beating world record by 4 seconds in the last 100m alone is the most impressive thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
Nah, the old WR was set opening for a 1500. So Kieran Perkins didn't accelerate the last 100, which Hackett and Thorpe did do. Nonetheless, very impressive.
@@verward and Thorpe swam this 60 seconds after he swam in another race
@@verward Fond memories of Kieran, his races and that fight to get on the Olympic team - then to just get lane 8 - to which he won gold.
In the last 100, Thorpes legs changed to sports mode from eco mode.
Unbelievable and beautiful performance by the Great Ian Thorpe! His style of swimming is just unique and inimitable!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
commentary makes this even more epic
Growing up watching Thorpe swim was one of my favourite things to do
Yeah I liked watching him swim, Shane Warne bowl and Yusain Bolt run 🙂
Remember, Perkins has another 700 to swim when he set the mark. These guys could blast the final 150m knowing they would be finished at 800. Still - Hackett was one of the all-time greats in distance swimming, and Thorpe just blows him out of the pool. Similar to what Ian did at 15 years old at the '98 Worlds in the 400.
Looks like brothers. Cheers to Hackett for keeping up to such a monster
53.71 last 100! holy shiiiiiiit!
Such a shame he retired early, watching Ian swim so gracefully is gorgeous to watch, and deceptive; he doesn't look as though he's going fast. There won't be anyone like him again.
Imagine shattering a world record and still finishing second in the race by 4 body lengths. Poor Grant Hackett. Ian Thorpe is so much fun to watch.
Beautiful race. So intense. Love it.
Phenomenal is an understatement. Imagine if this had been against Perkins. Thorpe 2 seconds behind with 200m to go. Thorpe 4 seconds ahead at the finish. What a superhuman last 200.
What an absolute monster!
Ian Thorpe is like he used 80% of the power.
He is Legend
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "blew him away".
It's like watching two brothers playfully competing :)
Thorpe saying he's got "a bit of aerobic fitness, but he's more of a sprinter" is almost as much a meme as Dressel saying he's "not a sprinter". My dude literally is still the 5th fastest performer with a mark he put up when he was 18 19 years ago while 2 of the people that were faster wore polyurethane suits.
are you kidding me perkins WON from lane 8 in 1996 after qualifying by les then a tenth of a second while being incredibly ill that day... then flogged the entire field and lapped some of the competitors...
Haackett averages around 33 strokes every 50. Thorpe about 28.
The whistling from the crowd is insane! So loud and smooth!
Weird! I swear I saw Ian stop the clock at 7:41:20, and then it increased to 7:41:59! wtf!?
Wow... True!
I just open my mouth 😲 the last 100m it's unbelievable
what a BEAST. awesome to watch
Seu técnica de nado impressiona!!
it was cruel wen people called him "Can't hack it " obviously he can!! but Thorpe waa a freak.
Thorpe was able to swim the 800 all the way down to the 100m
wow... wat a swimming championship this had turned out to be... thorpedo remained silent till the last two laps to show his valor...
this is the most incredible swimming champ i have ever seen... didnt imagine he would take that much lead in the end...!!! Awesome Thorpe..!!!
Yes. Agree !
7:15:55 to 7:41:59. 26:04 in the last 50.
@Henry Apart from Sun Yang ,maybe discredited, 25.6 something for the last 50 of 1500m in London Olympics.
@@harryalfie7 Sun the drug cheat though
@Henry he swam the last 50 in 25.8 at the world champs after this
at 2:18 . "lets start the clock again" legendary!
Probably because Thopre is know for his SUPER dominant kick. His speed with his kick was probably the fastest ever.
the fresstyle swimmer ever.
great video. u got the one where he went 7:39:16?
The invincible thorpedo!!!
Thorpe, Hackett, Hackett and Thorpe! There's nothing in it!!!
It still wasn't the equivalent of Thorpe's record. This is the same Thorpe who went a 24.6 on the last 50 of a 400. The man is all amazing.
THAT LAST 100 HOLD THE PHONE.... THAT WAS EPIC FUCK ME
TANK!
1:55.1 in the last 200m...it's a lot faster than what he did in the last Australian olympic trials for London 2012 in the 200m freestyle race final...
Is this the pool that they later discovered was slightly longer than 50 meters?
1:51.12 for the last 200
it's over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
He breathed to both sides just eyeballed him the whole time
I can't beleive Thorpe pumped 6 seconds into Perkins over the last 200!!!
He did this to 1 of the greatest distance swimmers ever. And it wasn't even a specialist event he did this almost as a challenge to see if he could do it. Hackett's ego got bruised big-time here. Got spanked in an event he did in his sleep.
@jungweizer
close? I don't think a body length can count as close
better yet, 4.5 seconds over the last 100m!
Thorpe did 28 strokes per 50, hackett did 34 strokes per 50. So thorpe can increases his number of strokes to increase his speed. It's simple
Weird! I swear I saw Ian stop the clock at 7:41:20, and then it increased to 7:41:59!
wtf!? Clocking error!
the TV clocks are not as accurate as the touch pad.
Wow
26,04 seconds on the last 50.
WTF he didn't use his legs for the first half of the race...
im very curious as to what he split in the last 50
26.04
Last 115m or so was just off the hinges.
the current world record at 800m freestyle long course is 7.38.65 by Grant Hackett set at the world championships in montreal canada in 2005.
So befor you call anyone a idiot you might want to check your facts.
holy shit he came back at a 54 thats bookin it in the end
Didnt feel to good
Im not sure about the 800m
Swam the 200m that was okay and just swam an okay 800m
WTF Ian you just smashed the WR i think you did better than just okay😂👍
I have to assume, from what we know now, that suit was actually slowing Thorpe down. Imagine what he woulda swum without it
Yes that suit did absolutely nothing for Thorpe.
I'm not sure it was "slowing him down". I think Thorpe claims it didn't do anything for him. I do wonder how fast he would've been with his 2001 fitness and an arena x-glide. Would he have been faster than Biederman?
@@verward If thorpe had one of those plastic suits from 2009 at his peak he would still have the 200 and 400 WR. He is easily the best freestyle swimmer ever and the fact he could swim a 100 200 400 and 800, all at world championship level was insane.
thats what i call eat my fucking bubbles
anyone know who the girl is at 3:38 ?
Scott 009 I think it is Christina Thorpe, Ian's older sister.
Scott 009 Grant Hackett’s then girlfriend.
@gusyrocks
i dont know how the hell they can wear bodysuits for an 800
after 200 they get water logged and slow you down
no it's not.. he went 1:49 in the 200m final.But who cares? He's still a swimming legend. Ian Thorpedo.
Thorpe swum last 100m in about 53s!!!!
ya but it was a 1500
This guy made to swim it is unfair to challenge him
why is he swimming in a long sleeved shirt?
Get with the program!
you were allowed full bodysuits before 2010
Фармацевтика.....
oh yeah, he only held a couple world records. obviously bad... dur
I don’t like his suite 😏
Hackett couldn't hacket....
*Hack it
This guy made to swim it is unfair to challenge him
