Kosuke Kitajima Japan Swim 2012 100M breaststroke

[@manuelrdgz]

Incredible technique. His form is impeccable. This is his strength. Perhaps the greatest breastroke technique to power to glide conversion ever. Much respect!

[@ppkkndesu7079]

ガッツポーズに鳥肌立った。多分日本で北島を超えるカッコいい選手は出てこないんじゃないか？

[@AC-fg9wc]

この時の北島一番良かったと思う。 日本記録更新したし でもいまはもう…やばいな 年かな……

[@ianwong0227]

Its crazy to think that peaty's WR is 2 seconds faster (didn't expect to see so many old comments)

[@BigMichael42]

Where and how can I get these?

[@jdsmitty325]

He also was circle-swimming that race. You can see he was on one side of the lane the first 50, then the other side the second 50. If he stays straight and nails the turns he will go a sub-58

[@Rikyell]

WOOOOOOW!!! It's always a good feeling everytime I see your races, very exciting! Love it! Let's see in London Kosukeeeee!!

[@BigMichael42]

Where can I get the arena aquaforce swift goggles??

[@rolsrasta]

He is amazing, such a stream line after kick :). Cant wait to see you in London.

[@好きドデカミン]

マジでカッコよすぎる！ もちろん全員尊敬してるけど、やっぱこの言動で魅せられるカリスマ性が北島康介って感じ

[@callumbarnes554]

where do I get kitajimas jammers

[@academicjock]

He was out at about 11.7 for the 25 ... WAY TOO FAST! Then 16, 14.6 and 16.6 ... he died. If he took it out at 12.5, he'd go under 58. BUT, ya can't argue with that guy's strength and technique ... his form is beautiful.

前半タッチ流れてこの記録はやばい

[@MARVELousNBA]

Respond to this please: Arena Aquaforce Swift (the goggles kitajima is wearing) or View Blade MR V-120

[@ganzimugula3038]

Yes very true Manuelrdgz the podium will have only sub 58 secs swims. I have a gut feeling we might get a late 57 seconds. I love Kosuke Kitajima. very modest guy I met in ath Worlds last year in Shanghai.

[@神田健志-k2y]

1位の北島、2位の立石、3位の山口も今は・・・・・・・・

thank you!

[@海斗-k4b]

北島かっけーわ

[@kazu0123210]

北島選手の本番（オリンピック）にピークを持ってくる技術は、過去２大会の結果で証明済み。 ロンドンでも絶対やってくれると信じてます！！

[@はんきょどん-k9r]

記録もやばいけど、それ以上に覇気とか覚悟で魅せる漢 カリスマがすごい

[@AlexZiro25]

Akane-banashi brought me here

北島はどこまでいっても,驚かしてくれる 　正直今年はもうだめかと思っていたけど、やってくれるね。 今年のオリンピックも面白くなりそうです。

[@splitkostanjeuma]

doping? No man this is a product of great technique

[@NZJacobNZ]

He looks a lot smoother. I'm suprised rickard has the record over him.

[@studio_mes]

かっこいい、超かっこいい！

[@250omi]

明日は金だ‼頑張れ‼北島‼

[@MARVELousNBA]

Rakuten, it's a japanese marketing website

[@DatCangSwimClub]

R.I.P Dale Oen!!

[@aliceshrestha]

OMFG! He will break the world record in London!

[@volcanus20]

it's because Rickard did it in 2009 with the suits while Kitajima took the year off after Beijing

[@honinbou14]

すごい男だ

[@mt-ot4kf]

やっぱり速い
