    Long glide into the finish. One more stroke and he goes sub-3:40 and it'd be the longest-standing WR in swimming.

    We all know this should still be the world record.

      No we don't. Just as Paul Biederman wore a suit breaking this record, Thorpe is wearing a high tech suit here. When Thorpe made a come back in 2011 he didn't where his famous black suit. This is because it was banned like Bidermans suit now is.

      Thorpe’s suit was “permeable”. Suits from 08-09 were either polyurethane coated or neoprene based. Big difference!

    I think Thorpe himself has said that he should of gone under 3:40 here, but he didn't realize how fast he was going and didn't go all out the last 50.

      Where'd he say that? I agree though, if he had of forced a last stroke instead of the glide he'd still have this WR. It's a real shame a literal nobody is the record holder.

    This was amazing, but don't forget Thorpe was wearing a high tech suit here. This would be banned now. Just like the suit worn by paul Biederman when he broke this record.
