2015 Phillips 66 Nationals: Men's 200m Butterfly A Final

[@thepikachuoftexas3871]

That's the first time in a long time I've seen Phelps celebrate like that! Awesome!

[@aehui777]

SalinasTexas you're right. He hasn't done that since winning the 100 fly in Rome back in 2009.

[@1eea959]

SalinasTexas yea~

[@noa9136]

Juan Sebastian Volland Unnecessary comment

[@noa9136]

Juan Sebastian Volland You do a great job at making yourself look stupid.

[@noa9136]

Sebastian Volland Do you realize how many grammatical errors are in each of your comments? You're just spitting nonsensical garbage which probably makes sense in your defective little mind. Do you not see the irony in saying my English skills are poor when your comments are the moronic ones? I really do appreciate your determination to try to sound intelligent though. Keep trying buddy, maybe an education would help.

[@carlideportivista]

BACK BABY. RIO AWAITS FOR HIM. BEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME!!!!

[@chris9871000]

*swimmer

[@Aakos94]

***** athlete*

[@richardgrace5043]

+Big AZN probably because in every other Olympic sport you only have one even where in swimming you have like 20... so is pretty much easier to triple up on medals If you you doing 3or more events in swimming where someone else only has one event in the sport they are doing

[@richardgrace5043]

best athlete of all time? yeah definitely not...best swimmer yes best athlete no

[@richardgrace5043]

best athlete of all time? yeah definitely not...best swimmer yes best athlete no

[@zzoonyp]

2:04 It looks as if Phelps is standing in the spotlight.

[@americanman9424]

Lol, he was

“It’s what you do in the dark, that puts you in the light.”

The sun was a paid actor

[@brianfretes3033]

PHELPS IS BACK!!!!! RIO HERE HE COMES!!!!

[@mathcat5]

That was a ridiculous race, wow. MP is so freaking happy at the end :D

[@mannyrivas3054]

He's back baby!

[@richardgrace5043]

not so much...he's going up against a lot of college swimmers and club swimmers no professional swimmers at all

[@mannyrivas3054]

+richard grace Jack Conger (who got second) actually put up the 7th fastest time in the world, not sure, and it's still the fastest time in the world

[@lollllfol]

+richard grace he swam the fastest time since 2009 dumbass. Fast enough to win the world championships and the 2012 Olympics

[@jedimusic35]

That was a world class swim by The GOAT. Michael Phelps demolished the field. He is back

[@xoxo20000]

Michael Phelps is the reason I even started to follow swimming. Watching his race for 8 golds in 2008 is a great memory I have. I'm so happy he's back and performing very well. I hope to see him in Rio.

[@neo032895]

What a beast. Phelps for #Rio2016!

[@jordanyoung1769]

HOLY HE IS BACK THE GOAT IS BACK!!!

[@sp00kyan0n4]

that is great for michael! this will give him a motivational boost going into rio 2016

[@sajini7925]

It looked like a bunch of fish following their father

[@nickcade5712]

lol so true

[@gipbwok2008]

Jack Conger is magnificent in free and back too. I had the treat of seeing him swim a few times in his summer league, Montgomery County Swim League (MCSL), when he was a teenager. MCSL is a great league in terms of competition and fun and is where Katie Ledecky and Mike Barrowman (world record holder in 200 Breast 1992-2002) also swam as kids.

[@sobebabe1]

Thats awesome good job michael phelps your my champ

[@metalmail]

OMG He is BACK, a legend in the making.

[@mamochan4]

Love how excited he was.

[@sarahshoemaker6150]

This is my event! Good god, I want to swim like Phelps. I die at 150, and it's all I can do to keep steady in the last 50. Just...wow. I've never seen a under 2 minute in person, this is amazing.

[@MinhMinimal]

+Izzle Chick add some breastroke to arms while maintaining constant dolphin kicks then remove breastroke gradually. This method familiarises yourself to distance fly and one day you will make it even over 200m.

[@sarahshoemaker6150]

Minh H. Nguyen Thanks! I will definitely try it! I came late to swimming, and so I didn't have long to build up endurance. I kind of jumped in and hoped for the best. And then joined winter, and repeated the process. All help is greatly appreciated.

