Ye Shiwen Breaks 400m Individual Medley World Record - London 2012 Olympics

[@ch1do121]

People need to watch a little closer to Ye Shiwen's strategy in this swim. She does one kick in the butterfly leg, she barely kicks in the backstroke leg, she does no pull down in the breastroke leg. And it's no wonder she can go so fast in the free style leg. She's been saving her legs and breath the whole race and keeping up with everyone. Good stuff.

[@anesdj4282]

Definitely she just clutched that freestyle leg, the other stroke were still efficient and stayed up close there

[@a55tech]

does an extra couple kicks really make much difference?

[@zz94400]

Sure her strategy to save legs was perfect but there was so much doubt when you can make almost the same return (58s5) as Ryan lochte !suspisious

Ye Shiwen was 16 here, breaking the world record in the 4IM. She made an epic comeback this summer in the 2BRST taking silver. Throughout the years she struggled and fell greatly, with poor form and even failed to win podium most of the time. She almost didn’t qualify for Rio. It got to the point in 2017 she even considered retiring, and took a year break from swimming. Now she’s one of the best again. wow. What a woman!

If we look at Ye Shiwen and at the American swimmer who has won 22 olympic medals, the latter is more likely to use performance enhancing drugs than Ye Shiwen. prior to the Olympics, more than 100 Chinese athletes were drug screened; none failed. - during the games, many more were screened, including all medalists; none failed. - Ye has never failed a drugs test. - Ye has a record of breaking records in her sport:

Jason Lezak of the USA recorded a time of 46 seconds flat when he anchored the US relay time to victory over France in the 2008 Olympics. Nobody expected that sort of time from Lezak....He is no Michael Phelps. But, yet, no one questioned it. No one accused him of using substance. Ye Shiwen, on the other hand, posted a world record time to go along with her amazing victory....MANY, including the US coach, were quick to point out she used drugs. Now is that justice?

[@tmat04]

Elmena Saunders And what do you mean by THAT?!!!!!!!

[@tmat04]

MrVpassenheim By your standards, is it fair to say that Connor Dwyer of the US used drugs? I, mean, this isn't a swimming relay race and he managed to shave off almost a second and one half off his previous PB time. Lol.

[@tmat04]

MrVpassenheim​​​​​ Did Katinka Hosszu used drugs to help her swim as fast as she did at Rio's Women's 400m IM? WOW....Just .15 behind a purportedly DOPED WORLD RECORD TIME, at age 27? What's more she swam almost 5 seconds faster than she did at the same event 4 years ago, when she was younger. At age 27 (at the 2012 London Olympics), not even Michael Phelps was able to replicate, let alone BETTER, his previous excellent performances. And Hosszu's amazing time of 4:28:58 took place during a heat (not the final event). Now, it's not that it is suspicious when a World Record time is broken during a preliminary....But you'd mostly expect the best times at the Final event, since it consist of the best field of athletes who are fully motivated. But, hey, Hosszu must have doped, didn't she?

[@tmat04]

MrVpassenheim​​​​​ "Is there an actual, logical argument in anything your saying?" I think you meant YOU'RE, not "your." In any case, my argument IS in fact logical. The Olympic committee deleared Ye Shiwen is clean, yet you're INSISTING that she doped without any evidence, whatsover! And I'm saying that by your standards Katinka Hosszu also doped. If you thought Ye's performance in the 2012 Olympic 400 IM final was bizarre, then you should consider Hosszu's outlandish! Or maybe outWATERish would be the better word to use (if such word exist). Hosszu swam more than 7 seconds faster at this year's Olympic 400IM, than she did just four years ago at London. And she couldn't even medal in the same event at the London Olympics (despite being at younger age of which swimmers are considered in their prime). But she managed to break the World Record by more than 2 seconds at age 27. In one of the messages you sent me, you pointed out that no other 16 year old swims like Ye does. Well, no other 27 year old swims like Hosszu does. 

