  • It's funny because he got what 4th at worlds this year? Congrats you beat him ONCE. Biederman will never EVER do anything like phelps did.

  • Michael is still amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • what happened to paul biederman? he took 4 seconds off since Beijing and then adds almost 3 seconds at world champs 2011. i no the suits are no longer allowed but really..

  • fina should screw all the world records from this meet because lord knows how long its gonna take to break these records except for ryan lochte he kicks michael phelps ass now

  • Wowwwww, the only reason Biedermann won was because his fancy suit kept his legs up.

  • @somebody12386 This shouldn't be in the WR, it should be removed

  • aweeeeeee, poor paulie. What happened at the world championships, Paulie? Oh, but you still have your world records, eh? What a fraud.

  • this race wasn't about the suits, the suit really isn't thatt big of a deal. i'm an american swimmer and in this race phelps was outswam, nothing else to say about it. but phelps is still an amazingg amazign swimmer

  • Paul was working faster with his hands... dunno about suits

  • Suits...

    

  • Phelps ain´t got nothing on Biederman.

  • Something i dont get is, since arena X-glide is sooo advantageous, and can make biedermann go from 1:46 to 1:42, why didnt cavic (that has been on the brink of kicking phelps' ass since beijing) shattered the fly record?

  • biedermann's 200m times: 2008 beijing 1:46.00 wo suit, 2009 rome 1:42.00 with suit,

    2010 berlin 1:45.84 wo suit, 2010 Budapest 1:46.06 wo suit. you do the analysis.

  • @sirdelrio and has phelps gone faster without the suit?

  • @sirdelrio and has phelps gone faster without the suit?

    and was Biedermann rested for those two 200 frees also?

  • @bigben1541 i dont know what you mean. could you be more specific? from the beginning i refused to take sides in the phelps-biedermann suit controversy. I swimm and because of that i respect them all, they're monsters. but i engaged in a rather blind faith in biedermann without considering the evidence. when we analyse the times with or wo suit, it's clear that wo he is around 1:46. I sense you suggest that he wasnt rested for Berlin and Budapest, am i right?

  • @sirdelrio Yes that is what I was trying to get at. But I will say this about the suits, they dont help you as much physically as they do mentally. My guess it that the suit gave biedermann confidence to take now the so called mighty phelps. I would know this from experienced swimming with and with out the suit.

  • Seems kinda odd that he suddenly shaved four seconds in less than a year and was not in the discussion to win anything, yet won two races. Also odd that he placed fifth in the 200 Free, after the fancy suits were banned. And although he won fair and square, there is no doubt that these suits helped significantly, hence the huge amounts of world records broken at the 2009 WC. If they didn't help, swimmers wouldn't be admitting to "more than two seconds" of improvement.

  • @SHARKSMAN12 the number of records broken is not the key variable. the age of those records is the actual key. if they were old, it MIGHT have been the suit, if they were recent, it was the athlete. btw, the records broken you talk about were mostly done with LZR, so the evidence for your argument is inadequate. my question is, if the suit made him win, then why wasnt the podium made of only arena swimmers. Yes, he arrived 5th, but his qualy time was 1:42!!!

  • @sirdelrio The records broken in the LZR were over a much longer period of time, and were not as drastic, considering that suits were slowly developing until the full polyurethane suits. and you have to consider how long the LZR was around for. And if you remember, Jaked also made the suit. For BIedermann to shave four seconds off of his personal best and a HUGE 8 tenths from the WR in a matter of months, is absolutely impossible, especially since he has come nowhere close to that time since.

  • @SHARKSMAN12 i concede that cutting 4 secs in months is a rather huge task. but to say he has never come close to that time since, is simply false. In dubai, last year, he did 1:42 in his qualy time for the 200, in his qualy!! with no suit!! that evidence falsifies all the biedermann-suit controversy.