[@MinhMinimal]

I trained in gifted sport team as a kid and keep this healthy habit as adult til now. I kinda discovered this tip myself when searching for way to complete my 500m fly. 6 months ago, I hardly can finish 100m. You may be amazed by the distance covered by this hybrid style at first attempt as I was. If it works, let me know! It means I'm on the right track for my distance fly

[@Aakos94]

Holy shit he is putting up some fucking MONSTER times

[@dawidpaluszkiewicz7545]

STILL THE BEST !!!

[@EduardoMorenoJr]

Michael Phelps is back!

[@conorl2239]

He's back.

[@apoorv5upadhyay]

He wasn't this happy after the eighth Gold in Beijing! MP killed it

[@danielchingon96]

Wow that's michael phelps.

[@thepikachuoftexas3871]

The God of the Pool

[@silversauceran]

+SalinasTexas The Goat in the Pool

[@jasonmcmechan2072]

The Pikachu of Texas God bless!

[@kuo-chenchang8207]

He is back to the top ...... Where can I find the video of his 100m Fly final?

[@yibambe4ever74]

Chad Le Clos can brag after he becomes the greatest Olympian....which I don't think he will. Chad is a good swimmer,but he doesn't know how to talk wisely.

[@erickp.c4665]

Aqua man short course doesn’t matter nigga

[@katUnMause]

rapidly tap 4:28

[@TheJoker10259]

Phelps is a fucking beast

[@clyntmiran8943]

More reason for me to watch swimming again "goat"

[@conorl2239]

That was his best time in his entire CAREER. Wouldn't surprise me if he gets another 8 in Rio next summer.

[@HendyRoddyck]

I think he'll compete in 100 and 200 Fly, 200 IM and 4x100 Medley in Rio 2016.

[@harunotodoroki]

You show them Michael!

[@randomchannel-px6ho]

Great from phelps, he need to watch conger though, he just transitioning to long course and We will se some monster times from him soon

[@michaelenisnck7422]

GOAT!

[@kimberlyforti7596]

Phelps Is back!!! He is an actual fish

[@paulathomas3430]

everyone I see him compete I get chills...

[@WallaceTHE100]

Where is 100 fly video at?

[@olgagora01]

I love you !!!! BRAVO!!!

[@ilker021089]

Strong 👍

[@dax1234]

es el mejor d todos los tiempos

[@AGUCHAZA]

Anybody can tell me the name of the U2 song almost at the final of the video?

[@PatrickMiles1]

Is Phelps going to be in the next Olympics?

[@supatvshowuploader]

Patrick Miles Most likely. He hasn't confirmed it yet, though.

[@PatrickMiles1]

Ok, so does that mean that he's qualified, but just hasn't said he wants to go?

[@supatvshowuploader]

Patrick Miles Well, Olympic Trials don't take place until July of next year, and he's definitely qualified for that. If he keeps it up, he'll qualify for the Olympics for sure and hopefully medal.

[@basemmagd9185]

Michael can brag all he wants for having the fastest time this year in this event, but he is not going to because he is not that kind of person. That is Chad Le Clos' job.

[@connersnare2952]

First of all, phenomenal swim! That last 50 you saw the old Phelps with all of that closing speed! Secondly, would anybody be able to help me with the walkout song? Because I can't find the name anywhere

[@DromeG60]

Conner Snare My Shazam says it's called "How High" by Bad Rabbits :) try that

[@LochteandPhelpsLover]

he makes it look so easy

[@tashmahal]

Welcome to San Antonio Phelps, San Antonio's air pedigree breeds champions, .......Michael needs fan support though for his last day from locals such as Austin, Dallas, Houston, Corpus, El Paso, Laredo etc. its on national tv,

[@IICmonManII]

is there a live stream for the event?

[@HollywoodWestern]

Usaswimming.org

[@enginunsal7573]

now it is about time to beat Le Clos and win that title back again.

[@chatbud]

Does anybody know why Phelps chose to stay home to swim this instead of competing at Kazan? I don't get it. Why did he choose to swim against "amateurs" here when his Rio opponents like Chad le Clos and Cseh are at Kazan...

