4x100 free relay men, Worlds Barcelona 2013

[@sarkaprokopova7726]

What a phenomenal swim in the last leg by the French. Omg!!! Stravius - what a beast. This has to be the best comeback ever in a relay! Most exciting relay (although I loved their 2012 Olympics win too).

[@Ibranche]

It was good. Lesak's comeback against Bernard in Beijing 2008 and France's revenge in the 2012 London Olympics (Agnel vs Lochte) were just as good. Also, Stravius may be good, but Gilot is the boss.

[@TheMajin7]

This has to be the most exciting sporting event on Earth. It is always so close! Love it! Yet I always seem to miss it.

[@Yourmom-dd3fh]

u want an amazing sporting event ? watch France vs New zealand 1999 and 2007

[@leomelchior168]

Stravius best of all, just amazing. Love our team ! And vive la France

[@Dearsons]

Fabian Gillot on the third leg for France was electric. He really set Stravius up

[@georgefirth]

What a combination that was! Gilot to Stravius 🔥🔥🔥

[@jayzinho1885]

Quelle splendide coulée de stravius !!

[@nightflyer3242]

This was the race that made Phelps reconsider his retirement after the 2012 Olympics. He was in the stands and visibly angry at the result. He vowed to win the sprint relay back for the USA and he accomplished it in Rio.

[@Maxoooooouuuuuu]

Maybe true, but Phelps and US were be beaten by France in London Olympics 😉

[@ZaeRoZz]

C'est quoi cette coulée de fou de Stravius ?! jamais vu sa !!

[@mfh5129]

Un grand bravo à l'équipe de France et à Stravius impressionnant mais n'oublions pas Fabien Gilot, pour moi, l'artisan essentiel de la victoire. Regardez la fin de son relais...

[@blaszykyann4909]

Je sais, il a fait un chrono de 46,90 s.

[@rascasse83]

France, from 7th down to 4th, back down to 1st...great comeback !

[@tanagool]

amazing under water streamline for 4th France

[@falcone2009]

Now Stravius is God of underwater kicks

[@filippapis9515]

Sickest relay of all time! DAMN ITS EVEN!!!

[@anesdj4282]

"And here comes Stravius" Stravius underwater ms were epic, they should be studied at the uminstitufe of swimming

[@stevelambert3418]

Stravius is just amazing especially underwater. Put him on the 2008 team in Beijing and in my opinion they beat the U.s. by a full second.

[@lilimaniac]

Soooo proud to be French !!

[@deliverytraining6646]

But look at the turn from Stravious, epic

[@marstonforever]

Like in 2012, excepted it was france who won in the 20 last meters (Agnel vs Lochte, remember?)

[@michealmoore8135]

Pure class!.....Vive la France

[@rascasse83]

but look at the turn from STRAVIUS !!!!! :D

[@Dearsons]

Epic!!!!!

[@yannick25a1]

So exciting..The comentators speak abou the french only at the last 50 meters...We says in France.; Impossible is not french.. and after Agnel, it was nearly impossible..

[@christsuma3393]

But look at that turn from Stravius!....breath taking...there needs to be a turning gospel according to Stravius...!

[@21O966]

FRANCE World champions!!!!!!! its the best 4X100 free relay team they are OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS 2012 and EUROPE Champions in small and big pool ..they have won all what do u want more ???

[@michaelrose8268]

Lol u haven't won it at an international competition since then

[@jpc7118]

@@michaelrose8268 Yes, but French swimming federation has always had 50 times less money, swimmers and infrastructure than US, Russia, Australia, but still managed to put few times some competitive squad.. .a true miracle...

[@stoltenberg1550]

love how doped us relay arrived 2nd.

[@tomerkatzman3173]

what's the name of this commentator?

