The craziest part is that he's not even surprised.
Well, maybe at first he only knew he won, not that he also broke a WR.
Plot twist: he actually got a better time on his trainings (?
not sure if thats a twist but ok
He knew the suit made him faster than he already was. Or is that not one of those world record suit thingies?
Xandria NLR If you looked it up you'd know they were banned after Beijing.
I didn't realise they allowed fish into the Olympics.
Nice humour
All 6ft + olympic swimmers look like sharks
@@johncener6917 Ik right
Aquaman
@@francismoriba9963 dude there humans
To be fair, I think the opponents should be allowed to run beside the pool.
hahahahahaha… thats fair for them :)
lol

they wouldn't win because they'd slip and die

His turns are flawless and his technique is perfect. Michael Phelps is one of the greatest athletes (yes, ATHLETES) of all-time.
He IS the greatest athlete of all time
***** Who's better in their field then he is
+Richard Reuter Ever watched table tennis? Or badminton? Or Basket in the 90's?
Ajith Kanniah Do they have 18 gold medals in the Olympics? I'm guessing no. Tell me if anyone in any of those fields dominated for 16 YEARS STRAIGHT. Once again I'm guessing no. Do any of those people hold 6 world records? I'm guessing no.
Ajith Kanniah Yeah I was just being facetious with the gold medal thing lol
you know he is the GOAT when he looks at the other swimmers before they finish
He’s not a goat he’s a fish
MEGA FACTS
SOID! CORRECT! THE! (O-M-EGA)!!! MAN! MICHAEL!!! PHELPS!!! IS! THE! (G,O,A,T/OLY-M-PIAN/SWIM-MER)!!!
He not a fish nor a goat,he’s the holy grail*
no matter what people say about him being cocky, there is no defence to how amazing this guy is at swimming.
its talent.
ya
I didn’t realize how old this vid is until I saw this comment
@@majorsherk5055 Same
It's hardwork
oh hello there
1:57 what kind of magic!!
🤩🤩
magic
😂😂😂😂
Took my first swimming class today and almost died. Looking at Michael Phelps afterwards is insane.
You can do it 💪🏼
Same bro same
How is your swimming now? Started my swimming this week. I can fully understand what you mean 😅
The rest are basically just competing for the silver 😂
Lol 😆 nice sense of humor 🤣
Can't agree further 🤣🤣✅
Lol
Michael Phelps is already dry before his opponents finish swimming.
After 11 years, he was still the greatest athlete of Olympic
Its Usain Bolt
@@franciscoespejo767 nah he didn’t win that much ngl
@angelsxaesthetic9147 He is the most successful sprinter ever so I’d say he did win a lot lol. But I’d also say Phelps is greater
@@angelsxaesthetic9147 bolt won 8 gold medals in a row. it is just that swimming has more medals than any other sport
Beautiful underwater!!!
His dolphin kick was amazing!!!
" Swimming is normal for me. I'm relaxed. I'm comfortable, and I know my surroundings. It's my home. " ~ Michael Phelps
So he's basically a fish lol
Kinda same but im no Phelps😅
Just keep swimming just keep swimming just keep swimming swimming swimming swimming
This made my day :)
one swimming too many
Michael Sattler doryyyyyyyy
He has short term memory loss.
Superwoman
His ability on the turns is absolutely insane. This guy went straight to human from fish.
The kind of guy to pull off one swim cap to have another underneath
Dual wield caps
called double capping, for speed and comfort
Lmao i didnt even notice
2 caps hurts so bad😣😣
Lucky for these opponents he only put on two in this race.
Having witnessed Bolt and Phelps together during my childhood was just FANTASTIC!
His dolphin kicks are a masterpiece. His underwater swimming at the turns gave him all these gold metals! Well done Michael! You are an idol!!!
Exactly
I just read about the underwater stuff and undulation. Apparently it is so overpowered that they have limited it to the first 15 meters only
@@Henrix1998 wow I didn’t know this information. Thanks for sharing! After 2 years you reminded me my comment 😄
@@Henrix1998 I saw a video of a pro swimmer (can’t remember the name) who intentionally dolphin kicked the entire way underwater, in a backstroke race. So he did it with his face, facing the ceiling. But anyways.. he basically destroyed everyone by miles lol and then got DQ’d. I’d be interested to see how fast swimmers can go if they were allowed to do this.
@@Henrix1998 15m limit for other strokes but not for freestyle. That's why it's called freestyle..only thing limiting Phelps going further underwater here is oxygen levels.
2008 Olympics is one of the best ever. Phelps, Bolt, USA Basketball, etc..
Lin dan, you know him if you are a badminton fan. He was a magician ..
And Fedal!
