@@rhysswimmingandgymnasticsleon was pretty much same pace as phelps in freestyle backstroke and butterfly, leon got MUCH ahead in the breaststroke so this means phelps weakest stroke was the breaststroke

[@Kasimir9911]

Best swimming performance of all time? 400m IM, the most challenging race you can do. Swam by the best swimmer of all time. One of his best disciplines. At his absolute peak. Completely dominant.

[@ttonttu]

I would say this individual performance IS the number one swimming performance and WR in swimming history. The time is insane! This world record will last long, but there will be a day this will be smashed too :)

Their stamina is freaking amazing

[@peters6119]

This is the only swimming WR to survive since the 2008 Olympics. The LZR Speedo suit resulted in most of them being obliterated in 2009 and now with 11 more seasons there since 2008 many of those records have also been broken but this one remains. That's how great a swim this was. This was probably the greatest single swim in history and he of course was the greatest swimmer in history.

[@aramkhachaturian8043]

tablelampdoor Kate Zeigler and Grant Hackett’s 1500 meters swims survived through the 08 olympics and 09 wc, yes they were broken later but they survived the supersuited world champs. This is the point I am making.

Fun fact , this was the race that his coach Bob Bowman said that Phelps told him before the games that he kept having a dream were he was swimming , and when he looked up at the clock and it had 3:07 on it , and Bob told him that it was probably his 350 split in the 400im if he wanted to go 4:03 , he said that the hairs on his neck stood up when he saw 3:07 flat at the 350 turn, lol great video.

[@fedrikrose2277]

At the aquatic world Championship of Budapest 2022 Leon Marchand won gold with 4:04.28 and was 44 cents behind Phelps world record. I think he'd probably train with the purpose of beating it although swimming the individual medley under 4:04 is pretty much an achievement by itself.

[@MrAykut23]

5:49 to time that move, whilst getting a blood rush to the head, but not losing your bearings, not using a nose blocker but most importantly for him kicking off that wall the hardest & the strongest possible, then doing 100m of breaststroke, & then a 100m of freestyle, but the type of freestyle where youre just breathing from the right & burying your head back in the water.

[@2slow2survive]

the big difference, especially in the beginning, were the turns. The commentators somehow totally missed the fact that Phelps simply pulverized the gaps after the first 50m backstroke and the first 50m breaststroke with his better glide phase and took the lead.
