phelps could break WR of Thorpe in swimming pool but I think that Thorpe would have chased him down if they had swum 200m across a river because no place for dolphin kick off wall :v

well, remember that Michael dominated the 200 free from 2005-2009 until he lost against Biedermann recently. In that period of time, Phelps broke the world record of the 200 FREE twice and won one olympic gold and two world championships so Michael has proved he's the most versatile swimmer who's ever lived.

I get so much satisfaction out of watching Phelps pop up to the surface after his long turns! It’s just epic, the others are racing and he’s miles in front but hasn’t even surfaced/started freestyling yet! (Last turn in particular is like 👌🏼- he actually disappears, he’s swimming so deep). It’s mesmerising, love watching his turns!

What is amazing is that he was 0.53 ahead of Thrope's split @ 150, but at the end only 0.20 ahead. Given that Phelps had an insane 3rd turn it goes to show how good Thorpe's last 50m was. If Thorpe in 2001 form Raced Phelps in 2007 form (both with LZRs), I would have to give it to Thorpe with a 1:43-mid WR. If Phelps was in Beijing shape then Thorpe would not be able to live with him over this distance. Phelps has come on remarkably, not just since Athens, but also in the last 12 months.

when Ian used to race the 200 he raced against Hoogenband, who beat him forcing him to outpace at Sydney 2000 Olympics. After that Ian remains in "control" of his races and always had a strategy of racing " 1-ok 2-ok 3-ok 4-i give everything I have". Had Ian raced the "modern" way of swimming 200 free he for sure have had 1.43 low PB.

The previous record was by Ian Thorpe, Thorpe destroyed everyone on the last turn and if he had this version of Phelps to compete against he would have broken the world record even more, seeing Phelps half a body length in front of Thorpe at 25m and noticing how quickly Thorpe started to catch up to Phelps at the end is incredible

It is magnificent because at the time non of us knew that the swimmers in this race contain so many world class swimmers. Zhang Lin of China, the 800m world record holder, Park of Korea, 400m Olympic gold medallist, Biedermann the 400m and 200m world record holder. Hoogenband was once a former record holder. Epic all the swimmer who lost in this race has found a way to surpass phelps! I think this is phenomenal.

But not this one. Polyurethane suit started with Speedo LZR in 2008 (especially at the Olympics that year). Prior to 2008, including at this 2007 Worlds, it's still textile suit. So basically, this swim by Phelp is still the WR is if you discount the high-tech suit from the 2008-2009 season.
@MehmetOzturk-xt1cp11 ай бұрын
No, it is not. In 2007, Phelps used the polyurethane swimsuit and broke world records in the 200m butterfly and 200m freestyle. 2006 200m butterfly 1.53.80. 2007 1.52.09. It is not possible to accelerate this much in 1 year. He also swam 1.52.03 in the 200m butterfly in 2008. In the 200m freestyle, if she had a textile swimsuit, she would have swam around 1.45.10 in 2007.

maybe? are you kidding me?. He's the undisputed Best swimmer ever. Popov, Spitz, Biondi, De Bruin, Hackett,etc all the greats have said that Michael is the best ever. He's won 14 golds in Olympic history, 22 golds in worlds and has broken 37 world records. Michael has won golds in the toughest swim styles: 200 fly, 200 and 400IM and has won gold in the 200 free so what else he has to do to get your respect? at least he has the respect of the swim experts and greats.