[@MrVpassenheim]

tmat04 Look if you're going to look at the times these girls are posting, Hosszu's are very consistent and have been all the way back to 7 years ago. She's made a 4 second improvement in 7 years in an event that is 400 meters involving 4 different strokes. She's improved her endurance, technique - everything. That's a 7 year arc. In the space of only 4 years, Ye Shiwen has gone from being a teenage phenom at 14 to being an injury riddled athlete at age 19, with all the same telltale signs of drug abuse. Even "healthy" now she cannot even make the top 100 rankings. Mind you, this is at a point in her life when most swimmers are at or near their peak. Shiwen's last 100 meters of her ex-WR 400 IM performance in London was 58.68 - and that was a breast-to-freestyle transition. In reality, if it had been a freestyle-to-freestyle comparison, that split would have been close to a 57 high. That's faster than the 2nd 100 of any woman who ever swam the 200 freestyle in a textile suit, including Allison Schmitt who herself swam 1:53.6 in London for the 2nd fastest time ever and fastest textile time ever. Consider that this was done at the end of a 400IM, which is inarguably the hardest event in swimming. It is certainly more taxing to swim the first 300 meters of 3 different strokes than just 100 meters of freestyle. You cannot find at any point in history, from either men or women, any athlete who has EVER swam the final 100 of a 400IM faster than they swim the 2nd 100 meters of a 200 meter race. Not nowhere, not never. But Ye did it! And she is such a fantastic swimmer, that she can't even make top 100 in the rankings any more? And she is so fantastic, that she can't swim a 200 free as fast as she can swim the final 100 freestyle of a 400 IM, and yet EVERY other athlete who swims these events can. If you can swallow that, then you are just part of the problem. What problem? I mean the problem that is talked about at length in the documentary "The Last Gold". There they talk about how the American girls knew that the East Germans were cheaters - it was plainly obvious to them. And yet, nobody else wanted to acknowledge what was obvious. It's always easy to look the other way, but that's the attitude that is complicit in the bringing about the devastation of thousands of lives of young people who are used as propaganda tools by governments who don't give a damn about them (East Germany - and I bet you STILL haven't read the Wikipedia on this or watched the documentary!). To be clear, I didn't say that no other 16 year old swims like Ye Shiwen, I mean that no other human being in the history of sport performs like Ye Shiwen. And now, not even Ye Shiwen does. Should she quit swimming after these Olympics she may be able to mitigate the damage that has already been done to her. But let's be clear, it will certainly not be on account of the vigilance of the likes of you.

John Leonard, who made these ridiculous accusations about Ye doping, has a history - and has made a living - out of accusing Chinese of doping, real or imagined. - The comparison of Ye's and Lochte's 50m legs was out of context; Ye was swimming from behind and making a dash for the finish while Lochte was several length ahead of his competitors and cruising for a win under-performing his personal best. Personally I am so sad for this fellow Chinese girl. She must be extremely hardworking plus genius to achieve what she has done at such young age. One just cannot accuse others without evidence.

[@JonathanGreen1337]

First of all, it doesn't matter how different the circumstances are, a Woman would not be able to keep up with an elite male IM'er like Ryan Lochte on the last 100 of a 400 medley without performance enhancing drugs. That is actually not physically possible for a woman to do, even if she is in a high intensity situation while the male swimmer has a secure lead. Also, Ryan Lochte would have probably swam just as fast on the last 100 even if the field was close to him, elite swimmers don't slow down just because they know they can win. Go and look at the races that Michael Phelps swam at US nationals in 2015 where he still swam blazingly fast times despite having absolutely no competition in the field and almost broke the world record in the 200m IM. Ryan Lochte didn't get his personal best because he was older and the 400 IM is a hard event to do when you're not at your peak. Also, I think it's worth adding that I'm a male who is a pretty decent swimmer but definitely nowhere near the elite level and will probably be a division 3 swimmer in college. If I was a Woman with the same times, I would have just missed the olympic team in the 100 fly by 0.7 seconds and would be one of the best sprinters in the country with a legitimate shot at breaking the 50 freestyle world record. That just gives you an idea of how big of a performance gap there is between men and women and why it's absurd to think that doping wasn't involved in this. Also, if you still don't think doping wasn't involved, consider this, most athletes reach their peak around their early to mid 20's. So if she was 16 when she swam this, how come she just suddenly faded away from the swimming world? The next year at world championships, she gained 10 seconds onto her world record swim and came 7th. Ever since 2012 she's hardly been seen in international competition and when she is, she gains monumental amounts of time and gets her ass kicked. Doesn't it seem strange that a 17 year old swims the 400 IM 10 seconds slower than when they were 16 just 1 year ago when they're at an age when they're supposed to be developing? How is someone who is still developing and hasn't even reached their peak yet doing so badly? And you can't say that she lost motivation and didn't train as hard, because Michael Phelps took a year off of swimming and although he wasn't as good when he came back, he was at least still pretty competitive with the other top swimmers. When someone in any sport suddenly rises up out of nowhere and does something not thought physically possible and then fades away just as quickly as they came about, it is almost surely some form of doping.