[@chatbud]

Oh yea, thanks for the explanation.

[@conorl2239]

He is suspended from competing there because of his DUI last September.

[@JustLouIt]

Desmond P T It wasn't really a choice :/

[@supatvshowuploader]

JustLouIt It kinda was. The director of USA Swimming actually gave him some slack and allowed him to compete if he wanted. Phelps' said that he deserved to not swim and stuck with the original decision.

[@supatvshowuploader]

bluewhale18 Bull-fucking-shit. He agreed to not participate in the championships; USA swimming gave him the choice. I love how you make these claims without jack-shit to back it up.

[@1eea959]

phelps is back!!!!

[@verward]

dude, what happened after this? how did he get slower in rio?

[@nightflyer3242]

His final 50 in Rio was the reason he was slower. His first 150 meters in Rio was faster than Athens, Beijing, and London, but being over 30, Phelps just does not have the closing speed he had when he was younger.

[@tgshark1]

Glad he is doing well after his legal issues, we all make mistakes, let those mistakes make us stronger, go Phelps.

[@LuisIvanSChimal]

He's back baby... #TurndownForWhat to Kasan2015

[@walkerbrierley4789]

Amazing

[@pixielale-klasicki6118]

like give me your technique please!!

[@miker6570]

He is competing with people at least 10 years younger than him. But he he still has the mojo to compete in rio.

[@TSUTENKAKU007]

Excellent!

[@pacificcoast3381]

MP IS BACK FOR THE GOLD.

[@conorl2239]

It's insane how much talent this guy has. He could probably lie in bed until the Olympics next summer and still get at least 4 gold medals.

[@TSUTENKAKU007]

This announcer is a gold medal winner!

[@ceu5064]

Cseh László THE BEST RIA RIA HUNGARIA

[@rinconzellgadiss]

TriplaxXx Tripla XxX Lazlo is great swimmer but he knows that this year he is the fake world champion, the true champion is Phelps but he was banned by personal problems, pathetic.

[@marcoguadagno4384]

Lazlos a cool guy and a great swimmer but there is no chance he's gonna beat phelps

[@jonaloin]

Francisco Ariza Sorry he's the real world champion this year. If Phelps does stuff to get him banned, it's only his fault and he doesn't deserve to be champion. Not this year anyway.

[@rinconzellgadiss]

jonaloin ok it is your opinion, for me Lazlo is champion only because Phelps was not there by his federation, and Lazlo thinks it too. In Rio, Lazlo will see the reality again, bad luck. Regards

[@tillapasta]

Holy cow that was fast. He would have won Worlds!

[@billybob6604]

Yeah 😂

[@WickedSpade]

if I had to swim that far without stopping even just the freestyle. I honestly think I would pass out.. or drown due to a full body lockup. I'm not even fat.

[@fruitnoob8289]

Are you a competitive swimmer or? Because if so, that's kinda bad. No offense tho :3

[@olympian00]

Bruh I played water polo in the same pool as Michael Phelps 😩

[@thomaschexmix643]

Pause at 2:40 look at phelps

[@richargeablebee4338]

inspired again..

[@pameparada8223]

great time for U

[@haoussazakariaaek3660]

Phelps is back bitch, better wathc out Le Clos, you gonna pay, big time

[@Just-Jouska]

Fuck yea michael is back!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JaDanBar97]

I hope he beats Chad

[@freddiewhybrow6775]

Lazlo csech just went 1:52.91

[@freddiewhybrow6775]

+mozart mario he was Tapered and shaved, idk if he will Win a rio in the 200 But I think he will win the 100

[@antoinedefo6986]

Do you keep thinking this after Phelps trials results (51"00 on 100m fly and 1'54"84 on 200m fly)

[@freddiewhybrow6775]

+mozart mario lets just sit back and enjoy the last few races phelps will swim before the greatest athlete of all time retires!

[@wolfwonders580]

It is actually 100m

[@itsofficialzooecia1644]

The guy in lane 2 is my coach ahhhhhh

[@porqler0]

the shark is back!

