the quality of this video is phenomenal … simply cannot believe this was recorded 12 years ago

i think he's one of the most talented backstrokers ever!!his technique is so smooth.And you don't have to be tall to be a great swimmer,eliz beisel,kristina egerzegi,janet evans,rebecca soni are some examples and all brilliant.

i know right!! he's a total genius at swimming!! i was watching him swim for the london olympics, and he really IS super tiny compared to everyone else~ made me want to cheer for him automatically! lol definitely goes to show that good technique makes a huge difference - not just big muscles, like you said ^^

[@Viccobalta]

in my opinion the world's best backstroker; to achieve what he does when matt grevers has a foot's advantage in height is really quite remarkable

[@kittii]

the japanese's nickname for him is the 'prince of balance' b/c he can swim the backstroke with a bottle of water balanced perfectly on his forehead! you can find clips on youtube!!

[@ApostleOfDub]

holy fuck, his head is actually absolutely stationary the whole damn race.

[@HalfPinoyPride]

i hope i can become this good

Irie is great! However, the swimmer in the 2nd place is so upset and kind of rude to Irie