  • @sirdelrio That was a short course event., where times are faster because the pools are shorter. The world record in that is 1:39, so for him to swim a 1:42 in qualifications is not very good. That right there proves that the suit helped Paul considerably. You forget that in swimming, three seconds is an absolutely massive amount of time. And he has come nowhere near his 200m freestyle, long course record, since the suits were banned.

  • @SHARKSMAN12 you were right: I searched for his results in recent championships and since the suits are not allowed, he has not showned any improvement from his beijing time. in berlin and dubai he scored in the 200 around his one-fortysix of beijing.

  • @sirdelrio Yeah, I found it really odd that he became so fast. What confuses me is, why did the suits help him more than they helped other swimmers? But in all honesty, its good to see swimming go back to the way it should be.

  • @sirdelrio Hahahaha short course worlds ... way to not do ur research lol dumbass.

  • @xFordFTWx i suppose you didnt see my last comment, in which i posted biedermann's times in LC with and without the suit. i already accepted he was faster with the suit. and calling me a dumbass doesnt make you smart. of course SC is faster, that's obvious, but it's not that faster. i just mentioned that he wasnt that slow since he did 1:42 in qualy. but, again, i alredy accepted his records were caused by wearing the suit, from analysing the results with and without the suit.

  • what you were going to have an technology war with the germans and expecting to win please..... ohh and by the the way biedermann is just faster stop crying

  • Michael Phelps reminds me of a crocodile at 2:10

  • They all had the top tech suits of that time on. They all had the same advantage. They guy over in lane 8 could have won, and it wouldn't have been because of the suit. Phelps is human, he's beatable. Anyone could have won that race, it's up to who swims the best.

  • i really couldnt belief when i read phelp's coach comments: 'now, any ten year old can buy a suit, and break a world record'. how absurd, how inmature, what a lame ass loser. ja, threatening to retire michael if the suits were not baned, what an imbecile.

  • You all might be forgetting that a suit, only, is not going to make you beat a world champion. not even if you were a professional swimmer. it takes a great athlete and a good suit. by the way, nobody complained when thorpe in his time smashed every record wearing a fancy suit, nobody said it was because of the suit. grow up, biedermann kicked phelp's ass, end of story.

  • because of LZR. from that day, swimming is not human VS human.

    this is company VS company.

  • what is Paul Biedermann doing right now? is he retired??

  • @meetfdc no he's just back to going 1:46s

  • Phelps' turns give him such an advantage. But Biedermann's freestyle is clearly better. Between the fags Phelps wouldn't stand a chance.

  • phelps humiliated

  • Me Wants to see a rematch of phelps and biedermann in both lzr elite jammers

  • see Phelps some one is better than you

  • Biedermann's time at 2008 Beijing: 1:46 flat

    Biedermann's time at 2009 Rome: 1:42 flat

    thats 4 seconds in a year and then to break a world record holy shit

  • @Icc4rus Drugs are awesome eh!? :)

  • Izotov is a beast, only 17 years old and medaling at worlds

  • notice that biederman was wareing a full body polyurithane suit meaning that he litarly weighs less in the water while phelps is in an ankle suit.

  • biedermann totally trashed phelps! god!

  • phelps and biedermann are great, but u forget the 3rd place with 17 yrs old , izotov, hee have exactly the same times as thorpe in the same age, and thorpe retired with the wr,and i think izotov will not retire as young as thorpe but only time would say it to us

  • please someoone tell me if the LZR or any NASA suits are forbidden for 2010

  • No, LZR is ok for FINA 2010

  • @patience1974 gotta be jammer tho

  • @patience1974 no LZR is not ok, its the newer version of LZR that are ok.

  • @Alainjorge1 you can use the new Speedo lzr racer Elite. phelps, coughlin and so many swimmers from the USA team are using it. i got it too . it,s a good suit, better than the 2007 fast skin suits (those no plastic products suits) but it is only till the knees. 160 dolars.

  • @Alainjorge1 the LZR shown in this video is now banned. speedo made a new suit called LZR elite i think? and that is Fina approved.

