Thanks for the suggestion! The Ref is such a great pick-definitely an underrated Christmas comedy! It’s got that perfect mix of holiday chaos and dark humor. I’ll keep it in mind for future lists or updates. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! 🎄🎥

Thanks for the comment! You’ve got a sharp eye for great gangster films, and you’re absolutely right-Gotti (1996), True Romance, and Blood In Blood Out are incredible movies that deserve recognition. It was tough narrowing the list to just 50, and I had to make some tough calls to keep the balance between classics and underrated gems. These three could easily make a strong case for being on the list. Gotti captures the rise and fall of John Gotti with a gripping performance by Armand Assante, True Romance is a Tarantino-penned masterpiece with unforgettable characters, and Blood In Blood Out is an epic story of loyalty and betrayal. Maybe it’s time for a follow-up video featuring the ones that didn’t make the cut! Thanks for the suggestion-keep them coming! 😊

Great catch! Leaving Godfather III and Mobsters out was a tough call. While Godfather III has its moments, it didn’t quite live up to the legacy of the first two for many fans, and Mobsters has a unique charm but didn’t make as big an impact compared to others on the list. Maybe they deserve a spot in a ‘Most Underrated Gangster Films’ video-what do you think?

i agree but still good but thamks i enjoyed it

oh and i dont remember gotti 1996 def atop 5

Thanks for the comment! Gotti (1996) is definitely a classic, and Armand Assante’s performance as John Gotti is unforgettable. While it didn’t make my top 5 in this video, I totally get why it’s up there for you-it’s gritty, intense, and gives a fascinating look into the Gambino crime family. Maybe I’ll do a follow-up video focusing on underrated gangster films, and Gotti could definitely be a star of that list! Thanks for sharing your pick! 🔥🍿

Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 🎥 Gangster movies are such a fun genre to explore, and it’s great to hear you agree with the list (even if not 100%!).

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the list! Gangs of Wasseypur is an absolute masterpiece-such a raw and gripping portrayal of generational crime. Definitely deserves more global recognition! Have you seen any other Indian gangster films that you’d recommend?

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the list-it’s always great to hear when it inspires a rewatch. A follow-up on underrated gangster films is a fantastic idea! There are so many hidden gems out there that deserve more attention. Stay tuned, and I’ll make it happen soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for your comment! You’re absolutely right-Rocco and His Brothers and Le Professeur are masterpieces, and I appreciate you pointing them out. In Rocco and His Brothers, Delon delivers one of his most sensitive and layered performances as Rocco, embodying the emotional depth and moral struggles of the character. It’s a film that demands patience and a keen eye for its nuanced storytelling. As for Le Professeur (The Teacher), it’s a fascinating exploration of complex relationships, with Delon bringing a more introspective and subdued energy to the role. It’s a stark contrast to his tough-guy persona and really showcases his range as an actor. I tried to strike a balance in the video by including a variety of his roles, but it’s true-many of his “tough guy” characters are iconic and hard to leave out. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts! Delon’s career is so rich that narrowing it down to just 20 movies is always going to be tough. 😊

Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching the video! 🙏 You're right-the numbers are indeed shocking and a stark reminder of the devastating toll of war. I also share your wish for a world where such skills are never needed. To answer your question about the snipers’ fates, their lives often reflected the harsh realities of war, but some managed to survive and lead relatively peaceful lives afterward. Let me share the stories of a few of these individuals: Simo Häyhä - Known as "The White Death," he was a Finnish sniper with over 500 confirmed kills during the Winter War. Despite being severely wounded by an explosive bullet near the end of the war, he survived and lived a long life, passing away in 2002 at the age of 96. Vasily Zaitsev - A Soviet sniper famous for his role in the Battle of Stalingrad, Zaitsev killed over 200 enemies and became a legend. He survived the war despite suffering severe injuries and later lived a quieter life as an engineer in the Soviet Union. He passed away in 1991. Lyudmila Pavlichenko - One of the most famous female snipers in history, she racked up over 300 confirmed kills for the Soviet Union. She survived the war and later became a historian and public speaker, living until 1974. Unfortunately, not all snipers were so lucky. Many, like Sepp Allerberger of Germany and Ivan Sidorenko of the Soviet Union, faced immense danger on the battlefield and bore the physical and emotional scars of war for the rest of their lives. Their stories are both inspiring and sobering, showing the resilience of the human spirit even in the darkest times.

