[belmany]

freaking incredible FLIPPERS

[Hydrofication13]

had thorpe swam against phelps in the 08 olympics...phelps would have lost the 200 free. im american but it isnt hard to notice that thorpe was unstoppable in the middle distances

[sexypoetry]

i would like to join the pole shift survival group or start the new one.

[TheWTFers]

His kick is timed so perfectly, notice when his right arm is extended in front of him his right leg is always on the upbeat while his left leg is on the downbeat.

[pablolejarraga]

@TheWTFers Thanks for the comment! That's what I was trying to find out.

[Trulyloyale]

lame stinky wasp barbarians , retarded savages

[koahlman]

what type of pull is he using

[TheWTFers]

@koahlman High Elbow Catch. 

[01viduka]

Trulyloyal, Where is your proof?

[Trulyloyale]

@01viduka not my prooves, but YOUR ones, I mean your from your country : I invented nothing and it's not a habit of Italians to blame or inventing shamefull and false lies & news to damage anyone involed in sports ( politics and business is a totally different matter ), the scandal came out from your same country and you can check related news in australian media sites ( year 2007 if I remember well ) and it was suddenly covered up .

[Trulyloyale]

fucking australian doped cheaters , they're a shame x clean sport .....!

fuckinn' liars and hypocrite robbers : all the can do is cheating and calling they're victims ....;-)

I cant stand these dirty crocodile hunters

[adisturbedswimmer95]

[redcouriercat]

@Trulyloyale fucking slimy wog

[Trulyloyale]

@redcouriercat look at who talks ......;-) !!!

[redcouriercat]

@Trulyloyale What, haha? Stupid grease ball.

[Trulyloyale]

@redcouriercat I said : " Look at who talks ....." ( laugh , ahahah) . Got it now , tard crocodile hunter ??!! XD

[dctim]

They're not feet.... They're flippers. The man hage HUGE waders. Brilliant athlete

[simonwakelin]

people complain about his kick - but along with that incredibly fast "slingshot" right arm the kick makes him an Olympic quality athlete

[enzoinaussie]

The information given is of Ian Thorpe. Not James.

[mc1703]

I think the description is missing an 'I' before the 'an'.

[enzoinaussie]

Haha rightio. Good observation. Thnx

[mrjessegast]

what hell are you people talking about his kicking is great! for real i wish i could do that i always kind of like go sideways :p if i do straight i get tired very qieukly, but i only swim 1.06,40 on 100m freestyle

[swimpsc]

thats what i mean, obviously ur legs arents going 2 be stiff as boards. but im saying that its not her job 2 critic him when its working for him as an olympic swimmer. some people might even bend their legs more than that and be successful...but its not her job to say that he's kicking wrong. and i completely agree with u.

[swimpsc]

pinkswimchick-

im a swimmer too....and although it is faster to keep ur legs straighter....you can call me when you're faster than he is. ok?

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

a little bent is inevitable. it's all about rythm; u can't have that with stick-straight legs.

[funkygirl59]

Oh ok pinkswimchick shame he didn't have you as a coach! I mean you being so successful and alll...cos its so dissapointing how terrible ian thorpes career was!

[traheemer]

is he gunna be in these olympics?

[pinkswimchick]

his knees bend alot im a swimmer and my legs are always strait and it makes you go alot faster

[mc1703]

Thorpe has the greatest flutter kick of any middle distance freestyle swimmer ever. Fact.

Don Talbot even stated that his leg kick was so powerful that it was to the detriment of his arm pull.

[lespaulsarecool]

but he bends his knees and extends his kick deep, thus losing streamlining, if coourse this is a technical aspect and the results speak for themselves

[nadador1515]

Lol yea losing streamline. Thats probably the reason why he can go a 26 for 50m using just his kick.

[lespaulsarecool]

read the comment properly I did say his results speak for themselves, its exactly like saying lance armstrongs time trial technique is poor (sits up higher and rocks hips) but he won more of them than anything else!

[attis765]

@nadador1515

Realy?

He can go in 26 sec in 50 meter using only his legs?I'd like to see that. Awesome!!

[SirKizmo]

Look at those feet.. thats the only thing us australian are good at, at the olympics.. swimming, also hocky

[christinemyan]

he is awesome