  • @Alainjorge1 All are forbidden

  • It looks like Biedermann is floating on air in that suit. He knows it too. If that was legit, he would have gone nuts.

  • everybody is complaining about the difference in swimsuits, but at the Olympics. Phelps wore a LZR and Biederman reached the final with an 'old-fashioned' Nike legger, than nobody was complaining about it.

  • phelps is great, biedermann is great, gutted to see their not racing at duel in the pool :( will be good to see them racing on a level palying field :D

  • Level playing field? Suit wise, I don't think it would matter. Biedermann beat him. Regardless, suits are all what you like better. Phelps said in an interview that he liked the LZR best because of it's compression.

  • parte, parte!

    hahah Bidermann beats poor Phelps

  • says the american............

  • I'm an American too, but ChenChen713 needs to shut the hell up and learn to be a humble loser. Biedermann had a fantastic swim, and Phelps did too, but Biedermann came on top. It's sports.

  • @littlezdawg2012

    A humble loser is a great winner.

  • respect. best comment

  • well obviously thats not right. cant u tell its the suit thats getting him more speed here. hes using a better suit than michael phelps is using. also phelps went 3 months without swimming and still kept up with his own record

  • true. you dont drop 4 seconds in a event in less than a year, unless your just starting out

    but at this level, that shit doesnt happen

  • yea, duel in the pools gonna be awesome. i dont see y they took away australia though, just cuz thorpe retired. the other country is great britan

  • back when there in textile jammers again, and phelps actually trains, phelps should win. paul had a awesome swim, and phelps just wasnt at his best here

  • We'll see.. There is a duel in the pool in December. USA Vs. Italy, Germany and another country. Can't recall. Beidermann and Phelps. Let see who wins it.

  • biederman has got a terrible start

  • And still he wins. MAN that's gotta sting. :D

  • ...if you notice at the race the underwater by phelps is the about the same as paul's...He usu pulls AHEAD in the underwater..here phelps is about dead even. Notice the last turn, it seems shorter then when he first broke the 200m Free in '07....to say that it was entirly the suit would be a lie b/c paul had a very good swim...and phelps said he was still "out of shape"

  • Bravo Paul!!

  • ok , do you know what will happen in the next championship , both will go with a textile jammer , so who do you think will win ?

  • Great Race from Paul. We would see what the future brings. Phelps and Bowman are the greatest unfairest looser in the world........

    We should all go to them and hold hands if they cry again.

  • your english sucks.

  • Beidermann got six seconds faster in one year. By the way, remember what happened in Phelpes last race. He beat Milorad Cavic when Phelps was wearing an inferior suit, and set an unprecedented world record. Like a lane coach said when he saw Cavic staring down Phelps at the Olympics, "Don't poke the tiger with the stick."

  • Actually Phelps wore a full body suit this time! he usually doesn't wear a body suit when he does butterfly

  • Phelps took the silver graciously, but coach Bob Bowman, threatened to withdraw Phelps from international competition because Bowman claimed Biedermann had an unfair advantage because he was wearing a full polyurethane swim suit, specifically an Arena X-Glide. Bowman said, "It took me five years to get Michael from 1:46 to 1:42 and this guy has done it in 11 months. That's an amazing training performance. I'd like to know how to do that."

  • An improvement to technique can put you to a whole new level.

  • he's got nice techniqe :D

  • speedo lzr is a normal suit????????????????

    never say that again noob

  • your an idiot, phelps used the same suite in beijing, no one remembers that hahahahaha

  • Phelps explains everything in an intervieu, so cup that crap your saying about him. He explains that, after bejing, he stoped training for 6 months ! And the suit, who also helped the german a bit. Michael will come back in 2012 and proove to everyone he's the best

  • he dsnt have a sport spirit..so wat he lost..he should accept it...get over it..ad work harder!!!

