Best swimming performance of all time? 400m IM, the most challenging race you can do. Swam by the best swimmer of all time. One of his best disciplines. At his absolute peak. Completely dominant.
I would say this individual performance IS the number one swimming performance and WR in swimming history. The time is insane! This world record will last long, but there will be a day this will be smashed too :)
This is the only swimming WR to survive since the 2008 Olympics. The LZR Speedo suit resulted in most of them being obliterated in 2009 and now with 11 more seasons there since 2008 many of those records have also been broken but this one remains. That's how great a swim this was. This was probably the greatest single swim in history and he of course was the greatest swimmer in history.
tablelampdoor Kate Zeigler and Grant Hackett’s 1500 meters swims survived through the 08 olympics and 09 wc, yes they were broken later but they survived the supersuited world champs. This is the point I am making.
Fun fact , this was the race that his coach Bob Bowman said that Phelps told him before the games that he kept having a dream were he was swimming , and when he looked up at the clock and it had 3:07 on it , and Bob told him that it was probably his 350 split in the 400im if he wanted to go 4:03 , he said that the hairs on his neck stood up when he saw 3:07 flat at the 350 turn, lol great video.
4:28 "If he goes 4:02 or 4:03 he is gonna make us all look like a bunch of idiots" Yeah, he swam pretty fast which is why it is his last individual world record.
At the aquatic world Championship of Budapest 2022 Leon Marchand won gold with 4:04.28 and was 44 cents behind Phelps world record. I think he'd probably train with the purpose of beating it although swimming the individual medley under 4:04 is pretty much an achievement by itself.
5:49 to time that move, whilst getting a blood rush to the head, but not losing your bearings, not using a nose blocker but most importantly for him kicking off that wall the hardest & the strongest possible, then doing 100m of breaststroke, & then a 100m of freestyle, but the type of freestyle where youre just breathing from the right & burying your head back in the water. Damn Underrated & one of the most challenging sports, if not the most challenging i know
You watch 2021 Olympics 4IM, which was all heart from Kalisz, and an incredible swim. But this is legendary. Surprised the screen didn’t go into sepia tone off that final wall. All records get broken eventually. But standing for 13 years is astounding in an objective sport where science and diet improves every day.
Wow has it already bend a decade since Phelps won his 8 gold medley already? Wow I remember watching sorry Lochtie and Chsen you are amazing swimmers but Phelps is Supper human or appears to be wow could not take my eyes off of him.
Who’s here after Leon Marchand nearly broke this record on the first night of the world championships. 4:04.28 Edit he’s now DESTROYED Phelps’ record 4:02.50!
This was the first time I've watched an Olympic swimming video and I was like this wth when are they gonna stop , I mean this is so epic I can't even do this much reps doing normal swimming.
the big difference, especially in the beginning, were the turns. The commentators somehow totally missed the fact that Phelps simply pulverized the gaps after the first 50m backstroke and the first 50m breaststroke with his better glide phase and took the lead.
So that was the dude who went to my school in 2014 at a pep rally! I didn't know who he was since I was in elementary, but I remember this exact video. He even did a handstand for 10 seconds.
Michael Phelps , uno dei più grandi esempi di cosa sia un campione ! E' stato il nuotatore più forte di tutti i tempi e uno dei più grandi campioni della storia dello sport..Leggenda !!
8:09 "Laszlo got the silver ahead of Lochte" - given names are usually spoken after family names in Hungary. Not sure if that's why the commentator said that though
Congrats to Léon Marchand for beating the time
True, NEW WR 4:02.50!!!!
Yeah! Crazy
@@rhysswimmingandgymnasticsleon was pretty much same pace as phelps in freestyle backstroke and butterfly, leon got MUCH ahead in the breaststroke so this means phelps weakest stroke was the breaststroke
You should be a rocket scientist for stating the non obvious 😂
Has a huge chance to win it at home next year.
The split for Phelps' here is:
54.92 Butterfly
1.01.57 Backstroke
1.10.56 Breaststroke
56.79 Freestyle

the breast tho
Bro...my best breastroke for the 100 meters is 1:15. This blows my mind
Incredible

Just saw the 400 IM final for the Tokyo Olympics.. the time Phelps swam here would have won it by 6 seconds 😳
That’s nuts !
Any of three top finishers in this race, would have won gold in Tokyo by more than 1 second.
I had the same exact thought!
watch world championship 2022.20 year old Leon swam 4.04.phelps is the GOAT but all these times gonna be broken in the near future

4:28 "If he goes 4:02 or 4:03 he is gonna make us all look like a bunch of idiots"
Yeah, he swam pretty fast which is why it is his last individual world record.

I always think about what cseh would be if Phelps didn’t exist, dude was always right there next to him.
Who after León Marchan's 4'04?
How is cseh so fast with butterfly looking like that
He is the olympic champion of all time
He looked so relaxed after that intense swim.
Dan and rowdy are two of my favourite commentators
Who's watching this in August 2019 like me😁
In every end of the swimming videos i watch,that dude is the winner,cmon!
Micheal Phelps is a legend

leon marchand destroyed phelpss world record of 4.03.84 to 4.02.50
But Phelps always is GOAT

This is called "legend"
Michael Phelps is the real GOAT .
Lochte and Phelps make Cseh look like a bad backstroker, even though Cseh is destroying the rest of the field ...
Unless u can have three world records in butterfly freestyle and backstroke, this Michael Phelps record is here to stay.
He freakin sent it
Here before this video hits 2 million views!
Fantastic👏👏👏🙌

This race proves to me that phelps could've won the 400m freestyle and the 200m backstroke if he had had more time during the olympics.
True. It wasn’t just the 8 races. He had to compete in all the 17 with preliminaries.
200m back would have added 3 more races to his schedule

Still owning the WR 21 years after first grabbing it.

I can just imagine how hard they were breathing at the last 100m
8:09 "Laszlo got the silver ahead of Lochte" - given names are usually spoken after family names in Hungary. Not sure if that's why the commentator said that though
Imagine how good Phelps's times would've been if he had sorted his butterfly turns out!
