[firefox4074]

[TibyExtream]

but i know i can go better ! :D

[element509]

[SKATEPASSION97]

@TibyExtream thats a terrible swimming country. Is it USA. In USA the 4th place 1fly for 13 year olds is a :56. Im 13 and i have a 1:02

[LaurelIR1]

phelps's after crocker ,crocker after world record = phelps is after world record

[thewhitefang007]

his win was so unanticipated, the camera guy had to run over to lane 6 lol

[GWALT1012]

@1mdmiles yea i bet thats not 100 meters though, youre probably talking yards

[1mdmiles]

@GWALT1012 & short course ;)

[Hydrofication13]

and crocker's career went down the shitter after this race

[1mdmiles]

Atleast I can swim my 100 free faster than that, take that phelps!

[element509]

@1mdmiles Wow, you can swim a 49 second 100 free in yards, props to you. Not really.

[1mdmiles]

@element509 thanks man

[luvblue00]

watching michael swim is a real treat! he makes it look...easy, which it definitely is not!

michael's last 50 meters is always amazing to watch.

[eaglescouter05271]

excellent race one for the archieves

[natabbyolo]

Micheal Phelps = beast .

Nuff' said.

[Im8915]

Why would you swim in a pool and get tired when you can run on a track and get tired? nvm. you get tired either way. :P

Each to his own.

[daexmachinus]

Bronze medalists has badass name.

[SuperClark18]

It makes you feel bad when you just broke a 1 min for 100 fly then watch this =(

[MrStryperfan]

@SuperClark18 i no!!!!!!!!!!!!

[twentyletternamesftw]

hahha love it, as soon as you see phelps head just nudge forwards on his last stroke you know hes got it

[1337NoFear1337]

How can anyone hate on swimming it's a diverse sport, who doesn't love to swim...It trains all your muscles it's fun, after swimming you get tired and you have the nicest nap ever!

[orangeswimmer1]

@1337NoFear1337 swimming is the best sport EVER!!!!!

[angelfan16]

@1337NoFear1337 That literally just made swimming the gayest sport ever. I seriously thought swimming was legit until I read that. Wow. You AND swimming fail at life madam! Hope you have fun having the NiCeST NapZ EvaRz!!!!!!!!

[Luckyhat66]

@angelfan16 If you're letting one silly comment on a Youtube video completely change your opinion on swimming then you're a fool.

[ZJN09]

@angelfan16 You're a fag

[ordude123]

i feel bad for the water

[latino7vzla]

CARRIL NRO 5 ALBERT SUBIRATS FROM VENEZUELA...

[Eskn69]

cant really see from up top. need to check the underwater cams.. from up top looks like crocker came first.

[MrMahesh14]

@Eskn69 is whole fool or what??

[Eskn69]

@MrMahesh14 ehh what? whole? fool?

[mikethetallguy]

Poor crocker i actually thought he won

[orangeswimmer1]

who thinks crocker really wins?

[gillesowns]

wtf how did he win lol

[kypselialani14]

i really dont like him...but he's a gr8 swimmer...and not just in 1 style...

[futsalmaniac]

beeassst!!

[GodlyWalrus]

phelps is a monster at butterfly :)

[orangeswimmer1]

swimming is the most AMAZING SPORT EVER!!! its the most bestest sport out there!!!!!!!!

[orangeswimmer1]

obviously alot of you guys dont know about swimming!! :)

[keno224]

Cavic must have had a crap turn he was even with crocker then the next shot hes way behind

[orangeswimmer1]

who really wins?? does crocker have a light touch??? did phelps accually win???

[ro9nin]

@orangeswimmer1 After being caught like that, he doesn't deserve a win. Phelps, USA all the way.

[orangeswimmer1]

@DezaB0nanza : dont get me wrong, Phelps is amazing, and DO YOU EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SWIMMING>>??? NOT AS MUCh AS ME, im a COMPTETIVE SWIMMER, :D so yeah ...! (:

[gretsita]

De tercero quedo el venezolano Albert!!!...

[tomyleejonez]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuw!!!!­!!!!

[edcloser]

What about Subirats in third? this guy keeps getting better!

[latinking1794]

dude to get everthnig straighten out i hav been reading the comments ur guys clearly are horrible at swimming. Im 14 and i go 53.67 long course meters not short course meters i no the fucking difference i go 21.03 50 free short course yards i go 57 100m backstoke long course i go 57.99 100 breast short course breaststroke im 5feet 9 inches u guys dont talk about swimming like u no it i could hav been in Jr. Nationals at the age of 13. I just jizzed all over u guys

[gnemick]

If he had timed that turn perfectly (he had to do a short stroke) Crocker definitely would have been right at his 50.4.

[ultrabeanify]

if you swam you'd be able to tell the dif between a 25m and a 50m...

you think it'd take 23 seconds for them to swim a 25?

and

they have short course championships for world-classed swimmers too...just that its not really publicized

lastly

you cant flip for fly :)

[pellegrini88nuoto]

Thit's Impossible

[eyinchungx]

How can he did it?

Phelps had more practice as how many times as Crocker?

[Spart1c1s]

lol, brush up on your english buddy

[Virus278]

yes

[RyEBreaD757]

ive swam seaonaly only for about 3 seasons and my 50 free time is about 26,4

[Virus278]

but you swam before you swam with a team right?

[RyEBreaD757]

does puttsing around at the ymca doing doggy paddle count?