  • Every time he wins after the course he stays inside the water and talking with the others and now he lost he immediately got out of the pool

  • 15+16+17+18 cool

  • From last year biedermann has gone from a 1:45 swimming to a 1:42 and in the 400m he went from 3:48 to 3:40 in a year

  • Phelps probably forgot his weed at home

  • nice!

  • the suit alone didn't make Biedermann win, but it helped a hell of a lot. those suits really do make a big difference, especially in these longer races

  • Ok you didn't have to say about the germans(im from greece ok?) but what you said about the suits i think you are quite right.

  • wow, thanks or uploading

  • nice boobs at 2:00

  • german girls hahah.. deushland

  • Comment removed

  • they'd have to annex a pharmacy on the side of this castle if they want more fast swims

  • Good one ;)

  • for all those who believe that phelps was beaten by the suit.. YOU ARE ALL FUCKING STUPID! We believed so much that phelps is almost unbeatable. That we wont accept if he lost by any other swimmer! just accept the fact that there is always someone better than phelps. xD

  • Stupid discussion.

    Assuming it was reversed that Phelps wear this suit from Biedermann an won. No one would say one single word about any suit.

    But Phelps lost and suddenly of course "It was just the suit" that he was so much behind.

    Really ridiculous.

  • @RogerF99 the Arena fast skin suit 2009 is faster than the Speedo LZR racer 2008 . I got the 2 suits so i know it.. it,s not a stupid discussion...in 100 free style i got 52:77 with the Arena suit and 53:58 with the lzr racer..biderman 1:42:00 in 2009, biderman 1:48:09 in 2007..but you got the reason in one thing: in this race phelps had not a great performance so biderman would have won with the same suit of phelps. another thing: biderman in 2010 got only 1:45:7 without the suit of last year

  • @RogerF99 And yet now that the suits are gone Phelps is still up top and where is Biesermann?? Oh yeah his suit is banned so he cant even make A finals at pan pacs...

  • @RogerF99 Totally agree. It's easier for ignoramuses to focus on non-swimming aspects and reduce the result of a race to wearing or not wearing a suit. i would love to see those who say the suit makes it all, wear it, and try to beat a world record. not even a great swimmer, just by wearing a magic suit, is going to shatter a world record if he is not in world record pace witout it.

  • you know what's curious? recently i had a discussion with some idiot that kept saying phelps had beaten Cavic because he wore the LZR. here other idiots say phelps lost because Biedermann wore the Arena. Cavic wore the Arena too, and lost, Phelps wore LZR here, and lost. THE SUITS ARE NOT MAKING THE RESULTS. idiots.

  • I thought no one break thorpe's record.

    But Phelps did.

    So I thought no one defeat Phelps.

    But but but

    I was very very surprised!!

  • Phelps got beat. He would've lost anyway. Almost every member of team USA used the same suit to break world records and swim personal best. However, when Phelps loses they want to blame it on the suit. Phelps, Bowman, Rowdy Gaines, and Dan Hicks should all stop making excuses.

  • just accept the german power ;)

  • phellips didnt even look at biderman.. not good looser : )

  • Comment removed

  • biedermann had fins on. I haz seen it wif mai eyez.

  • Maybe the suit helped him, Michael Phelps is still a fantastic swimmer wearing the most effective suit or not. I think its the suit, cause scientifically it has more rubber, and with that it has more buoyancy. But it doesn't matter, Michael Phelps is still a better swimmer, even if he lost one race, its not a complete tragedy

  • germans ftw!!!

  • gayy suits micheal phelps is being held back becasue of his sponsor

  • Biederman= Gay

    The arena suits should be banned

  • Hahaha... cry a river, build a bridge and GET OVER IT.

    Biedermann CRUSHED Phelps. It was not the suit.

    Phelps won with the same suit against Cavic who had Biedermans suit. So obviously it is not all the suit!

  • shut up. he beat him and there is no suit bull shit. and if it did matter, why didnt phelps wear the same suit as biederman?