Thank you so much! 🙌 I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Jannik Sinner's win in the 2024 US Open was absolutely epic, right? 💥 It's incredible to look back at all the legends that have held the title over the years, and now Sinner's name is added to that historic list. 🎾🏆 If you have any favorite matches or champions, let me know! Always love chatting tennis! 🎉

Vamos Jannik, indeed!! 😊😊😊 He’s really proving himself as one of the best! What an amazing run to take the US Open title this year! His speed, power, and mental toughness were on full display, and he totally deserved it. Can’t wait to see what’s next for him in his career! 🙌🎾 Thanks for the love and support for Jannik, and thanks for watching the video! 😊😊😊

Thanks so much for the support! 😊 Greece’s win over Portugal in 2004 is definitely one of the most unforgettable moments in Euro history! The ultimate underdog story-no one saw it coming. It’s totally understandable why you’d pick that one, even if it’s a bit subjective. That final showed us that anything can happen in football. What a journey Greece had! Thanks for sharing your pick!!

Thanks so much for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙌. You're absolutely right about the fascinating lives of these geniuses, and the chess players in the video are no exception. Let me share a bit more about the three brilliant minds: Bobby Fischer - He's often considered one of the greatest chess players of all time. Fischer became the World Chess Champion in 1972 after defeating Boris Spassky in a match that was seen as a Cold War showdown. His intellect was unmatched, but his life was full of controversy, and he stepped away from competitive chess at the height of his career. His eccentric behavior made headlines, but his contribution to chess is undeniable. Garry Kasparov - Kasparov dominated the chess world for two decades and was the youngest ever World Chess Champion at the age of 22. He’s also known for his famous matches against IBM’s Deep Blue, marking the first time AI seriously challenged human intellect in chess. After retiring, Kasparov became a political activist and public intellectual, further showcasing his sharp mind beyond the chessboard. Emanuel Lasker - Lasker was World Chess Champion for an astounding 27 years, from 1894 to 1921. His intellectual prowess wasn't just limited to chess; he was also a mathematician and philosopher. His chess style was often described as psychological because he aimed to unsettle his opponents, making him a fascinating player to study. Each of these players had a unique impact on the game and beyond, shaping chess as we know it today. If you're curious about any of them in more detail, feel free to ask! ♟️😊

@@evoluing thank you for your comment! You are triggering my mind to search more!

@@johnvagion That’s exactly what I hoped this video would do-spark curiosity and inspire deeper exploration. The stories of these brilliant minds are so rich and layered; there’s always more to uncover. If you dive into researching them, you’ll find fascinating details about how they lived, their groundbreaking ideas, and the challenges they faced. Let me know if you come across anything mind-blowing-I’d love to hear about it and maybe even include it in a future video! 🧠✨ Keep exploring! 🚀

Thanks for the comment! Chris Langan, often referred to as 'the smartest man in America,' is definitely a fascinating figure. His background as a horse rancher and self-taught genius makes his story even more intriguing. It's incredible how he balances his life between such a hands-on, physical job and his deep philosophical ideas. I'm glad you enjoyed learning about him!

Hey, great observation! It's incredible to see how much the sport has evolved. Starting with a record of 3.15 meters and now reaching an astounding 6.26 meters is a testament to the dedication, innovation, and athleticism in pole vaulting over the years. Every jump represents a new chapter in the history of the sport, and it's amazing to witness these athletes continually push the limits of what's possible. Thanks for pointing that out-it's a reminder of how far we've come!

Thanks so much my friend @johnvagion! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🙌 Alain Delon is such a legend, and it was amazing to go through his iconic roles over the years. Which movie of his is your favorite?

