Andarovin That is literally besides the point. Phelps has the most medals in history but the true test of ones physical apex ability, mentality and dedication is a multivariate event. If you want to say phelps is the greatest because of his medals than thats okay
+San An I agree decathlon is the best test, because it tests almost every major track and field event. In life it's not about speciality, it's about overall and decathlon athletes are the greatest olympians the world has to offer.
For Phelps, 51.22 was not very fast considering hes been 49 before. It’s definitely a different era from today where 51.22 is slower than the 8th place finisher in Paris
Just glance at the rankings at 5:48 and you'll see just how incredibly close this race was. The difference between the Gold Medallist (Phelps) and the dude who came last was just 0.8 seconds. Incredible how small the margins are at this level!
*LOL* due to the audio not syncing with the video, when I heard the splash while the swimmers were all preparing to jump, I thought one of them, or the camera man had fell into the pool. *xD*
@@Komerican10 to learn the stroke its okay you can learn it with some practice...but to swim 100m or 200m butterfly in a race and that pace its freaking exhausting...and think about the sets at practice they do these athletes to be able to swim that fast ....too difficult.
Χρήστος Τσαρτσάλης Not really. Yes Fly is very exhausting, but to perfect that stroke is like gold. My daughter is amazing at fly and she is 14! She just joined the swim team and figured out which one she loved most. I taught her all the strokes and she is a natural like Phelps:)
+Hamoudeish1 this is my first year swimming competitively and it is probably the hardest sport physically I've ever played where baseball for me is just difficult to be successful not really physically demanding