  • ppl say that phelps didnt wear the same suit as biderman cuz speedo payed phelps millions to say with the suit that he had on originally. but they're banning the suits anyway in 2010, just to put it out there.

  • hopefully biederman will continue at the same rate he improved from last year and put to rest any debate about who's the greatest of all time.

  • @ Dkd666

  • Comment removed

  • Now that phelps doesnt have the fastest suit, he and bowman throw a bitch fit that ppl have faster suits than him. this wasnt an issue when the lzr was the thing to get bc it was the fastest! suck it up.

  • Why the Americans,including Phelps and his coach, have to be this unsportsmanlike?

    If Phelps wins everything is perfect. But if he loses, the others automatically have to cheat?

    What did you expect, that Phelps is invincible`?He had to loose a race one day.

    Of course, Biedermann wear a modern Suit, Phelps didn't had, but didn't Phelps wear modern Suits, others didn't have, in the past to win medals, eg at the olympics?

    But at this time it was ok, as long Phelps was winning?!So, please be fair!

  • they werent unsportsmanlike, they were shaking hands and hugging after the race.

  • oh wow. . .I agree that these suits give an unfair advantage. One of the articles I just read about this race said that 14 other world records were broken by swimmers wearing the same polyurethane suit. . .that's insane! Just imagine the damage MP coulda done in one of these bad-boys!!

  • hahaha this is funny:)

    You guys should watch my show:)

    Give me some dares:)

  • Oh mein Goot, Huninator was bist du denn für ein Trottel ?

    1. Biedermann hat eindeutig zu recht gewonnen

    2. Ohne Muskelkraft ? Ahja, ok... zieh DU den Anzug an und schwimm mal da mit.. du würdest nach 5m untergehen auch mit dem Anzug...

    3. Wenn es doch so unfair gegenüber den anderen ist, sollen die anderen doch so schlau sein und sich auch solch ein Anzug kaufen...

  • aso na dann wenn de meinst.

    ohne den anzug hätte biedermann gegen phelps nie ne chace! zu dein 3. nur weil was legal is wie jetz dieser anzug, is es nich immer gleich moral un so richtig aber so was verstehste anscheind noch nich.

    zu 2. ich meinte damit er hat nich nur wie phelps muskelkraft genommen sondern och diesen anzug. allein mit nur muskelkraft hätte er nie gewonnen.

    also denk ma erst vorher nach un dann schreib wat du trottel

  • Es ist doch Okay und deine Meinung.Bloss ihr schreibt immer"hätte""wäre""wenn"na super woher willst du das den wissen das phelps gewonnen hätte.Das ist einfach unbelegter blödsinn.Ich hab die Staffel gesehen.Deutschland wurde nur 5.ter.Aber Biedermann hat Anfangs alle um längen(auch phelps) geschlagen.Das immer auf den Anzug abzuschieben ist doch echt lächerlich.

  • denk du bitte auch erstmal nach, phelps hatte bei olympia den mit abstand besten anzug, ohne diesen hätte er deiner logik nach nicht eine goldmedaille gewonnen. und so eine vernichtung über 200m (über eine sekunde vorsprung) ist nicht alleine durch einen anzug zu erklären, zumal biedermann diese leistung ja bestätigt hat in der staffel, als er phelps ein weiteres mal hat stehen lassen. biedermann ist der freistil-könig bei dieser wm, auch wenn phelps das nicht wahrhaben möchte.

  • eben doch

    hätte phelps den an wär er noch ma 2 oda 3 sekunden schneller gewesen

  • wow...bei olympia noch überhaupt nicht konkurrenzfähig...nun schlägt er den für einen übermenschen gehaltenen micheal phelps mit weltrekord...das kann unmöglich nicht nur das werk eines badeanzugs sein...britta hats gezeigt...es kommt darauf an wer ihm trägt!

  • Trottel des Monats.

  • Grüße aus Halle an der Saale an den Rest der Welt!!!!!!!!!!!