@@evoluing I have to choose Le Samouraï by Jean-Pierre Melville for many reasons. Some of them are the following: It is an epitome of the film noir genre. Delon delivers an outstanding performance, where the character fits the actor very well. I’m sentimentally attached to this film since it was one of my father’s suggestions. Personal fun fact: As a child, it seemed bizarre to me that the Greek translation of the title was “The Killer with the Angel Face,” while the original title was just a single word!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Le Samouraï! I totally get why you'd choose this film-it’s a masterpiece for so many reasons. First off, you're spot on about it being the epitome of the film noir genre. Jean-Pierre Melville absolutely nailed that moody, atmospheric vibe that makes noir so captivating. The way the film uses silence, shadows, and those long, tense moments-it all just pulls you into Jef Costello’s world. And then, of course, there's Alain Delon. His performance in Le Samouraï is just legendary. He brings this cool, detached intensity to the role, and you're right-the character of Jef fits him like a glove. It’s like he was born to play that part, and he does it with such effortless style. I also love that you have a sentimental connection to the film. Movies recommended by family always seem to hit differently, right? They carry so much more meaning when there's a personal story behind them. And your fun fact is really interesting! I can imagine how puzzling it must’ve been as a kid to see such a different title in Greek. "The Killer with the Angel Face" definitely has a poetic ring to it, but there's something so simple and powerful about the original title Le Samouraï-it captures the essence of the character perfectly. Thanks again for sharing-your comment added so much to the conversation!

Hey there! 😄 I knew someone would bring this up! Rocky Balboa is an absolute legend, no doubt about that. 🥊 But with so many incredible sports movies out there, it was tough to narrow it down to just 40. I wanted to showcase a mix of different sports, unique stories, and some underrated gems that people might not have seen before. Trust me, Rocky is in a league of its own, and it’s probably on everyone’s personal top list. Maybe I'll do a special video just for the Rocky series? Stay tuned! Thanks for watching and for the great comment! 🙌🎬 #RockyForever

@@evoluing no don't make a video about rocky. they are cult movies😁 luckily it's not on this list😜

Hey there! Thanks for your comment! 😁 I totally get where you're coming from-'Rocky' is legendary and holds a special place in the hearts of many. It’s one of those films that's more than just a movie; it’s a cultural phenomenon. But don't worry, this list is all about showing love to some other great sports movies that might not get as much spotlight as the 'Rocky' series. That being said, Rocky will always be an all-time champ in the ring and on our screens. Thanks for watching and for the awesome comment! 🥊🎥

Ah, 'L'INSOUMIS'! Great choice! 🌟 It's definitely one of Alain Delon's standout performances, with his intense portrayal of Thomas Vlassenroot, a former soldier caught in a web of intrigue. I didn't include it in this list because I wanted to highlight a mix of his most iconic and varied roles, but 'L'INSOUMIS' is absolutely a must-watch for any Delon fan. Thanks for bringing it up! Maybe I'll do a part two and dive into some of his other amazing films, including this one. 😉

Rocco and his brothers and Leopard??

When it comes to Alain Delon’s filmography, both "Rocco and His Brothers" and "The Leopard" are absolute masterpieces. They’re not just some of the best movies Delon has starred in-they’re also considered some of the greatest films in Italian cinema. "Rocco and His Brothers" (1960), directed by Luchino Visconti, is a powerful drama about family, love, and the struggles of immigrants in post-war Italy. Delon’s performance as Rocco is deeply emotional and complex, showing his incredible range as an actor. "The Leopard" (1963), also directed by Visconti, is an epic tale set during the Italian unification. Delon plays the young and ambitious Tancredi, and he’s absolutely magnetic in the role. The film is visually stunning and often praised for its historical accuracy and grandeur. Both of these films highlight Delon’s versatility and why he’s considered one of the greatest actors of his generation. If you haven’t seen them yet, they’re definitely worth watching! Thanks for bringing them up! 🙌

@@evoluing It's a shame that he didn't do more films like Rocco, the Leopard, the Professor, Le Toubib and a few others where he could put his acting range. Too many cold and hard roles like Clan des Siciliens, Cercle Rouge, etc. He said he did wish to play other kinds of roles but his public didn't have it. He was a great actor who was typecast all too often.