I'm a swimmer, I have been for 8 years, and I'm above average. I'm a freshman in high school, and I'm swimming for my team. My two strokes are freestyle and butterfly, and my main event and event that I want to take to State this year is the 50 freestyle. People say that swimming isn't a sport, and that makes me so angry. I practice on a daily basis, doing weights and different body exercises to drop a quarter of a second, being the first one in the pool for warm ups, always wanting to improve. Swimming is *hard*. It's probably the hardest sport in the world, and don't try to back yourself up with rugby, because, yes, rugby is crazy, but it's just violin. Swimming takes your entire body and mind. I slammed my fingers into the wall once and thought I had just hit them, so I kept swimming, but I had broken two of my fingers, which I found out after the race. Swimming has no excuse to not go to practice. Swimmers, keep your heads up. You're strong, no one can work harder than you. Pain is temporary. Swim for that adrenaline, for that glory. Don't ever stop.
Mate, I play rugby everyday. I love it SO much! It is much harder than swimming, it pushes you more, you have to be fast, you have to be strong and you have to be determined. I like swimming too, but trust me man, its not as hard as rugby. Also rugby is very "VIOLIN"
+StearnBears I played rugby for 6 years and have been swimming since I can remember. Swimming is much harder than rugby. U have to fast be determined and have strength. But it also,depends on how hard u train in each sport. Yes I will agree with u that rugby is hard but have u trained half of what any Olympic swimmer
Look at his form. It's different than the others. He doesn't bring his head out as much as the others, instead his body is angled parallel with the water
compared to others he only kept his chin in the water when going out, most had their face immerged or out, makes a big difference in the angle of the body.
When done with proper form, the butterfly stroke is one of the most beautiful to watch. I’ve been a swimmer my whole life is always a joy to swim butterfly, this is the gold standard in swimming if you can swim the butterfly with flawless technique then your a swimmer.
Look at 3:57 and you can see the guy in the green Cao looking at phelps. "Winners focus on winning while losers focus on winners!" Wise words. Proven here because this green capped guy was looking at Phelps...
@Jay Yadav common where is Phelps where is India He Has like 23 gold we won't win that much even in 2050....There is No Olympic culture here everyone running behind cricket..No Interest from government not much interest in majority people also...that's why even poorer african nations perform better.....
India has so many other issues .It is better to concentrate on eradicating those problems rather than winning medals at Olympics.But those who win it or even qualify for it.....Hats off to them ☺
I think it's because the outfits are the same most of there bodies are the same and you can't tell diversity in the hair because the caps. xD they do look similar tho.
When you think about it, we have been living in a golden generation of sport in the past decade, I think we've seen the best swimmer there's ever been, Michael Phelps; the best tennis players there's ever been, Federer and Nadal; the best sprinter there's ever been, Usain Bolt; two of the greatest football players there's ever been, Messi and Ronaldo; maybe the best golfer, Tiger Woods, the greatest sprint road cyclist ever, Mark Cavendish, and track cyclist, Chris Hoy. Treasure these moments!
Uuh yeah, i think there fishys. I mean i can swim across a whole pool about the size of this olympic one in 6 minutes full speed free style. I mean its alright I'm working on it. I can swim pretty fast. But fo real DANG! Michael can SWIM!!!
Look at their timing just winning by micro seconds all are equal almost but winner is winner ..Michael Phelps whose technique, body, confidence, and experience and energy of winning make him win always.........We love you Michael.........You winner of our hearts and a great sportsman.....what a brilliant swimmer he is who when dives even swimming pool knows today nobody can pass him and also supports him as he starts splashing........
It's crazy how small the differences are. There's barely a 1 second difference from the 1st place and the 8th place. Goes to show the level they compete in.
All michaels have magic in them: Michael Jordan, Michael Andrew, Michael Jackson, Michael Phelps. Now me, Michael Gumino a 12 year old swimmer wanting to go to the Olympics and be a great swimmer!
that just might’ve cost him the race too. it really does make a difference and it’s crazy to think he could’ve won by a few milliseconds if he didn’t peek. 👀
I hate how non-swimmers don't realise how hard swimming is and say it is really easy when actually it requires tons of skill and dedication. These guys show this, they are more like fish than human beings and it is incredible. Whenever someone says swimming is not hard I show them this video and they change their mind.
He is born to be a swimmer...luv from India My name is bhavya srivastava and i am also a swimmer i won upto state level........ the whole world is proud of yu michale
Michael T, 2 other Americans won an individual event for 4 consecutive games: Carl Lewis in long Jump in 1984 - 1996 and Al Oeter in Discus in 1956 - 1968
Wow, Phelps was a bit lucky in the end with not taking another stroke & stretching his last one (like Cavic did in Beijing's 100m fly), and by still winning
Deportistas como él son reales super humanos, forjados en disciplina estricta, concentración, autocontrol psicologico de las emociones, fuerza, dedicación, resiliencia y poca vida social, casi nula. Todo lo que deriva en un deportista realmente impresionante!💪 admiro a estas personas, yo apenas y voy al gym 🤭
Phelps is a great athlete, the greatest of all swimmers in history !!! With all due respect, though... but at the same championships he could compete in 5 different events, and in 3 relays.There is no other discipline of sport in which any sportsman can grab so many opportunities for medals. I am pretty much sure Michael that there are or were some other great athletes equally fantastic, as Paavo Nurmi, Michael Jordan, Roger Federer or Jessie Owens, not to mention Ole Einar Bierndealen of Norway.... Cheers to you, mate anyway ! Good luck in Rio !!! By the way, Konrad Czerniak- my compatriot ( you can watch him here in the event) is going to compete with Michael again in the 100 m butterfly final in Rio... hopefully anyway ! He is now much stronger... who knows maybe... fingers crossed !!!
+Alvaro Neto jordan best at 3 pointers stick to swimming bro dunks mean nothing in greatess jordans accomplishments in the finals is what made him the greatest nit a sungle blemish not a single game 7 never came up small
Swimming is a very intense sport I was super stressed out before my breaststroke and butter fly race but I ended up getting 4th for my fly race and 1st for breast it was city finals too :)
Im old enough to remember Mark Spitz 7 medals in Munich 72..They said it would never be equaled or even approachable...40 years later Spitz 7 world record times would not even qualify in London...Michael Phelps redefined the sport...Without question the greatest Olympian and swimmer ever!!!...MAGNIFICENT!!!
Imagine how we wait 4 years for an event that takes 51 seconds

Imagine how much training goes into those 51 seconds over 4 years
Welcome to the wonderful world of swimming

Watch 100 m butterfly Beijing. It was 0.01 SECONDS
