The last 15m of Olympic swimming but the finishes get increasingly closer (2000-2020)

[@akiraowo3047]

how can you put caeleb dressel's 50 free from tokyo ahead of phelps's 100 fly from beijing? dressel dominated in the 50 it was not close

[@jorritmorrit]

I don't think there is a race that was closer than the 100 fly from Beijing

[@akiraowo3047]

@@jorritmorrit thats what i'm saying, that was a legendary race and you compare it to the 50m tokyo final where dressel won by 0.51s

The Olympics lookback rlly made me realize how fast the sport is getting. Us swim fans are so spoiled with some of the times we are getting that we are almost numb to its significance

You left out the most famous (infamous) example. At the 1972 Olympics, Tim McKee of the U.S. lost the 400 IM to Sweden's Gunnar Larsson by two one-thousandths of a second (0.002 seconds). There should have been dual gold medals awarded, but they only gave the gold to Larsson. There was a lot of controversy. The next year, FINA changed the rules, and from then on, races were timed to one-hundredths of a second, not one-thousandths.