@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 Thanks for the thoughtful comment! I completely agree-Alain Delon was an incredibly talented actor with a range that often didn’t get the spotlight it deserved. His performances in films like Rocco and His Brothers, The Leopard, and The Professor showed his depth and vulnerability, proving he was much more than just a "cool and stoic" screen presence. Unfortunately, as you said, the audience often gravitated toward his "icy, enigmatic" roles in films like Le Clan des Siciliens and Le Cercle Rouge. While those were iconic and cemented his status as a legend, it’s a shame we didn’t get to see more of his emotional versatility on screen. It's fascinating to hear that he himself wanted to branch out more-makes you wonder what kind of roles he might have taken in a different era or with a different audience mindset. Delon was undeniably great at what he did, but he was also a victim of the industry's and the audience's expectations. I think that’s part of why films like Rocco and Leopard stand out so much-they remind us of just how multifaceted he truly was.

Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! 🌟 I'm really glad you loved the vibrant visuals and the Cuban cocktail ingredients we showcased. It's such a fun culture to explore through drinks, right? 🌴🍹 I love your idea of doing a series on cocktails from different cultures-there are so many unique and delicious drinks out there that I’d love to dive into. I’m definitely adding that to my list! Maybe we’ll start with some classic Mexican or Brazilian cocktails next? Stay tuned! 😉 Thanks again for watching and for your support-it means a lot. Cheers! 🥂

Hey, thanks for the comment! The main focus of the video was to track the progression of the 1500 meters world record. But you're right-accuracy matters, and I appreciate you pointing that out! I'll be more careful in the future. Thanks for watching and keeping me on my toes!

That's a great observation! Pan's record-breaking swim in the Men's 100m Freestyle was indeed a monumental leap in the world of swimming. When we look back at the history of the 100m Freestyle, we see that significant drops in time are pretty rare, especially at the elite level where every hundredth of a second counts. You're absolutely right to compare it to the jump from 49.99 to 49.44 by Montgomery and Skinner back in 1976-that was a huge moment in swimming history too. Pan's achievement, which took the record down by such a significant margin, reminded many of those kinds of breakthrough moments where an athlete pushes the boundaries of what's possible. It’s these big jumps that often signal a shift in how the event is swum, whether it’s due to advancements in training, technique, or just a phenomenal athlete at the peak of their powers.

Thanks for the insightful comment! You’ve definitely highlighted some key aspects of Pan Zhanle’s swimming technique. His efficiency in the water is remarkable-using a smaller range of motion and maintaining a low stroke frequency helps him conserve energy, allowing for more powerful strokes when it really counts. The minimal splash also suggests that he’s mastered his body position, reducing drag and making each stroke more effective. It’s fascinating to see how these subtle techniques can add up to make such a huge difference in a race. Given how methodically he swims, it's not surprising that many believe he has the potential to break his own record. The way he maximizes efficiency while maintaining speed is definitely something other swimmers might try to emulate. Let's see if Pan continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in the 100 meters freestyle! Thanks again for the comment and for pointing out these technical details!

Thanks for the suggestion! 🙌 I’m glad you enjoyed the Miss World video. Covering the history of Miss Universe is a fantastic idea, and I’ve actually been thinking about it. So, stay tuned because a video on every Miss Universe winner from the very beginning might be coming your way soon! Don’t forget to hit that notification bell so you don’t miss it! 🔔👑

They made the javelin heavier and unbalanced so that it remains within the limits of an Olympic Stadium, it was becoming clear that at one point some thrower would send one into the crowd killing or injuring someone, or the sport would have to move out of the Olympic sized stadium soon. So they rescinded the old records that had a biased javelin.

