WHY is the men’s 200 back another event that is consistently considered by many to be one of the STRONGEST world records, and how did it get there?

All this research and background information you provide on these videos is great for the sports, and to also see the progression of events and periods of advancements and swimmers who took the sports farther than before is cool to see!

The shot of the world record swim at the very end of the video went on for too long and triggered a copyright claim from World Aquatics. Re-edited to cut between a couple different points and another swim and that did the trick (so far at least)

Great video as always! Great to see doing someone entertaining swim content like this. I think these videos about unbreakable world records wont be done without doing mens 200free. That 1:42.0 is insane, swimmers swimming 1:44s to win evrything for over 10years.however we know about someone who might have a shot soon(🇹🇩)

Please could you cover Ledecky's video game time records. For example, the 800m free WR. I feel like that record would still prove hard for many men in World or Olympic Semi-finals...stupidly quick

Peirsol has never been within two seconds of that time outside the super suit era.

Bc he officially announced his retirement shortly after in Feb 2011, just a year and a half after his world record. But he only got 1 fully tapered meet after that record which was in 2010 but he said that he accomplished everything he wanted to do in swimming and had other interests so his heart wasn't in that swim.
@XDF7453 ай бұрын
@@sethaldrich6902 He had a lot of tapered meets before that year and never got near that kind of time including the Olympics the previous year. It's pretty clear this is just another one of those outlier super suit swims and the real WR is Lochte's 2011 swim.

@@XDF745 No, he did not, he had one tapered swim after the 2009 world championships, but according to what he said himself his heart wasn't in swimming anymore and he had accomplished everything he wanted to so his heart wasn't even in that one swim. I'm not sure you were watching swimming at this time or were a really young person at this time but I was was actually watching swimming back then and he didn't really compete after 2009 world championships so that was it for him, no other real chances. Not saying that Lochte's non suited record shouldn't be acknowledged, Im just reiterating Piersol is no joke and very may have gotten close to his record without the suit. Remember he wasn't wearing the full body like Biederman's, he was only wearing the legs and second is alot of time between Lochte and Piersol. I believe he could have dipped under Lochte's time in a non super suit.

@@sethaldrich6902 He had a ton of opportunities to do such a swim in his career and was only able to do it in the suit era. Must be a coincidence of course. Those other insanely fast super suit swims are coincidences as well.

@@XDF745 he only mostly only swam with the leg suit, he progressively dropped time. Lochte kept swimming, he did not, so I guess we will never know what he could have done in a jammer. So i guess agree to disagree.

Oh I see what happened, that’s annoying. The splits are correct but the final time on the graphic is wrong, it should be 1:52.96. I had to remake that graphic because there was something wrong with the first file. When I made it the second time I accidentally left Kos’s time of 1:54 in the bottom box. Good catch!

2:55 please either use the American pronunciation of Roland Matthes’ name, ‘Math-ez’, or the German ‘Ma-tez’. It isn’t pronounced ‘Maiths’ anywhere as far as I know. And John Naber who I believe is the first to break two minutes for the 200 m backstroke, is pronounced like ‘neighbor’ not ‘nab-er’. John Naber was even an American sports commentator for a while, so I find it hard to understand why you can’t pronounce the names of two of the most famous backstrokers correctly.

If you swam backstroke with those super suit pants you know how incredibly helpful they were, even better than the full suit
@alyxander84203 ай бұрын
I don't think the pant suits a lot of these guys were wearing helped backstrokers nearly as much as the full body Jaked or BlueSeventy suits from 2008-2009 were helping butterflyers and freestylers...especially for athletes with a lot of upper body strength. I noticed at the time that a lot of backstrokers preferred the open top in order to breathe better (especially in the 200, which is so taxing on the lungs). The full body (and by that, I men the kind that went over the shoulders - not the Ian Thorpe wrist length one) would zip up so tight that it would squeeze your core into a very solid stable position. It basically gave everyone a better alignment in the water. In fact, part of why I think it didn't help Dressel all that much when he tried one of the now illegal Jaked suits in SCM a few years back was because his balance and core stability are already so perfect. But it definitely closed this gap for a lot of swimmers. Oh, and the buoyancy factor...as a D1 college swimmer who graduated in 2009, and I vividly remember my teammates and I taking a BlueSeventy full body suit, spreading it out and then throwing a ten pound brick on it only to watch it stay afloat, and thinking, "That's cheating..." lol The irony is that those "super suit" era suits, which did SO MUCH MORE to help than the "tech suits" of today scarcely cost more than $200, as opposed to the far less effective suits of today, that cost three times as much.
