Ian Thorpe, virate, partenza, slow motion in acqua

[rafinhha97]

ondulação perfeita !!!

[desinaner]

Correct me if I am wrong.. but isn't he looking forward? Are you supposed to look down?

[FruitarianSwimster]

@desinaner He slightly tilts the head up to prevent over rotation on the breath and balances his body to take full advantage of his especially powerful kick; by avoiding a completely horizontal position.

[desinaner]

@FruitarianSwimster that seems so strange though. Every single one of my coaches have told me to look straight down, and that being horizontal is a good thing. I dont see how having his lower body a little lower would capitalize on his kick?

[xyhz2323]

Very excellent ! How dynamic and elegant his free-style form is!

This is similar with a best form in my mind.

[asofu720]

Cameraman is faster than him!

[sirdelrio]

you can recognize it from the catch and the recovery. is not at all like ian's, totally grant hackett.

[sirdelrio]

the guy at the secon sequence, the one in slow motion, is not ian, is grant hackett.

[jeef0]

@sirdelrio True, it's Hackett in the '98 World Championship at the 400 m free.

[sirdelrio]

@jeef0 You know, when i wrote the message i thought that too. But recently i saw a video, some tribute to Ian or something (can't remember), when it appears the image enlarged, and we can clearly see Grant right next to Ian. I was wrong, it's actually Ian.

[astrolabi18]

wanna swim right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gighen93]

Thorpe è tornato! Thorpe will come back in london! the big black shark thorpedo!

[ruinawish]

He's back!!!

[lucianocmontone]

The music name is Remeber the Name by Fort Minor

[ruinawish]

@TealKarl89 You can see the song underneath the video description.

[Maderna79]

Tecnicamente il migliore nuotatore di sempre nello stile libero, superiore anche a Popov.

[lordsbuumer]

name of the music???

[hiu17bmx]

si se la mitch mitch mitch¡¡ k no?

[grouimpf]

thorpedo!

[Gilibito]

FUCKING WMG

[SuperMuhomor]

Наивысший пилотаж!

[ReneSmart]

super!!!! me inspira a nadar asi!

[scrutatorenonvotante]

la tecnica è perfetta e le gambe si muovono come un motore

[tietajajoshua]

STATISTICS CALCULATION - from

BR-0 com/olympics htm

[beddascia]

scusa ...mi invii questo video?

[antoniodamilano]

mitik !!!!!

[triswimcoach]

Great shot of a great stroke underwater!

[aaacacaas]

He looks so fast from the underwater angle. Watching these guys on camera doesn't do them justice as to how good they really are. I wanna see phelps swim in person.

[jeef0]

In the beginning his legs seem like they're fast forwarded. :-)

[YouCraveJohn]

holy shit, his kick is crazy

[nali4ever]

12 hits with legs in one couple of hands...

[bertaorsi80]

That music was fantastic with this video :((

It's a shame to disable it! :(

[Monkey200728]

@bertaorsi80 Music is back!

[bertaorsi80]

@bertaorsi80 Yess!!! Thank you! This music and this swim is amazing!!

[turtello83]

looks like ibrahimovic. lol

[ulsbolde89]

Wonder if they all kept their head down in a streamlined position, then current world records wouldn't be the current world records. The times would be less, surely.

[skopjem]

but it is not eazy to keep your had still, becouse of the shoulders

[amerikanerMarinen]

This is what I do..But then my breathing looks like Jason Lezak's.

I guess it's just whatever feels comfortable.

[skopjem]

Thorpe is the best...maybe there are more sucsesful guys like michael but this tecnnique is Special:D

[ruinawish]

Gah, I love that opening sequence. That's true power right there.

[ruinawish]

Poetry in motion.

[defroster22]

He doesnt breathe for 9 strokes at the beginning, kinda odd...

[EricTheRed03]

To help you out, please go check out a 50m Free race.. breathing slows you down for sprints.

[giorgiobello1]

My favourite part of the video is the last seconds: Thorpe finishing ahead of Hackett who is one of the best long distance swimmers in history.

[Monatee]

SONG- FORT MINOR: REMEMBER THE NAME.

[Monatee]

excellent. the beginning of the clip is inspiring

[peskenada]

io sono molto + forte di questo buffone!!!...l'ho ha detto pasquale cerb. l'omosessuale

[peskenada]

fortissimo

[warrenG54]

Ian Thorpe IS better than Micheal Phelps

[Sensaistar7]

I'm American. Also a bit biased about the rest of the world's swimming talent compared to the U.S. but oh boy do I miss Ian. Wow mate true freestyle artist. Come back just once and put Phelps and Park Tae Hwan out of their misery.