@@shubhammohapatra1582 yes👍
I still say this is his most dominant performance at any Olympics. It is unheard of for a guy to win the 200m free by 2 seconds. Simply unreal. It almost makes me wish he chose to swim the 400m free as well. I wonder if he could've won the gold in that event. I know he already had an unbelievably heavy load with his 8 events, but it really makes me wonder.
Popovici win at the europeans by 2 seconda.He has 1.42.97 almost like phelps(0.01 ms)
I can beat him no prob. Me-"mom get the motor boat"
Lol
😂😂
CCproductions TCC lol 😂😂😂😂
Everyone's motorboated their mum..
Man I died laughing!
You can see just how much of a beast he was from that start alone. 10 seconds in and already a good half body length in front of the field. If we ever see someone as dominant as him again i will be shocked
It is hard to tell the athletes apart when they are in their swimming suits, at least you know Phelps is the guy in front
his turns are amazing. he goes deeper than everyone and I think that's his key
I spot that
underwaters are NOT swimming
@@jimc6054 you telling me fish don't swim?
Ironically, It gives him more momentum. While the other swimmers face more resistance but flipping near the surface.
1:29 he is going far deeper than others 😱😱
S
probably to balance upper body/lower body
So magnificent to watch
He does that so he can do more underwater dolphin kicks after the turn. You are allowed up to 15 meters of subkicks after each turn. Going deeper helps you stay underwater longer and makes you go faster. If he didn't go as deep, he'd surface too quickly. I wish there was a 50 meter underwater dolphin kick event in the olympics. Those times would be crazy. It's probably not an event for safety reasons. Training for an event like that could be dangerous.
@@boblangford5514 omg you have explained it nicely
Jesus! his turns go sooooo deep, what a legend
No one has replied to you expect me after 13 years
I replied
@@nigahigafan2323 yes
facts
Undoubtedly he is the greatest olympian ever! Period.
Used to swim competitively and I remember watching film on Phelps and lochte. Phelps was just brilliant in the water.
bro his underwater harmonics are flawless- HOW DOES HE DO THAY
This makes me feel like a horrible swimmer lmao
you're :)
Why? He’s literally the greatest swimmer of all time, you shouldn’t compare yourself to that. He’s a freak of nature.
This should motivate u, not make u feel bad lol bad mindset
@@chichan3956 shut up please
me too
i got 39 seconds in 50m and i am already 11 years old
the human dolphin at it again...
dolphins are slower
@@Respirate r/woosh
@@Respirate the sarcasm passed over your head you dumbass*
For the people that didn't know, he swam this race 175m blind because his goggles filled up with water.. what a respect
Nathan de Veer You're thinking of the 200m fly
Thats 200 fly ... this is 200 free
I freaking hate when that happens.
not the 200 free
he swam the 200 fly blind
Nathan de Veer no he didn't. How can u say that
I wish my dolphin kick looked like that... I looks like a dying fish when I do it lmao
Emilia Lily my stomach flops and I just feel uncomfortable
And then there’s me who doesn’t know how to swim
The guy just simply dominates.
not anymore
What A Time 2 Be Alive Being Able 2 Witness Phelps & Bolt‼️🇺🇸
He totally nailed it! 😃
0:37 Did you all see that Biedermann completely missed the start?
Oh yeah.. looked like he was gonna topple over before the guy said “take your marks” too!
And he was swimming whitout the cap
The one thing that amazes me is that he took the biggest underwater time that what made him win WHATTA LEGEND 😍
IDK how the spectators were all so calm. I would have been jumping up and down and cheering at the top of my lungs😅😅
here many years later
I feel bad for the others who had to compete with this monster on that day
Well Joseph schooling did beat him
The funniest part is that he didn’t just beat it, he full on smacked it
L' ho sempre ammirato. Una meraviglia di atleta.... lo avrei visto con la Pellegrini....ma, dal punto di vista atletico perche' ha una splendida moglie. Una meraviglia.
That was really good to watch. He has a bit of a different style, but his turns and underwaters are just excellent.
I like how there are no tv announcers it kind of feels like your in the crowd watching.
No matter what people says he’s the idol of every swimmer and he will always be 💜came back here cause I missed swimming which used to be my everything
Phelps bolt .. Made these olympics special♥️
This guy's always been an inspiration
Why does it look satisfying?
Best athlete of all time period!! The legend!!
His underwater was priceless.... absolutely flawless💯🤩
Phelps is a legend. I remember watching him compete and forgot how incredibly fast he was.
I remember switching from biathlons to triathlons, and realizing I wasn't in shape at all, swimming is a whole other level of fitness, but master swimming and it will change your body competely. Dam I still get goosebumps watching Phelps, just a beast, and always in beast mode.
Wow, that is really impressive! He just keeps on swimming even though he is seconds ahead of the others...
THIS SO BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH
I love micheal phelps ❤❤❤
He is like a motor boat
AMAZING!
