Thorpe breaststroke

[Wendybaybii2k8]

 Phelps, Locte and Thorpe are Mermans :)

[JKeen177]

K, people are making fun of me cause my mouth moves like his when he breathes. Like it goes to the side, but it feels normal. lol, I still kick there butts though. It just gets annoying, anybody else's mouth move like that when they breathe in breaststroke?

[Metroidkill]

@JKeen177 It's perfectly normal, tell them they can talk smack if they can beat you.

[BboyTense123]

not really his thing but still a beast at it

[Fgonz52]

Janolking your stupid the freestyle king Jason lezak everyone knows that

[bigmoney2013]

@lexsoft instead of keeping your chin on your chest the whole time don't do that until your head is about to go into the water. I know that it will probably make no sense but if you can figure it out it will help you

[yourvideoisgay1231]

his kick is amazing his arms ..... not so much

[Elisheval]

is he breathing only to one side- his mouth seems to pull to his right (our left)

[janoleking1]

he is the freestyle pro

[Soymilllk]

he has such a wierd storke.. basically no overwater recovery, and look at his upper legs!!

[lexsoft]

@Soymilllk You are right. Michael Phelps's stroke is better, like regular breaststroke swimmers. I myself am struggling to lift up my body high enough to do the correct arm recovery. Do you have any suggestion how to do this ?

[Soymilllk]

@lexsoft It's important to bring your elbows to your chest when you go for the over water recovery. To help you do that, you can turn the palms of your hand upwards after you have pulled through the stroke. That's what I do.

[lexsoft]

@Soymilllk I know that, but I almost always have no chance to do that, because my upper body is about to go down, so I am forced to glide before my elbow and hands get near to my chest. Perhaps, my catch, pull and timing is not correct.

[Krzych113]

butterfly-breastroke ? O.o

[thebert1000]

wow he sucks at this

[1x1ify]

i've seen better

[oyahfftlisawsome]

thats from athens or sydney olympics

[ZapdAmer]

@oyahfftlisawsome its not from the olympics. its from the 03 world championships

[butterflystyler83]

not very good

[MoBurkhardt]

is it just me or does he have some kind of black "breathingdevice" in his mouth?

[junkevin]

no that's his mouth. lots of swimmers breathe to the left or right when doing breast, butterfly. it makes your mouth crooked looking

[aloozer]

@junkevin looking at the vid again, does he breathe out through his nose? as he comes up to the surface i see bubbles, so i thought.

[Ejexion]

@MoBurkhardt : It's just you. It's definitely just you.

[MoBurkhardt]

@Ejexion then I am relieved...

[punchinilo]

thorpe is better than michael phelps

[LeontariF1]

There is no better or worse, they are both great athletes.

[minchione66]

exelent still

[dreamscometrue30989]

Grant Hackett has more individual world records than Phelps.

[woodsoncavalier]

thats misleading. phelps has four distinct events while hackett really has 3 but two of them are also in Short course

[dreamscometrue30989]

All i said was he has more individual records, and he does. 3 of Phelps' are in relays which kinda also is misleading when people mention he has 7 world records

[woodsoncavalier]

i still think that 200im 400im 200free and 200fly together are more interesting than 400free, 800free, 800freeSC, 1500free, and 1500freeSC

[thehillster1]

he may well do but Phelps has WR in different strokes. and phelps has broken his over and over again, giving him more like 15 WRs if he raced more often short course he would have WRs there as well. x

[dyhs2006]

he's got great looking shoulders

[philip711videomaster]

his breast strock is realy week realy week

i think he goes like a 1:12 even im faster

[guardian663]

i really doubt your faster than him

[MitchSwimming]

doode thorpe goes way faster then 1:12 (srry i know this is a really late reply) i just read ur comment

[androvskimelovski]

Ahhh... Clearly not his style. Really weak compared to his free.

[YouCraveJohn]

phelps is the best there is at what he does, agree with it

[liljasser]

he doesn't swim breast

[InsanePuppy11010]

Why isn't there any gliding? I'm no breaststroker but I know to glide.

