      King Blobby , easy as a pie in fact. You need to know how to swim, attend swiming pool regularly for few years, be healthy ofc. The real thing is not how they can last for 2 hours but how they can swim all this time with such high speed as they do. As for me, I can swim half an hour on high speed and 5 hours (maybe longer) in low tempo coz I know how to rest while swimming and not to waste lots of energy. Cheers !

    The Australian guy did what we call "a death race". You go ahead and hope nobody catches up with you. They almost always fail in their attempt, but if they do manage to keep up the pace (even if inevitably they slow down towards the very very end) the distance created makes it impossible for anyone else to try sprint-catch them at the end.

    • @shieldwolfminiatures8645
      @shieldwolfminiatures8645 8 лет назад +46

      Man, be fair. It's also with what hand you stroke last. Nobody can calculate that and the Greek just got in with the wrong one. He never contested the decision and had stated beforehand that "all I want is a medal". He had come fourth in London, this was his last chance to make it and he had vast experience. It's not a matter of being smart, sometimes it's just luck...
      PS. Watch for example how Phelps hitting the button was 2nd BUT since his opponent hadn't pressed hard enough it gave him yet another gold. As I said, to be the greatest sometimes luck is necessary. Still, an Olympic medal, no small feat huh? :-)

    Open water swimming is a totally different beast. 10k swimming is a distance so hard to imaging to swim but you need also consider the current. If you have the current against you, the 10k can easily feel like 13-15k since you are barely moving forward. Which is even crazier

  • @seanjennings3134
    @seanjennings3134 4 года назад +3

    I find it interesting how close the world record paces of swimming and running are when you just divide the speed of a runner by 4. Convert swim pace /100m to lap pace on an athletics track and you're working with similar numbers.
    Fastest 400m freestyle is 3:40. Fastest mile run is 3:43.
    Winning time in this video equates to 1:07.79/100m. 1:07.79/400m is a 1:59:10 marathon.

    If all notice at the video 1:35:20 the Australian swimmers turn on the Red buoy. But the chase group did short cut. Couldn't understand the referees didn't see that part.

    No, ya'll can't even begin to fathom how impressive this is.... Many swim practices for any average masters swim club or youth competitive club swimming, will swim about 3.5kms-5kms in a 1.5 hour - 2 hour practice, depending on the focus of that practice..... So these guys, are swimming DOUBLE this amount, in even less time than an average practice of a competitive swimmer.... That is nuts!

    Gianniotis what an amazing performance... He jsut lost because the dude from Netherlands touched the button first. Spyros was first. BUT i admit that Weertman won fair and square. ... Bad luck 2nd place due to unfortunate timing on hand stroke.

    The organization is so unprofessional, I mean, really.. Look at the end, they can't even claim who is first second or third.. The french guy doesn't even appear on the mark list and he touched third. Same goes for the women's race, this is kinda sad for such a big competition like this. Btw, still and awesome race to watch.

    • @UN1137
      @UN1137 7 лет назад +1

      Yes and no. The rule is that the clock is stopped when the swimmer touches the touchpad, but the timing system doesn't know when this actually happens. Because of this, all races are decided by photo finish.

    Riviting! And a classic example of the idea that creeps in to so many analyzing a race, where you think a great early lead can stress the pace and plan of the competitors but the risk is huge and that early spent energy leaves you with nothing left in the tank for the final run to the finish.