[@laurenclark9954]

What I thought before swimming 20 fly: *Swimming 200 fly* "THIS HURTS SO FRICKIN MUCH" *After 200 fly* "PRAISE THE LORD I'M SO PROUD OF MY SELF" What I think after swimming 200 fly. "This isn't that bad, I have a good strat!"

[@sarahshoemaker6150]

+Lauren Clark It's my event, I swim in almost every meet. I swear, my coach wants to murder me.

[@laurenclark9954]

Izzle Chick 200 fly isn't that bad because I am a butterflyer The strategy is to NOT SPRINT AT ALL for the first 175. I am 10 and my best 100 fly time is a 1:11 and when I went easy it was a 1:13 WITHOUT a fast skin (Because in races I naturally go faster). I wasn't really that tired after swimming it. But my arms hurt a little. Also body dolphin as far as you can, it can really help. My total time was a 2:36, so I'm in the top 10 for 11 year old girls for that event :D Anyways good luck swimming that event all the time, my coach is making it, "My event". o: (If you body dolphin a lot you won't get so tired)

[@laurenclark9954]

Why did I explain all of that.... Well good luck with all that butterfly :p

[@sarahshoemaker6150]

Lauren Clark Wow! Very talented! Good luck with your stroke! Yeah, I'm a butterflier too, but it doesn't change the fact that I always go out a little too fast XD. I have that habit in all my races. I got out fast, and I bring it back down for the middle, and then sprint the end, and for 200 fly I always get really nervous ad end up shooting out. I am awful under pressure! :D

[@laurenclark9954]

Izzle Chick Ohhhh I understand xD I usually sprint out really fast but I can control it, also if the event seems long, sing "Hello" After a few words you're already done with a 25. :D And thx :p

[@connorlittle6126]

hey i went to this

[@bryanlee1519]

Phelps is USA's spotter because of his Germany

[@TheCopper05]

With that race, Michael Phelps would have beaten the current World Champion, Laslo Cesh, and Chad Le Clos at this years Fina World Swimming Championships.

[@timeakurucz7548]

Jack Weger he wasnt there, so you never know

[@carldawgh]

Timea Moore why wasnt he there?

[@carldawgh]

***** and i thought it was the weed

[@carldawgh]

[@falconeagle2101]

hello this is Herdrick Boamah i hate swimming in the pool

[@zhao4113]

Owww my ears hurt can anyone guess why?

[@JaxxoDam]

Meanwhile in the 16th fina world championship. NO ONE swam as fast in the 200 butterfly final. Lmao wtf is going on

[@henrytheswimmer9453]

lmao the commentator makes it feel that jack conger has a chance

[@PTunnelly]

yeah. smash that chad le clos guy in Rio! This is what he's got trash-talking MP

[@min-lu]

He had some terrible splitting. 53 then 59. Jeez

[@alec6583]

Hah! he learned his lesson last time. No slowing down between now and Rio.

[@floridagators4life]

MP = GOAT

[@DromeG60]

Meanwhile in America...

[@MrStranger1944]

Then he smoked a spliff around the drum circle to celebrate.

[@r0drig0lac1]

damn

[@DiotheCypriot]

Jesus christ do swimmers actually have to listen to commentary while they swim? Is there something in their ears?

[@sarahshoemaker6150]

+Diomides Mavroyiannis We can't really understand it. If we hear anything, it's an unintelligible yelling mess. Sometimes music is played while we swim. We can't hear a thing beyond our coaches yelling at us to go faster (and even that's touch and go, depending on the coach.) :)

[@shoneek4220]

New song out called Michael Phelps soundcloud.com/shoneek/michael-phelps-shoneek-ft-ogbambam-2

[@KingNUFC]

Poor crowd

[@kansasthunderman1]

What's up with all the knee-length swim suits? Everything in men's swimsuits and shorts is all knee-length and it seems to be some strange fad that won't go away.

[@erikacevedo18]

thats as long as they are allowed to be. with modern swimsuit technology, the more the faster

[@kansasthunderman1]

+Erikacevedo18 Jammer swimsuits are not faster, they're more just irritating and restrict movement.

[@erikacevedo18]

+kansasthunderman1 at that level of competition the jammers arnt just any jammers, they compress your quads more and give you a more streamlined silhouette compared to briefs