[@sofianeettristan2013]

Proud to be French🇫🇷

[@powcod7455]

This is a classic example of 2 swimmers (fiegen and izotov) only focusing on eachother and going out at 50m way too quickly and stravious was able to sneak in there

[@didierlemoine6771]

Well the french did not stolen the award from anybody they won it :))

[@becks23mt]

Idiot, he is talking figuratively. Dumb ass.

[@christoba41]

aaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!!! THE FRENCH IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

[@westozzy]

+christo ba not in the sport of swimming. The US are, then possibly Australia. Unsure of where the French actually stand. You dont become the best just by winning a relay.

[@Yourmom-dd3fh]

Manaudou, Stravius, Gilot, Agnel they all won individual titles so stfu dumbarse

[@veronicapuchalt5070]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

[@juismac]

J.Feigen won the silver in the individual 100 free a few days later losing only to J.Magnussen ( who swam quite a poor opening leg for Australia) but no excuse not to bring it home for the U.S..

[@fabiaanovski]

la ultims posta de framcia wawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[@jeanfrancoiscarle7440]

Un vrais sous marin le Stravius 2 coulees d un autre' monde le moin charismatique de l'équipe a tout casser se jour la

[@Maxoooooouuuuuu]

Stravius moins charismatique?!? Le mec a quand même fait une sacrée carrière (outre le relais, il est champion du monde sur 100m dos) qui n'a absolument rien à envier aux 3 autres.

[@deepaknagadi]

Is that the best 100 Meters ever ?

[@Shinoda908]

From who? If you're asking about any of the individual splits, the fastest here was the 3rd french swimmer who went 46.90......but, the fastest split *ever* is by an American called Jason Lezak who went 46.06 at the 2008 Olympics in the 4x100 free relay.

[@linaz4223]

Shinoda908 (back when swimmers were wearing polyurethane full body suits).

[@Shinoda908]

Lina Desbois Good point. I think the fastest ever textile-suit split in a relay belongs to Pieter van den Hoogenband from the 2004 Olympics, right? He went something like 46.74?

[@linaz4223]

I didn't know that. Thank you for letting me know!

[@pizzaboy6877]

Shinoda908 Yannick Agnel went the same time in the anchor leg during the relay in London, i think they both share the fastest split in textile.

[@vanessajacobucci2361]

nothing to say except that FRANCE is the best

[@leaphorn34]

French stole it, but didn't talk like US.

[@jennieapplehead]

If only Michael Phelps was there 🥺

[@adamroflll]

1 word: gilot

[@yibambe4ever74]

adamroflll he doesn’t stand a chance in both 2012 & 2016 olympics against MP

[@Dearsons]

Amazing

[@hjoxie1895]

Last moment of glory for France".........

[@mannyrivas3054]

So close all the way!!! 😧

[@paull6773]

Stoned , i think we have to use a another word other than dark horse.

[@allydea]

You're welcome to use another expression. The rest of us will continue using it, since there's nothing wrong with it.

[@naivo31]

je suis français et je suis content que la France gagne mais je suis ecoeuré par le chauvinisme du commentateur français sur la chaine nationale (A. boyon) que des fois ça donne envie de prendre partie pour un autre pays

[@ve7yan]

yeah, pack 4 teams within half a second

[@justine_chv6158]

🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@ve7yan]

right, duhh, remember 2008 Beijing? The commentator spoke for France for months before the race and 380 meters of the race.... Your big man Bernard was robbed by Jason Lizak by 0.000000001 haha

[@Yourmom-dd3fh]

and then ? record are made to get beaten, what about phelps fucked by Agnel ? all your steroids and shit cant win vs the rest of the world

[@martinleborgne-peres9228]

Take off the swimsuit of Lezak and he's nothing.

[@TheZakariabenkhadda]

AGNEL !!!!

[@0innerself0]

Zakaria Benkhadda Snoussi Agnel was actually bad on this relay. Nowhere near to his level a year back.

[@sarkaprokopova7726]

Didn't he retire shortly after?

[@sarkaprokopova7726]

Not a great swim by Agnel at all unfortunately.