  • gruß zurück

  • in every sport suits get better and better so stop crying

  • DEUTSCHLAAAAAAAND!!!!!!

  • Is it all about the technique of the swim suit?

  • and the consistency of your blood.

  • I'm proud to be german!

  • Germaaaaany :) :-D

  • Hey americans... pls dont cry....looooosers!!!

  • They only that Germany has got lol.

    Who's the loser now

  • Not the only... but look you can pick simply the best 8 swimmers of 200.000.000 people in america .We only the 8 best of 80.000.

    The same thing with china and their fucking 1,3 billion ^^

  • Hey Learn some English!

    I barely understood what you said

  • Deutschland hat mehr als 80.000 Einwohner du Lutscher.

  • Du kleiner frecher wichser... guck ma wie viele aktive sportschwimmer es in deutschland gibt und jetzt halt die fresse...

  • Ja und die USA haben 200 Millionen Sportschwimmer oder was.Halt du die Fresse du Vollidiot.

  • Hab ich mich halt verschrieben naund jeder weiß was gemeint ist du wichser ey man immer nur provozieren hier man such dir freunde .... bist bestimmt ein fetter mann und sitzt nackt vorm pc

  • next year we will see how's really the best without this swimsuits.

  • tja, die deutschen halt :D

  • its rly funny to see new worldrecords every second @ swimming - ofc only because of new swimming suits^^

    most of these guys are doped, like in every other comparable sports - i believe it is even more doped then in the tour de frace, cause the tests there are 10 times harder and more often then @ swimming.

    still: the best swimmer mostly wins and this was a great performance.

  • biedermann was incredieble

  • biederman is a godd swimmer and he is no nobody

  • in my opinion, Phelps is really a bad loser.

    In China he was wearing the best technology swim suit and won nearly everything, at that time there was no american shouting: unfair!

  • What's wrong with using technology to improve performance anyway?-it happens in every other sport.

  • That's why high-tech swim suits should be and must be prohibited.

  • And why not ban all other technology that gives human beings an advantage when you're at it? Perhaps we should all go back to living in mud huts and chucking spears. That would please all you Luddites.

  • May be my intention is misunderstood. What i was saying is not denying the fact that Micheal Phelps did lose the match, my point is why FINA have been opposing to high-tech swim suits for years but never take any actual actions

  • Funny how everybody thinks michael phelps is the best swimmer in the world michael phelps is talented and im sure he is a great man but the reason he won 8 golds was because he swam and trained the most of any swimmer who attended phelps was the best in shape athele in Beijing that is why he did what he did he is only human. Anything another human has done u yourself could have done

  • Bowman fucked with Phelps' stroke.

    End of story.

  • is he using the new technique there?

  • If phelps had wore the new technique swim suit, he would have been the winner.

  • Nein, dann hätte er nicht gewonnen, weil Biedermann eindeutig der bessere an diesem Tag war.

    Es ist absolut lächerlich das auf den Schwimmanzug zu schieben und Phelps als als besten Schwimmer aller Zeiten hinzustellen. ;-)

    Der SV Halle ist schon seit Jahrzenten eine feste Größe im deutschen Schwimmsport und hat immer wieder Spitzensportler hervorgebracht und Biedermann ist keineswegs nur ein Durchschnittsschwimmer wie die Washington Post schön arrogant schreibt.

  • Phelps wore the best swim suit during the olympics. Now biedermann uses the best swim suit. So what`s your problem? Do you think that the most advanced swim suits are only dedicated to americans?

  • It's a mistake of Bob Bowman if Michael has the wrong suit or a contract with speedo. Everybody can buy an arena x-glide or not?

    Everyone has already loose in his live. Why not Phelps? He is a human like everybody else. Or should we better got to him to hold hands?

  • Most Ugly World records ever

    go home

  • Get rid off the fucking suits.

  • phelps is pissed.

    no doubt.

    i dont blame him.

    8 time olympic medaist got beaten