[@tongwang2697]

Anything is possible

[@JonathanGreen1337]

No, anything is not possible. The human body has limits. If someone ran a 100m dash in 7 seconds, you wouldn't say "Wow! That is incredibly hard to do but I guess anything is possible!", you would say something more along the lines of, "Wow, this is the most blatantly obvious case of doping I have ever seen.

[@shanye6574]

Incredible swimmer shiwen!!

[@BravovoZululu]

Well said. It's quite a common sense cheering for Olympic medallists, even Olympians, sadly many people were just being so mean.

[@orisyang1057]

She is amazing!

[@hieulam7668]

amazing freestyle ye shiwen

[@marcoguadagno4384]

Her freestyle was as fast as Ryan lochtes was in the 400 im

[@DroneImage]

Notice Ye Shiwen did not do any underwaters - no breastroke pullouts, no underwater dolphin kicks, nothing. But still broke the world record

[@zhenwan8987]

What a genius! It's so sad to hear about her ankle injury recently. Obviously her body now is in a condition far away from that in 2012

[@blakeyboo3684]

Ahm - The UK media, swimmers, coaches or coaches didn't accuse her of anything. It was an American swim coach, the UK media reported it and most of the coverage was about how unfair it was on Ye. Do some research before you hate, eegit.

[@missconscience208]

Ye's saving for the final leg

[@mwangikimani3970]

Ryan's last 100 was slower than 2 - 4th placed. You can see how the WR flew away from him, but his strategy was very good, he is a great butterflier and kept a decent gap to secure the win. Ye Shiwen is an excellent free-styler - she is a little girl so she has a lot more oxygen left for the last 100m... the human male is not that much more superior in water, plus he is a little less buoyant and less streamlined... wer'u from squat?

[@redzoom7857]

She obliterated the field! Loved it, and if people were paying attention, she didn't come from out of nowhere to win!

[@SilencedButNotForgotten]

She just doped

[@kevinsyz1201]

@@SilencedButNotForgotten are you stupid? she didnt dope in anyway. You're just an american hater that believes in racism and false rumours bruh. Even if it was doping, the team manages everything. Every olympic team does a check on their athletes before sending them, making the management responsible for doping, not the athlete themselves. Take a slack and go comment in somethingn else.

[@BenBen-ns1pd]

Elizabeth from Survivor S39

[@jk-fx6jt]

How come no one ever mentions that she was the favorite to win? She was the Asian champion and she had the second fastest heat, obviously being in lane 5.

[@MsJubjubbird]

+j k ry.Becuse Australia expect to win everything in swimming.

[@ZKZ123]

+MsJubjubbird Not anymore, just watch next year, days of Aussie and American dominance in swimming are over, sorry to say.

[@TheFawly84]

+ECBanker I reckon you'll eat those words come Rio. Australia are back on the up. Mitch Larkin will win 100m & 200m back and probably get the WRs. Mcevoy has a good chance on the 100m & 200m freestyle. Yi Shiwen won't get close on any of the IMs. Hosszu will win both with O'Connor 2nd on the 200m. Ledecky will take all the womens freestyles and Sjoestrom will take the 100m fly. I doubt any Chinese will win the womens backstroke with Seebohm/Missy Franklin. Peaty/Willis/Jamieson/Murdoch will take the breaststroke along with Van Der Burgh and Phelps/Lochte will take the mens IM. Cseh/Phelps/Le Clos on the Butterfly. Really can't see the Chinese doing that well to be honest.

[@ZKZ123]

TheFawly84 Sun Yang (men's 200, 400, 1500 free), Ning Zetao (men's 100 free), and Yi Shiwen here is going thru teenage body growth due to adolescence so she is trying to adjust. So we shall see you China-hater. Your comment is based on the typical western prejudice so it does not carry any weight with us.

[@gnja2015]

She wasn't really the favorite to win. Elizabeth Beisel won the world championships the year before london, she had the fastest time in the world coming in to London, and she was the gold medal favorite before the final 100 meters.

[@dossenheimer]

Great Ye!

[@Vanfinity88]

Ye is incredible! the humble that takes the lead !

[@tmat04]

Ye is without a doubt the BEST freestyler ever....Man or Woman!

Yes, we rational ones tend to drive you loons even madder than usual.

[@midgetsdo360]

And the weirdest thing about the swim, Ye Shiwen doesn't even do pullouts on her breaststroke........

