And a block start. Imagine what he’d do with a Dressel start and cap

lol @ how much Jenny Thompson sucked

That leg from Petria Thomas was phenomenal. You do know that she was the silver medalist in the 200m butterfly in both Atlanta and Athens?

А кто эт о комментирует😂 не стыдно😂

Campion olympica! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

What a fly men... I will practice this style today...

This has to be one of the most insane WRS for it’s time. Up there with 3:41 in 1999

Великий дядя саша😂

So, how many of these Russian swimmers were part of the state sponsored doping program? I know it's a rhetorical question.

Nystrand is fascinating to watch, and to the stopwatch. His kick tempo for each leg is different where the 3rd kick (2nd for other leg) is a dolphin kick for the respective arm stroke. It can’t be explained other than a swing rock and roll off beat that works. His body briefly hits high frontal drag each cycle but he uses it like a wave to surf over. Furthermore the extreme straight arm recovery just adds to this highly complicated but effective machine. Stefan, if you read this man, you are a sprint legend.

Комент, панекеров😂

What is scary about this is the stroke count. A whooping 31 strokes for a WR!

Ian, WR holder in 800 simultaneously winning Olympic and world champ medals in the 100

Похер что там было установлено в Афинах. Попов велик😊

3 золота в 32 года

Саня великий😊

Awesomeness by Petria - difference between a butterfly specialist and Jenny Thompson who was a relay specialist. Liesel Jones was great too, Amanda Beard knew Liesel was tracking her down the whole way. I always liked the Aussies chances in a medley relay when Liesel was swimming the breaststroke

Is this the only footage of Ian Thorpe swimming short course?

Australia will return to dominate. A small population, but the coastal lands to breed.

Тут дядя Саша🤣 какой нахрен Торп 🤣

...game changer...the most iconic swimmer in history...there is competitive swimming before Alex Popov and after...won without cap, tech suits, modern blocks, one leg start and with no pre arranged schedules or strange finishes...

It not fair, they should not allow fish in the water. Popov ain't human

Попов легенда

Where was Thorpe ?

This have to be the most insane world record ever

Petria Thomas is just incredible. Handed a full body-length deficit at the 200m mark, and then just completely destroys Jenny Thompson’s lead, and hands over to Jodie Henry with a lead.

Petria absolutely cooked Jenny on that

The best freestyle swimmer of all time!! There was literally no one who could've match him in his prime!!! THE THORPEDO!!!

AUSTRALIAS BUTTERFLY & FREESTYLE LEGS WERE BOTH OUT OF THIS WORLD.

Name a person who can swim 21.6 with trunks

Lia Thomas will be selected in every women's event at the next Olympics.

What a swim by Petra Thomas - snatched the Gold from the USA's grasp with her butterfly leg

Amo incondicionalmente a natação australiana! Parabéns a todas, um feito jamais esquecido na natação mundial! Além de serem lindas🌻

Este narrador é horrível. Nada empolgante.

Легенда ✌фантастика🤘😝🤘

Это великий человек 😂✌

A method that combines front and rear propulsion

Oh how I wish I can watch this in English

Petria’s underwater off the wall into the last 50m was incredible. And Henry such an amazing finish! Nice sportsmanship by Natalie.

Нет уже таких пловцов как Попов.Я думаю что и не будет дальше.Плавания это спорт,красота и искусства как сказал великий Русский пловец Александр Попов

Ian Thorpe doesn't even look like he is trying, and still touches in third.

The butterfly leg of aussie was superb! She even overtake the U.S!

Last lap looks the exact same as the 2004 Athens 200m final. Just swap out Hackett for Phelps.

Omg what a comeback by Australia in that butterfly leg... What a swimmer!!!

Vasco!!!

Petria Thomas. Hero

Tania. BOGO I'll a. Bog

Mark Foster's stroke was similar to Popov : long, low rate. In other video, I saw his catch, pull and arm recovery were similar too.
