Bousquet beats Phelps in 100m from Universal Sports

[BboyTense123]

Nice voice crack at 1:22

[npaloni]

just don't take anything away from freddy. he's the man and he's been breaking records since college. first man to ever break 19, first man to ever break 21. this i a great race that shows two different world class swimmers at different parts of their season. both are awesome.. freddy just has way more swag

[4842873]

if you notice, phelps does regular freestyle in the first half of each 50 then switches to straight arm in the second half. never seen that before....

[SuperAprox]

I just love how the commentator thinks he knows swimming, he might aswell just take over as coach of michael phelps

[Havnamenn]

why does the commentator only talk about phelps?

Bousquet owns this race

[afara2000]

@ADVERTlSEMENT No straight arm pull. That would be ineffective plus too much strain on shoulder and arm muscles. Although arm recovery is straight but high elbow pull is the key to freestyle propulsion.

[snistrgryn]

@ADVERTlSEMENT no



[disneaded]

I would be impressed, if he'd bet michael at the 200 fly, not in a race like that. bousquet is very good at those races, michael at IM and fly, noone should say he's the best swimmer,because others are better on other races

but there's something which never changes: michael is my big idol

[loganross1234567]

i hate how people expect phelps to win every event even a sprint freestyle against bousqet

[Sharon13124]

holy shittttt

there going like

22's on each friggin 50

dayummmm

[rovert199]

im in high school going a 22.20

[larsanien]

@rovert199 yeah because you are dumb and doing it in yards dumbass!

[kris533d]

and?? highschool then you must be like 17 or 18

[ADVERTlSEMENT]

Yea, but high school doesn't use meters

[gregpill]

haha nah nah nah nah no you're not. nice try though

[GKwrestling4life]

idc what anyone says cuz ima be the best swimmer! everrrrr!!!!!!! and ill be so fast i can swim in my gym shorts and no goggles! and ima get a mohawk! not a regular mohawk one that goes side to side so i get as much resistance as possible! ill win 10 olympic gold medals in swimming and maybe even a few in track and possibly a frreestyle and greco gold medal!!!! hell while im at it ill get a tennis gold medal while im at it :DDDDD

[gregpill]

hell ya you do that ima cheer for you

[commirevo89]

It's not the fucking bodysuit.

Phelps is an IMer and a Flyer, NOT A FUCKING SPRINTER. FUCKING MEDIA GIVE THE FUCKING CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE.

Seriously, for every time they mention that Bousquet won, they say how "the suit cost phelps the win" two or three other times.

[dlrgfabian]

@commirevo89 phelps is working on the 100 m freestyle and wants to go for it in London

[commirevo89]

@dlrgfabian If you can call it that. Phelps is nowhere near where he should be in his training because he's either slacking or getting old, who knows. The point is, Phelps' two best events have always been the 200 Fly and 400IM, almost the furthest from sprint events you can be. If he's going to have a shot at medalling in the 100 Free in London, he needs to get his ass in gear which he clearly hasn't.

[cosmo835]

@commirevo89 completely agree. phelps is sick, but bousquet will eat him alive in a 100M everytime.

[ilike2eatt]

@commirevo89 Idr exactly what Bousquet's best 100m time was in a regular textile suit, but I remember Michael Phelps's best time without a technical suit being faster than Bousquet's. Plus, Phelps was only .3 away from the 100m freestyle world record in his leadoff leg of the 4x100m freestyle relay during the 08 olympics.

[sscreamingeagle]

Dammit, this is now the second video I've watched of phelps getting beat at the Ultraswim with somebody making the comment: 'This isn't his event. This is one of his weaker events' blah blah blah. The guy makes millions to be the best in the world. Quit making excuses for him!!!!

[Puxeizhen]

@sscreamingeagle yes thats why hes not going to win in every race...

[ZapdAmer]

this isnt phelp's event

[maddooggg]

@jmd4702 that rowdy gaines.. lol

[twdarj]

Bousquet is the real damn fast swimmer, he's unbeatable in free style 100m Congratulation,incredible performance...

[coolbrazilianboy]

what abous Cielo?

He looks real good now, in 50 and 100 hehe

[philip711videomaster]

Bousquet is faster but he is a sprinter and he trains like that. Phelps wasn't even suppose to win! body suit or not!

[dlam12]

the point of using straight arm is to have faster arm recovery, but phelps doesnt get it effectively

[dimadeloseros1]

phelps was never a sprinter in 100m lol

[froggy191919]

Let's give Bousquet some credit, too. Congratulations Bousquet!

[mc1703]

i'm no expert, but if phelps can go 47.5 bent arm recovery, with non 100 specific training program, than he can go faster without having to change his stroke.

I don't think the straight arm is going to be the success he hopes it will be.

[kwedaman]

he also did it for his finish on the 200

[kwedaman]

why did phelps stroke change on the 2nd 50

i thought it was a diff swimmer lol

[BMW345is]

wow.. phelps you f%&*% boss.. respect to phelps.. this guy will be rite up there in the for front by world champs.. he should go back to his old stroke.. he went 47.5 wit it.. but god to see his trying new events.. much love phelps ..

[SLIM24lok]

I think that swimsuit is just awesome! yeah! actually, swimsuits should swim alone, without swimmer, maybe they go even faster, cause swimming is really boring!

LOL

[kobac]

french guy kicked his ass...

sorry for phelps this time

[jlacus]

hes also wearing a now banned suit by FINA

[Moviebro]

How many Golds does Fred Bousquet have? lol

[comc39]

Phelps was high again!!

[RSGuides577]

He has the windmill stroke then switched back to the regular one then back to windmill when he sprinted again to the finish.

[wookid13]

dosent really mean anything phelps has 8 golds plus

[bluewhale18]

phelps was just messing about, anyway everyone else was wearing these high tech body suits, and phelps was wearing just old leggings

[jlacus]

do you know what your talking about? if you knew something you would know his LZR Racer ripped that weekend, hence no LZR. Theres nothing wrong with the FS Pro, he did win the 200 free 5 seconds off his best time.... hes only at 80%. phelps isnt a sprinter, not now at least.

[jamesby]

Phelps changes his arm technique during the race. at first a little bit before the 50, and then in the last 15-20 meters.

Anyway : bravo Fred et vivement Rome, pour tes deux médailles d'or + 1 argent (50m - relais / 100m).

[loscar92]

bravo fred !

[M3talRul3zz]

hes not unbeatable! lol but bousquet went 20.9 in the 50 so im not surprised

[juandi2570]

it's gonna be tough for phelps to make the transition to be a sprinter but if someone can do it has to be him. He still has some months to perfect his technique and be ready for Rome 2009.

[swimmer4ever200687]

i think no way phelps will be a sprinters , because its somthing in the fibers of the human body + all the nutritions and may be steroidal substances that phelps takes was for endurance . as you see he get 23.2 in the 50 free .

[343596]

Yes... Swimmer4ever... your almost right.

Phelps need to change most of his musclefibers in his whole body. That will take a while... + Phelps was mostly good because of his endurance. This isn´t his event. Sprinting has changed.

[jimmyuk007]

How he changed most of his musclefibers?

[HungAzn]

Not a day for phelps..

but he's not a sprinter anyways..