[pikminke]

can you tell me the title of the song?

great vid, by the way

[lablada]

remember the name by fort minor

[jiuty53]

is the best.............

[tonyhak]

stile perfetto !

[mc1703]

nice quality on the footage

[koplerslw]

esta biên chido

[BanGAHC]

the best!!!!

[asuljic]

WOW, He has high elbows. freaking amazing.

[foose99]

what song?

[ryoarms]

fort minor-remember the name

[biotooth]

Ian thorpe is a fucker because he didn't come to olympics

[asuljic]

He didn't come to olympics because he is sick and has not trained in 3 years now.

[showylee1980]

well, he did go to the olympics. he just did not race.lol

[andymcaplasmasterjay]

tne style of ian thorpe is something that im already missing he was the best and if he back on swimming he will be the best !!!!!!!!!

[showylee1980]

great montage!

[grgant]

Ian Thorpe is the BEST Freestyle swimmer ever.Much better than Phelps.Has pawned him many times.Look at 4x200 relay men Sydney...!!!

[copow12a]

phelps is better

[muffinscousin]

only in 200m

[brembo1976]

E' sempre uno spettacolo vedere qt'uomo pesce!!

Ma perchè s'è ritiratoo!! Chissà che spettacolo vederlo in vasca con Phelps ora!

[cleitus36]

what's the song?

[hibidigagabubu]

remember the name by fort minor

[camtuvn62]

Both Phelps and Thorpe was not at their peak at Athen, but Phelps won 6 gold medals.. how's abt Thorpe?. I really like both of them but i think Phelps is better.

[Lafjord]

the reason thorpe will always be better than phelps is that michael is nothing more than a rockstar, and ian is a *true* athlete. this video is fantastic, i love it!

[SwimChamp31]

I agree with you Lafjord; Ian seems to be a non-aggressive person.

As he said in an interview, he tries to beat himself instead of beating others; to me the end results is the same, the big difference being in the attitude.

I like RockStars, though

[mtown78]

Thorpe the fucktard can eat shit. He smacktalked Michael Phelps saying he didn't have it in him to get 8 gold medals. Phelps thanks him for the motivation though.

[fatarseaussie]

Look and he still looks like a chump hohoho,phelps is the best of the best bitches!!!!!

[dreaman1981]

Nice video, title song?

[pupa09087]

ian thorpe you are the best!!!

[TheHumanoidTyphoon]

Grandissimo Ian!

[squallgzy]

He is my favourite. But he has disappeared in the pool. What a pity! Phelps don't have an enemy now days in Olympic. I trust him can beat Phelps!

[saintbarbara]

What a shame he has just a big girl attitude. Mince, mince, mince.

Take a leaf out of Michael Phelps book. Not a wash up, but a real generous, MASCULINE, quiet and magnificient achiever and winner.

Go Michael!

[Von101Dutch]

perfect spotsman, perfect man, ABSOLUTELY perfect!

[RobiCon27]

Perfect song for this vid, good job!

[iwillnotforgetthislo]

man if he wore these lzr racer suits... he'd couldve gone sub 3:40 in the 400m

[antonioaquilino77777]

did u see his feet in the first 10 seconds??

is that real of in fast forward????

[danicatim]

his size 17 feet?

[Tauri1980]

That is real no fast forwarding

[samira2542]

the song is called remember the name by fort minor (mike shinoda)

[nadador1515]

Is there any way to put YouTube videos on your ipod?xD

[ISREL4EVER]

he is my role-model...

i am traying to copy hes jump and role, -3 secends after i done it(-:

[RitvarLegend]

[mjolnir1981]

Are you stupid or something? HE IS AUSTRALIAN.

[lablada]

[Thorp03]

le olimpiadi di quest'anno nn saranno + le stesse senza thorpe.....;(

[blooperasn]

i always thought the secret to fast swimming was using your arms as fast as possible...but here it looks like it's the feet that go crazy?

[Metallirocks]

Ya its like the feet are a propellant, and the arms are a guide.

Shame he tetired at 24, wasted potential if you ask me, he must have had the drive at one time to get where he got.

[shtiblet]

He's awsome. he's tecneque is unbelivale! awsome vid...remeber the name...good choice

[galloflow]