Props to the cameraman who flew up to the ceiling to record this.
Such dominance, made America watching proud af! Phelps is a stud!
Most decorative Olympian EVER. Awesome.
When they say swimming isn’t a sport
Go Phelps!
Phelps & Bolt are the only two athletes to ever to dominate their sport with such a significant margin over 2nd, 3rd and the rest. Genuine 🐐s
Lovely Phelps Sir 🔥🙏❤️
His freestyle is so great looking
Who's Here after Michael Phelps new Under Armour AD !!!
His turns were absolutly insane. Before that race freestyle swimmers normally dolphin kicked the first 4-5 meters, but Phelps used the whole 12,5m at every turn - insane.
Underwaters aren’t real swimming.
Teacher thinks I’m watching this Lolz 0:08
This guy is a fish
Minha inspiração esse cara
Greatest Olympian of all time
Swimming: Hi dad
Miachel Phelps : hi
I can beat him but he has to swim without his hands and feet and I need to be on the ground running.
Wow!! You're true legend
Lol
😂
Fr🤣💯
The teacher expects of me to learn, But I’m not!😂🎉
Hahahah 🎉 cheers to that brudda he will never find out 🥂
The most chill reaction to breaking the WR. Probably thinking “Just another PB” 😂
Watching this makes me happy
👀👀👀👀👀👀Phelps is a BEEEASTTT!!!!!!
Молодец Майкл Фелпс. Такие награды на олимпиаде как у него, врядли кто-нибуть повторит . Легенда плавания
He's so calm
Phelps era bizarro, lembro dele na minha infância, ganha tudo o que disputava. 😮
These people swim faster than most can walk
And I'm sitting here doing a 200 Free in like 3 minutes if lucky X3
+thepersonwhohasnovideos Yo me doing it at 3 and a 40 sec if lucky bro
+키2더락 my best is 2 16
Lol haha. I just checked my times and gosh darn it I'm slow -.-
3.00.07
One of my friends on the swim team is younger than me and still faster. One of my friends in AG3 is the same age and much much faster. Ugh.
My problem is really just that I can't get my arms right. My coach told me to push the water back with my forearms but I just can't do it for some reason DX
Welp, g' luck on all of your events or practices. c:
This is my second year swimming and I went a 2:19 I also had appendix surgery so I would be swimming a low 2 minute now if I continued I only swam that once in the beginning of the year.
hows your progress?
Wow! Great talent of Phelps...
What is interesting in this race is that Paul Biedermann couldn't even come close to Phelps, yet, a year after that course, he broke the-still standing-world record in Rome. Great improvement within a year.
That's because he (and a lot of others) started wearing supersuits around this period.. i think Beidermann dropped 4 seconds of his time by wearing one within a year.. crazy how they completely changed swimming.. no wonder they banned them.. Phelps never believed in them and never wore one.. that's how Beidermann beat him in the 200m at Rome world championships (i think?)
Park Taehwan was a good sport. You can see him shake Phelps' hand at the end.
It is just impressive of how much of physical condition they gotta prepare for. My respects for these swimmers. I can barely swim 20ft and I'm about to explode 😆.
very great, tough, and technical swimmer who win with so big lead.......Michael Phelps........swimmer of this century....
No way this guy Phelps is human.He is a fish in a human body suit!
Indeed the GOAT athlete ❤️
I was a swimmer in high school, but compared to these guys I was a floating log.
This guy is a good athlete!
He could be a great swimmer one day.
one of MP's greatest performances !
To think, we witnessed possibly both the greatest swimmer and sprinter ever at the same time dominate their disciplines.
Funny thing is I read his goggles malfunctioned and he was basically swimming blindly
Not the 200fc. It was in the 200fly
Not in this race, he did it in the 200 FLY not free
That is some god speed swimming right there
i love you michael phelps
Yes
cuando el trabajo duro vence al talento (Y)
This guy is good, he can really swim. He should consider joining the olympics.
The joke ain't even make sense cause he is at the Olympics... if he was just at a random pool doing this for fun then you can say it
@@kadijahmcintosh1055 The joke is literally that’s he’s already at the Olympics, it went completely over your head
@@kadijahmcintosh1055 LMAO THE JOKE WAS THAT HE WAS IN THE OLYMPICS
@@TheTheTheTheTheThe I know I’m saying this is not the time to say those jokes I know he is 1 of the greatest athletes of all time.. So if he was like on jimmy fallon show doing swimming or something then that joke would make sense but it dong really make no sense if he is already at the Olympics😶
@@fwwxeno 😐
I just realized the three greatest legends all have the same first name Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan and the greatest of the three Michael Jackson. Besides usain bolt he is an animal
Cristiano is goat
I remember watching this live as a kid and just thinking "Look how far out in front he is, this guy is not human" wow, what a different level of athleticism.