[@SnailKingGY]

i think its to conserve her upperbody stamina for the last 2 laps, since freestyle is her best stroke. i also noticed that none of the chinese swimmers use a butterfly kick underwater.

[@randomguy56TV]

Yes she did. Watch the video again.

[@coolro3684]

The Chinese will dominate swimming 100% soon.

[@alekz8596]

Just because of two events? TWO EVENTS???

[@coolro3684]

WaffleCreeper you start with two event and you get better...chinese since my comment are projected now to win half the medals in Brazil.

[@thefoxinside4237]

That makes no sense...

[@hallapainyo8194]

coolro+ Have you seen all of the future olympic champions from USA!?!? Caeleb Dressel goes 40.00 in his 100 yrd free and 17.86 in his 50 yrd free! nd those times convert to a 45.8 and 19.9!

[@MitchAkaDaBitch]

coolro uhhh so where's the dominance again? Asians make up 2/3 of the world's population, but have barely anything to show for it 😂😂😂😂😂

[@niarlatotepbasset]

YE SHE WON!!!!

[@sarbasov]

She must be a robot, not a human. Unbelievable speed in freestyle. How has she been doing lately in swimming?

[@bakaotouto8397]

+sarbasov i think she actually hurt herself

[@alidhafer542]

+sarbasov Drug?

[@eulic3399]

try think/live more positively please

[@nicky5043]

Her level has dropped significantly in the past few years due to severe injury. Unfortunately she's no longer a contender.

[@IKurtC]

bad, in 2013 aquatic championship she was 7+ seconds off her previous year WR in the same 400m , and she was 22+ seconds off in the trials for this years olympics... so more likely she won't be any close to what she did in 2012...

[@hawjsta]

Can't believe people would say she used some sort of substance. It was a close race until the free style part of the race.

[@azhofang201]

racist never be disappeared in SOME western countries

[@LeKain08]

Not really better in asian country (to not say worse for some), if you want to be honest... Racism is actually a big concern in China. But you're right though, racist will always exist in countries like USA.

[@cindyhuang7195]

+LeKain08 I agree😂😂😂 my friends from China always think that all Americans have blond hair and blue eyes and kids in America don't have any homework.

[@StephanieLuuGold]

5:43 Did anyone notice that YIshiwen didn't do a pull down? For breaststroke....

[@IKurtC]

yep we did , werid isn't?

[@BennyOcean]

Can you explain what that means?

[@StephanieLuuGold]

BennyOcean Breast stroke has it's own "streamline" or it's own kind of dolphin kick while they turn on the wall. For breast stroke, you do a specific pulldown. You can you look at the other "streamlines " and base it off of there

[@cindyhuang7195]

I don't think pull downs are required for breaststroke...(I'm not sure though)

[@propulsious7495]

Shiwen has UNBELIEVABLE speed on free

[@jasonshu_zz]

Keep up with the vids

[@tonywhite8390]

Wow!!! Amazing

[@Swimmer97654]

If Caitlin's backstroke and freestyle improve about 2 seconds each she will be a very good contender in the future!

[@dragoonzen]

Ye Shiwen has quite the adorable face! So incredible Swim!!! See you in four years!!!

[@SilencedButNotForgotten]

NEVER WON ANYTHING AFTER THIS. DOPING.

[@TheMajin7]

Quite simply: If she was clean, this is my favourite sporting moment ever!

[@ansky2chriso]

She didn't do a pullout on her breaststroke...AT ALL

[@dannytat1823]

[@zhuolundu8140]

5:45 ye didn't even do a breaststroke pull out! how can she still going so fast?

[@finnmacdiarmid3250]

IKR!!!!!! its absurd, obviously doping. There is no way that she could come back faster than Ryan Lochte who won with a 4:05 and even more crazy, she didn't even look tired when the race was over, whereas Beisel was completely gassed!!!

[@ricky8512]

+Joseph Hargrove doping..?

[@thefoxinside4237]

+Anna hernandez ortegon uh yea it was a woman doesn't simply go faster than the male swimmer who won gold on the same event

[@timbo3243234]

it's not only that she is Chinese. It's that nobody has ever swum a 4IM like that at an elite level. She didn't do breastroke pulldowns. She doesn't even do a second kick in butterfly. Her pacing was nothing short of bizarre (if she really was that much disproportionally better at freestyle, she would be winning the 200 and 400 free events, so she must have just saved all her energy). Simply put, she raced this race like a scared/inexperience 10 year old and then somehow broke a world record.

[@Fran4399]