@@indcredible7839 thank you ☺

Javelins with serrated tails were outlawed by the IAAF in Tokyo in August 1991 at the IAAF-Congress; several of the records were rescinded as from 20 September 1991, and the record reverted to Steve Backley's 89.58, the longest throw with the regular new implement (as of 1986).

Totally feel you on that! 🏊‍♂️ Pan Zhanle's performance was absolutely legendary. To hit 46.40 in the 100m freestyle is just unreal. It’s like he’s rewriting what we thought was humanly possible in the pool! 🚀 Definitely deserving of that ‘god status’ in your heart. Can’t wait to see what he does next!

Hey there! Thanks for your comment. You bring up a really interesting point about Pan Zhanle's achievement and its significance. It's true that swimming, like many other sports, has historically seen more representation from certain countries, often due to access to resources, training facilities, and support systems. Pan Zhanle’s record-breaking performance is definitely a huge milestone, not just because of the time itself but also because it represents a shift in the sport's landscape. It's exciting to see more diversity in swimming, and I believe this will inspire athletes from all backgrounds to pursue their dreams in the pool. The Aussie coach's reaction might stem from competitive rivalry-after all, breaking a world record is a big deal-but I hope that this also encourages a broader appreciation of talent from all over the world. Let's look forward to seeing even more athletes from diverse backgrounds making waves and setting new records! 🌊💪

Duke Kahanamoku ≠ white.

What a garbage comment you made.

@@Lex-wy9ru You are absolutely right. We just saw the US flag and assumed he was white. He was born in the Kingdom of Hawaii before it was annexed a few years later as one of the US territories, then the 50th state in 1959.

Absolutely, Pan Zhanle's achievements are nothing short of incredible! As the first East Asian swimmer to break barriers in the 100m freestyle on the world stage, he’s inspired countless people not just in Asia but around the globe. His dedication and success truly demonstrate that with hard work and determination, anyone can achieve greatness, regardless of where they come from. Pan’s journey is a testament to the growing diversity in sports, and it’s amazing to see him making history. Thanks for highlighting this-he really is a source of pride for so many!

Hey there! Thanks for watching the video. I know, it's surprising to see only one Asian swimmer on the list given the incredible talent across the region. But keep in mind, the sport is growing rapidly in Asia, and we're seeing more amazing athletes emerge every year. Who knows, we might see more record-breaking performances from Asian swimmers in the near future. Keep an eye out-there's a lot of potential out there! 🌊💪

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's important to remember that elite athletes from all over the world undergo rigorous testing to ensure fair competition, and that's not just limited to one country. While there have been doping scandals in the past, it's crucial to look at the facts and recognize that these issues aren't confined to any one nation. The progression of world records in sports like swimming is a testament to the hard work, innovation, and dedication of athletes globally. Let's continue to celebrate those achievements while also advocating for clean sport everywhere.

It will be Pan!

Hey thanks for your comment! 😄 You know, 2030 might just be the year someone takes the 100m freestyle to the next level! Pan Zhanle’s 46.40 was absolutely insane, and it really makes you wonder how much faster we can go. But if history has taught us anything, it’s that records are made to be broken. With advancements in training, technology, and just the sheer determination of athletes, a 46:00 could be in the cards sooner than we think. Who knows-maybe we'll be making another video in 2030 talking about that very moment! 🌊🔥 Keep watching, and stay tuned for more updates on this incredible journey in swimming history! 🏊‍♂️💨

Absolutely, you’re spot on! Technology has had a huge impact on how athletes train, recover, and perform. From advanced swimwear that reduces drag to high-tech training tools like underwater cameras and motion sensors that help fine-tune techniques, all these innovations push the boundaries of what’s possible. Plus, with better understanding of sports science and nutrition, swimmers are getting faster and stronger. So while breaking records is still a monumental feat, these advancements make it more achievable over time. The future of swimming is super exciting to think about!

Thanks for the comment! 😅 Yeah, Steve Clark's 54.4 was an incredible achievement at the time, and holding that record must've felt amazing-even if it was just for 22 days. Records in swimming are so dynamic, especially in the 100m freestyle, where every hundredth of a second counts. It's a testament to how fiercely competitive the sport is. Clark might have lost the record quickly, but his contribution to pushing the limits is still legendary. And hey, records are made to be broken, right?

