Tbf tho, PB's more often than not are the most optimized time for any athlete, making it hard to beat. World Records on the other hand more often than not get beat by top athletes in training, but since the time isn't officially recognized they don't go on record.
@@johngrimm2074yeah so that might actually happen in weight lifting or other disciplines but as someone who competed, that doesn't happen in swimming or other endurance sports. When these times happen, PB WR or neither even, the athletes are in an ideal tapered state prepared starting weeks in advance. During training, by design, the body is too exhausted to achieve such times.
If you think about it, they're really just both celebrating beating their personal best. A lot of speed sports is about the personal improvement, rather than the competition against others.
Ok does no one understand that his PB is still the 2nd best time of all time just behind himself. He’s congratulating him on that like welcome to the club only me you and Michael Phelps is apart of haha.
@@PancatNikkiI mean the other swimmer took breaths and was really close to Caleb who wasn't taking breaths If he would have used the same tactics as Caleb he might've won
I was on the team with him at UF and this dude is an absolute unit of a human. Football players and their conditioning coaches would watch him in the weight room cause his strength and explosive power was unparalleled
@@realalbertanbro that dude is insane istg. never heard of him before and i was a decent swimmer in canada then after covid and everything his name pops up and i see a kid my age go like 1:50 sumn 200bk scm and 1:46 200fr scm while im still stuck at 2 flat from when i was 14
As a swimmer myself, I will say there have been many times I’ve walked over to a guy I swam against to congratulate him, breaking a personal best is a big think in swim, like a big thing. And it always makes someone’s day! ❤
I was lucky enough to meet him a few years back since he was visiting my old team. My man is super humble and made a lot of us younger swimmers wayyyyy more confident in ourselves and was really understanding. He even jokingly (I think) yelled at our coach for a set he had us do (I think I was 13 at the time) that set being 5000 yards every third 25 butterfly. That made us feel really good since the coach made him do the same set without the fly, everyone was like “we work harder than Caleb Dressell!”
Rivalry is still a necessary and important part of being a top athlete. Yes, you compete against yourself, but if you don't have someone "to beat", someone that is physically standing next to you at a tournament, competition or otherwise, it gets boring after a while. Warholm and Benjamin. Ingebrigtsen and Kerr. Schumacher and Raikonen. There are plenty of examples.
I remember an even more impressive feat from dressed. Everyone was so hype over his sprint free an butterfly performances, but when he swam at SEC championships, he swam off events since he already had lNCAA qualifying times for every one of main events, so he swam the 100yard breaststroke and broke the American record. For any foreigners who don’t know: Americans typically swim short course yards (25y per length) during winter, so most of the swim season including collegiate and long course meters (Olympic, 50m per length) during the summer, so American records are only different from world records because they are in yards
They should just call American records in short course yards world records in short course yards. Caeleb holds the world record in then 100 scy breaststroke
I met him a few years back at a TYR swim pro series, and he just seems to have a great time the whole time he is competing. During a commercial break sweet Caroline was playing, and he was behind the blocks warming up but also dancing to the song at the same time period and he always celebrates/congratulates his competitors.
This is why I LOVE SWIMMING! The sportsmanship in swimming is on a different level than any other sport. It is the tradition and culture of swimming that made me commit 16 years of my 22 year life to the sport. Especially once you get to high level swimming like in college. And not the petty swimming of the high schoolers who do not show this kind of humility. It’s a sport we all know sucks. But we love it. Almost like masochist. It’s the one sport that is purely mental during practice.
Well most swimmers even Olympians don’t get paid much, they do it for the love of the game They aren’t really competing with each other, more like the WR time