[chandlerbingbong]

i'll 2nd that.

[jazzinpalmy]

ah noo whats he doing!! his technique is all wrong.

[manhun7]

loooll .. and yours is better right?

[sportygirlhan96]

you arent the smartest how can you say one of the most amazing swimmers in the world's technique is wrong.???

[EdDyWuu]

Hmm

why doesnt he glide? He moving his arm and it would get him tired easily.

The purpose of gliding is to rest a bit and glide as far as u can

[andresrojas22]

cus hes not a breastroker

[missiondoe]

Hey thank you very much!

Honestly,this is my first time I ever saw Ian Thorpe swimming the breaststroke. :D

How about the race?He never swim breaststrokes during an event...right?

[jimmyuk007]

his style is different to Phelps

[wratejb]

he wears a body suit for brs..

[swimmerforever2008]

your not suppose to hold in for 3 seconds ..your suppose to hold it at least 2 seconds because 3 seconds is too long

[wimbledonx2]

he sucks at breastroke

[swimmerforever2008]

he's better than you..thats for sure !

[aznlittlebr0ther]

Its so funny seeing a great freestyler like Thorpe doing breaststroke

[cwhbrown711]

when/ where was it?

[Column111]

2003 Worlds. He got Silver in 200IM.

Thorpe had the ability to be world class in IM, Backstroke, and Fly as well as Freestyle. It is a shame he retired so early and never properly swum 200 Fly, 100 + 200 Back and IM at the big international events.

[dumborules]

yeah if you look at the age group records for australian swimming short and long course he has the records from like 13 years to 18 years in the 100,200,400 freestyle 200,400 IM, 200 butterfly and 100 and 200 backstroke shame he retired for sure!

[mc1703]

because he realised the only event he would be able to be phelps in was the 400 free, and since he put on all the muscle he was no good at that any more...

Thorpe was never going to settle being second best to Phelps. Better to retire...

[andresrojas22]

you got it wrong, Phelps trained to win his 8 golds confidently cus he knew Thorpe wouldnt be there, if Thorpe hadnt retair Phelps would have to settle with equalling Spitz record cus 200 free is Thorpe's property for lifetime

[mc1703]

Thorpe was never going to go 1:42 high. He couldn't even break 1:46 for the commonwealth trials.

Stop being silly.

And what the hell does "retair" mean?

[andresrojas22]

if thorpe hadnt have his health troubles afther athens and concentrated those 4 years to beijing training like phelps did he would have easily won over phelps who is only a better freestyler than thorpe in his underwater

[RSGuides577]

Underwater or not he is better, Being good underwater is one of the hardest things to do.

[andresrojas22]

actually its the easiest

[KX9N]

except phelps beat the 200 free world record

[andresrojas22]

and your point is?records are beaten every year, the point is that Pelps did never beat Thorpe in this event while Thorpe did beat Phelps, Thorpe retired and they didnt matched again if Thorpe had continued swimming afther Athens is quite probable that the 200 wass still his

[KX9N]

except thorpe was at his peak. he was only getting slower. admit phelps is the best swimmer of all time. thorpe was only a great freestyler

[andresrojas22]

he wasnt at his peak and he was getting slower cuz he couldt train regulary afther Athens. No Phelps is not the best

[KX9N]

how is he not the best, god your stupid

[KX9N]

thorpe could NEVER EVER win 8 golds and set 7 WR and 1 OR in the same olympics

[andresrojas22]

3 of wich golds where of relay so dont count. Thorpe was indeed only a freestyler but the best that has existed he won golds from distances so non related as 100 free and 800 free i'de liked to see Phelps doing that. If u like Phelps so much maybe u should contact Bob and ask if u can suck his dick

[GumBummygummer]

What is Thorpes 50m Breast time, its gota be like 28-29-30

[Gigi086]

Never see him in IM neither, too bad he retired in such an early age. He's a great swimmer.

[mkfromdk]

he used to do IM. that's why

[swmr16]

hey i didnt kno thorpe did breastt. that just makes me like him even more lol.
