  • FYI, Spitz breathed every other stroke in Munich.

  • She sounds like Ellen Degeneres after smoking weed.

  • IS THIS GOOGLE'S TRANSLATE LISTEN BUTTON TALKING IN THIS VIDEO?

  • thumbs up if, thumbs up if, thumbs up if this that there and then, thumbs up if you are sick reading comments of people begging for "thumb up if....".

  • haha she says medely

  • El Mejor ...

  • go on this page and subscribe and watch all videos aflandoman

  • wow thats good.nice job.

  • He has long arms, big palms, long legs, big feet, good technique, determined to win, good strength & maybe some luck. That's why he won 8 medals.

  • @XxamokkaesiowxX he has short legs compared to his torso. which creates less drag. he's 6" 4 but his legs are that of a 6" guy

  • I like how she describes Phelps doing two kicks per stroke on fly and fly kicks off the wall, as if this is something unique that Phelps does. 3 year old kids can do that. Phelps just does it better. Stupid woman.

  • @adamlewis934 Lol I know, but ya gotta understand this vid's for noobs. Notice how she says "individual medley" when swimminers say "I.M."??

  • en vez de ganas de nadar, me dan ganas de dormir con este video...

  • swimming is a very individual sport, there are guidelines but everybody is still different. you can't say that one technique is better than the other, sure if you win gold medals suddenly your technique is "the best" but that's not true. best thing you can do is keep practicing and developing a technique that works best for you.

    a scientific note, there's no such thing as being double jointed, some people can hyper extend their joints due to good flexibility and morphological bone features

  • @skateabcoen woooow your retarded im double jointed everywhere on my body and im still not the fastest on my team phelps just has raw beastly power

  • @ADRIEviolist bro all im trying to say is being double jointed is an unfair advantage, and using this advantage to beat everyone else can be considered cheating.

  • @skateabcoen What? LOL. He can't help how he was born. That's like saying being tall and using it to your advantage is like cheating in basketball.

  • @ADRIEviolist yeah it does dude underwater work is why phelps is so good

  • i swear to god, they used a robot voice.

  • thumbs up if u think this woman couldnt have made michael phelps look more boring.

  • Phelps you are the best !!!!!!!!!!!

  • he's a cheater his hips are double jointed

  • @skateabcoen wth

  • @skateabcoen thats not cheating thats using your differences as an advantage

  • @skateabcoen it just makes it easier for him to smash you girlfriend that way

    

  • spitz used to breathe every other stroke.

  • annoying voice anyone?

  • omg...this woman...

  • michael is the best swimmer in the world

  • Your dumb. Butterfly is the hardest stroke of all strokes.

  • breastroke is dummy

  • I was not talking about breaststroke. Also it is breaststoke. Get out of here. You don't know anything about swimming.

  • pfff, please learn to swim and then talk, breastroke is for women you cunt

  • breastroke takes the most use out of technique than any other stroke. Mainly cuz you can just power your way through every other stroke. Plus breastroke is typically the slowest stroke meaning it takes longer to do a fifty meaning you need more endurance.

    I hate breastroke. Way to say the stereotypical thing that everybody says "fly is the hardest" when fact shows that it isnt. lol chill dude im not insulting anybody

  • allright lets cut the crap, there is no stroke harder than other, of course its easier to swim 100 free, back or breast but that doesnt mean any stroke is harder than other cus swimming fast any stroke is difficult, though of course fly is probably the most difficult to learn cus u run out of energy pretty quick while u learn the technique. i wass kiding with the "brest for girls"

  • i agree you, im a breastroker and that is easily the hardest physically for me, its like fly but your recovery is underwater

  • dude i get what ur trying to say and no stroke is easier than anyother, and i swim fly but had to stop due to a shoulder injury im trying to get back in shape now and i can say that people think is the hardest because it takes a while to get the shoulder and upper back muscles back into shape and takes a lot of from your upper body, breastroke takes a toll on your calf muscle

  • No. Try swimming 50 using a front crawl as opposed to breaststroke and then see which needs more endurance. -.-

  • @Mastersword203 im gonna have to disagree...if your talking about a 50 sprint, fly is the easiest and breast is the hardest...if your talking about a 200, i would almost argue breast is the easiest...breast doesnt really challenge your muscles or respiratory systems as much as fly, free, or back do...i like breast, its a good stroke....its just easy to keep a good pace for a long time, unlike fly, or in my case, any other stroke

  • did you just try to tag me in a comment?? haha

    Too much facebook maybe?

  • @Mastersword203 umm...no...that automatically pops up when i reply to a comment...it also lets anyone reading the thread follow the conversation

  • nope pretty sure you keep trying to tag me

  • have you ever swam a 200 fly in a respectable time? nope, didn't think so, it is the hardest event and most tiring stroke.

  • the most tiring stroke is being gay duh

  • If that's the case, your not a very good swimmer.

  • @aleksandrhall ur right haha...certainly not at anything over a 100 anyway...24.8 50, 54.4 100, 1:00.6 fly, in case u were wondering

  • What's your 200 time? I think all the strokes are equally difficult. It's a matter of how much effort you put into it, and how good your technique is. I can do a 500 fly painlessly, but I can also do a 100 breast that hurts immensely.

  • @aleksandrhall 2:02.9...but i cant swim longer fly or back events at all...my 2 fly is like 2:37 lol...but ive only swam it twice, never tapered

  • Haha yeah I'm the opposite. I can't get built up enough in a 100. My 1 flys a 58.3, but my 200s a 2:03.1.

  • @aleksandrhall haha...wow...i know a backstroker that goes 57 and 2:00, but thats a bit different than fly...do you swim in college?

  • I'm still in high school. Still haven't figured out where I wanna swim in college. I'm not good enough for D1 so I'm looking for a good D2 school. I'm not very good, I do awesome in practice, but I suck at meets.

  • @aleksandrhall nice...im like one of the worst swimmers at grove city college, its d3, but one of the best d3 schools in the national...6th at nationals last yr

  • I myself am a swimmer, and I know how the strokes are supossed to look. I can first hand say that this man is one of the best IF NOT THE BEST swimmer of all time. Any one who bashes swimming, I would like to see you try to do these things! Go Michael Phelps!

  • phelps ftw!

  • I never understood the national pride over someone's sportive achievements. I would clearly understand if someone found a cure for cancer.

  • its called pride in ur country..

  • I agree with you. Especially I dislike when one country is better than the other because of sports achievements. There are too much politics and hate around sports competitions. Who needs it. I am not against phisical training which can help individual to be in a good shape.