Hey @szymon6207! Thanks for the comment! 😄 Absolutely, the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris were amazing, but LA28 is definitely going to be epic! I can’t wait to see what new records and incredible moments will come from it. Who knows what kind of groundbreaking achievements we’ll witness in LA? 🏅✨ Stay tuned for more updates and make sure to subscribe for all the latest Olympic news and highlights! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! 🏆🇺🇸

Thanks for your comment! You're absolutely right-if a coach from 1905 had seen someone suggest breaking 60 seconds in the 100m freestyle, they probably would have thought it was a wild fantasy. Back then, swimming techniques, training methods, and even the understanding of human physiology were so different from today. It's incredible to think how much has changed in just over a century. Athletes have continuously pushed the boundaries of what's possible, and what once seemed impossible is now a standard goal for competitive swimmers. It really shows how far the sport has come!

Fire in water... how is that possible? 🤣

@@evoluing 😁

This is a world record for the relay split but not for 100 freestyle. Because the reaction time for the gun sound of the 100 freestyle takes 0.6 seconds while the relay race reaction only takes 0.2 seconds.

Hey there! Thanks for the question! Charlie Fonville was an incredible American shot putter who really left his mark on the sport in the late 1940s. He was born in Birmingham, Alabama, but he grew up in Detroit, Michigan. As for TCH, I can totally see how that might be confusing! TCH actually stands for "Tchécoslovaquie," which is the French word for Czechoslovakia. This abbreviation was commonly used in international sports records, especially back in the day when French was more widely used as the language of record in international athletics. So, to sum it up: Charlie Fonville came from the USA, and TCH is just the French way of saying Czechoslovakia. Hope that clears it up! Thanks for watching!

@@evoluing Thanks, but that doesn't explain why in the video it says Fonville was Czech!

Boa pergunta! Sim, Pan Zhanle realmente correu 46.40 nos 100m livre, quebrando o recorde mundial. No vídeo, perdi essa atualização. Em breve, farei um novo vídeo cobrindo esse feito histórico e outros recordes recentes! Fique ligado e obrigado por comentar! Peço desculpas se cometi algum erro. Meu português não é muito bom! 😊

Hey @kenlamlam298, thanks for your comment! I think it's important to address your concerns and clear up some misconceptions. When it comes to competitive swimming, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, the purple faces you're seeing on swimmers aren't necessarily a sign of anything sinister. It’s actually quite common in high-intensity sports like swimming, especially in events like the 100 meters freestyle, where athletes are pushing their bodies to the absolute limit. The dark purple color can be due to the increased blood flow and the extreme exertion, along with the cold water in the pool, which causes the skin to change color temporarily. As for the idea that one country is targeting another when it comes to doping accusations, it's a complex issue. Doping is a problem that affects many sports across the globe, and international bodies like WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) work hard to ensure fair play for all athletes, regardless of their nationality. Athletes from any country caught doping are held to account, and the goal is always to keep the sport clean for everyone. It's also worth noting that the progress in the 100 meters freestyle world record is a testament to the incredible talent, hard work, and advancements in training techniques across the world-not just in one country. Every swimmer out there is striving to be the best they can be, and it's this spirit of competition that drives the sport forward. Let's keep the conversation going, but always with respect and an open mind. It's the love for the sport that unites us all!

@@evoluing Unbelievable，Please look at THEM face!

Hey @SuperEdge67, I totally get where you're coming from, and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Sun Yang’s career has been surrounded by controversy, especially due to his doping allegations and the subsequent ban. However, the topic of the video is about the progression of world records in the 1500 meters freestyle, and Sun Yang's achievements are a significant part of that history, regardless of the controversies. It's important to acknowledge both the accomplishments and the issues surrounding any athlete. By including Sun Yang in this progression, we’re not condoning his actions, but rather, presenting the facts of how the record has evolved over time. That said, everyone’s opinion is valid, and discussions like these are crucial in understanding the complexities of sports and fairness. Thanks again for your comment! Let's keep the conversation going.

