feelings too much under control. They've gotta come out one day. She did Australia proud.

    If that doesn’t show how much the Aussie’s love their swimming, I don’t know what will. This woman spent over a decade not watching her race and this is her reaction. Love the passion Australia has for swimming. I gotta respect that.

    You can feel for Susie and she's one of my all time heroes ... But if you are a swimming tragic like me, you go back and look at Misty Hyman in the years leading up to 2000. Misty had a technique of doing long underwaters at each turn. In a 200m fly that is absolutely deadly. You would see Misty do these major long underwater turns, get the advantage of that, but die in the last lap because of the hellish oxygen debt. But the American stuck with that technique and she must've worked through the pain of hell to get herself to the point where she could finish that final lap under the unbelievable stress of what she put herself through, in every turn (and the start) of a 200 fly. I am definitely no fan of the American swimming team, but credit where credit is due. I love Susie, but Misty Hyman earnt ever ounce of her gold medal.

    This is the problem with all super competitors. All their marvelous victories mean nothing as compared the the heartbreak of an unexpected defeat.

    Misty Hyman was ranked 3rd in the world, I believe, in that event. So it wasn"t as if she was an unknown.

      but she usually died badly on the last lap, and some on the 3rd lap too. That was the surprise, she had a great finish which is unusual for her.

      @Ineddiblehulk 2 года назад +3

      She’d not lost a 200fly since 1994, and had been nigh untouchable, and was a proven performer under pressure. She was as close to a lock as you can get in sport. Misty just had a once in a lifetime swim.

    • @jackthrone5555
      @jackthrone5555 2 года назад

      Inediblehulk yeah but the 200 free win must have taken a lot out of her because I was sure she was going to break her own world record and like you said a certainty to win that 200 fly. Misty was 2.05.88 only 2nd fastest all time behind Susies mark

      @@jackthrone5555 Possibly. But hey - she picked up a gold for the 200 free, so i guess at that level you can't have everything - unless you're Emma McKeon ... You're right though - you have to have plenty in the tank for the 200 Fly. Especially when you consider they're swimming heats, semis and finals. Was the 200 Fly Misty Hyman's only event?