What do you mean?

The purple faces you're seeing on swimmers aren't necessarily a sign of anything sinister. It’s actually quite common in high-intensity sports like swimming, especially in events like the 100 meters freestyle, where athletes are pushing their bodies to the absolute limit. The dark purple color can be due to the increased blood flow and the extreme exertion, along with the cold water in the pool, which causes the skin to change color temporarily.

I just saw an interesting comment about the 2024 Men's 100m Freestyle race and wanted to take a moment to address it. The comment raises some serious concerns about health conditions like heart disease and asthma, and whether these conditions might be used to justify the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Let's break this down. First off, it's essential to recognize that athletes with conditions like asthma are often prescribed medications that are approved by sports governing bodies, including the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). These medications are monitored closely to ensure they don't give athletes an unfair advantage. It’s important to note that the sports community is very rigorous about drug testing. Any use of performance-enhancing drugs is taken very seriously and is strictly regulated. The idea that more than 50% of Western swimmers are "officially" on drugs is a serious accusation and would require substantial evidence to support. The transparency and integrity of sports are upheld by various organizations and governing bodies, and they continuously work to maintain a level playing field. If you're interested in a deep dive into the regulations, testing procedures, or even the health profiles of athletes, I’d recommend checking out the official guidelines from WADA and the respective swimming federations. Stay tuned for more updates and insights as we get closer to the event. And as always, thanks for engaging with the content and bringing up thought-provoking topics!

Thank you for the great question! When we look at the progression of world records in sports like the 100 meters freestyle, it's easy to think that humans are physically getting stronger or faster over time. However, the picture is a bit more complex. Firstly, improvements in records aren't solely due to changes in human physiology. A significant part of this progression comes from advancements in technology, training methods, and even nutrition. Swimsuit materials have evolved, pool designs have been optimized to reduce drag, and athletes have access to much more sophisticated training regimes than in the past. That said, while our bodies might not be drastically evolving in the biological sense over just a hundred years, we are becoming more effective at pushing our physical limits. Humans are learning how to maximize their potential with the tools and knowledge we have today. So, while the records show incredible progress, it's a mix of many factors-human ingenuity, technology, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Evolution, in the biological sense, is a much slower process, but in terms of human capability and achievement, we're definitely seeing an ongoing progression!

You are absolutely right!!!

Thanks for the comment! You're absolutely right-César Cielo's 46.91s was an incredible achievement that stood the test of time. The fact that it remained untouched for 13 years speaks to how ahead of the curve he was, even with the advantages of the skin suit. What’s really fascinating is how the sport is evolving so rapidly now. With advancements in training, technique, and even swimwear regulations, we're seeing records being pushed further and further. The progression in the last few years, highlights how competitive and fast-paced the sport has become. It’s amazing to witness this new era of swimming where every fraction of a second counts! Thanks again for watching and engaging with the video!

Thanks for the comment! You really nailed it with that dramatic countdown-19 Mississippis! That puts into perspective just how much the sport of swimming has evolved over the past century. Zoltán Halmay was an absolute legend in his time. When he set that world record of 65.8 seconds in 1905, it was mind-blowing. He was the Pan Zhanle of his era, pushing the limits of what was thought possible in swimming. But here’s where it gets interesting: the dramatic difference in their times-nearly 20 seconds-shows not just individual talent but the leaps we've made in technique, training, and technology. In Halmay’s day, they didn’t have the sleek swimsuits, advanced training regimens, or the same understanding of hydrodynamics that swimmers benefit from today. So, while Zhanle might blow past Halmay in a head-to-head race, it’s not just about who’s faster; it’s a testament to how far we’ve come in understanding the human body and the sport itself. Halmay paved the way, and every swimmer since has been building on that foundation. It’s a crazy gap, but it’s also a sign of progress-and who knows what the next 100 years will bring?

Seems like he could have swum across the Mississippi River in that time! 😂