[RyEBreaD757]

yessirr

my 100m free time is 1:02 high. the record for my district is 52 somthin :O

[Virus278]

Wow - I thought my story was impressive. I've been swimming 3 and a half years and I'd say my times are pretty good considering that fact. They're not as good as yours though. I can remember when I first started swimming my 50m time was 62 seconds lol

[RyEBreaD757]

dang bro! whats your time now?

oh, and i half lied. i havent swam individual 100m free in about a year, but i did swim 400m relay, but that was all after the 200 medley relay, the 400m individual, and the 100m back : /

[Virus278]

so you've only been swimming for 3 years and you can do the 50 free in 26.4?

[kixigvak]

NBA star Maurice Lucas, who played in the late 70s and into the 80s, was a fabulous natural swimmer. He swam competitively as a kid but as an adult, without working out, could still go around 50 for 100 yard freestyle. That's a fast time for a guy who stays in shape playing basketball!

[texasboy040]

Tim Duncan was a swimmer too

[chrisevilmonkey]

@texasboy040

your mom is a woman too , whats ur point !

[sanfer96]

Im doing 28,9 on 50 fly , im 13

[23Kingsolomon]

wanna know something? I swim the 50 free on 23.9 and my main sport is basketball

[teuidlmnm]

nobody s gonna belive u

23.9 is a Very good time u need a lot of skill and training for it

u could have done swimming for 10 years and then for some reason switch to basketball

[rspoke]

23.9 is varsity time you sir are bs.

[adamlewis934]

it is impossible to do that unless you train insanly hard. thats slightly slower than my mate who is in GB national team. so if your better at basketball than swimming you should be competeing on the world stage. you probly did a length at a 25m pool and assumed it was 50 because thats olympic size. check the fucking distance before you start making stupid claims

[Skullkids93]

@adamlewis934 Maybe he also swan in a yards pool? :)

[adamlewis934]

@Skullkids93 yeah, could be true, but either way it has to be less than 50 yards or metres or he would be national level

[Skullkids93]

@adamlewis934 Well.. depends on how old he is :)

I have a mate who does 24,01 i think on 50 freestyle Long course Meters.. His not on the national team(here in my country Denmark) and he is born in 1991 :)

[adamlewis934]

@Skullkids93 so hes 18, if he peaks at about age 23-25 he might just make it onto the national team but i know Denmark have quite a strong team. my mate did 23.2 long course metres and got onto the British team but he retired from swimming a couple of years ago, so back when he did that time it was just enough to get him on. but he still never got picked for the world championships or olympics, just a few minor competitions

[Skullkids93]

@adamlewis934 nice :)

I myself was very close last year at the EYOF (Youth olympic thing) In 1500 freestyle..

[adamlewis934]

@Skullkids93 wow very nice! so your a 1500 swimmer? i like 1500 but im not very good at it :( ive done it twice at our club championships now, last year i did 21.37 and this year 20.14. i should have been able to go under 20 but i blew it by sprinting at the start going out on 1.11 for the first 100, woops :P i bet you do about 16 mins to make the youth olympics?

[Skullkids93]

@adamlewis934 Yup just around 16 minutes now..

But one year ago i went 16.41 and the demand was 16.40 :(

[adamlewis934]

@Skullkids93 ouch, 1 second on a 1500. thats gotta be annoying :( was that long course or short course?

[Skullkids93]

@adamlewis934 Long course.. :) and i wasn't quite happy after i must say xD

[adamlewis934]

@Skullkids93 haha, i wouldnt be :) but i bet you're still going to improve loads, and that time would be a world record in 1966 so your doing pretty good in my opinion :)

[iheartsinging65]

@23Kingsolomon yeah, but what's the length of the pool?? is it a 50 m or 25 m/yards?

[rey619yomama]

@iheartsinging65 50m. 100m divided by 2 lengths is 50. bty, pools are always 50m for actual races

[iheartsinging65]

i know what a 100 and a 50 is, i'm a swimmer,i was asking 23Kingsolomon if they were swimming in a 25 m pool or a 50m pool because that can make a huge difference due to the fact that in a 25 m pool, you do a flip turn. i wasn't actually talking about the video, because yes, that is a 50 m pool.

[gioswimmer]

can anyone tell me where is ian crocker now? :D why wasn't he competing in rome 09?

[footindoor69]

He took more time off after the olympics

[texasboy040]

He retired. And now he runs a swim clinic with fellow Longhorn teammates here in Austin, TX.

[vasgeorge]

ian crocker ? xaxaxaxaxaxaxa

[Nevs022]

@mc1703, lol, well i hope you become something amazing one day;)

i officially want to be your friend(:

[mc1703]

I do a 7:58 LCM 800 fly but I'm only 2 days old so plenty of time to improve before the next olympics

[macdicas]

You're 2 days old? LOL

[houseoftheholy49]

On the fifty yard, my best is 32.8. And its free. And I'm 16. lawl.

[emmiebemm]

my 50 fly time is 35 but im 11

[swimmerforever2008]

I go a 28, and I'm 14, you'll probably be faster than me when you're my age, because I only went a 39 when I was 11. XD.

[Dbaggies]

@swimmerforever2008 your life must suck

[swimmerforever2008]

why? wtf?

[latinking1794]

j pitcher thats so much crap goes the us record for the 13 14 is 58 53

[XxCYBERTOOTHxX]

ive got that then :L

[ADVERTlSEMENT]

lol

[dumpsternews]

there's no way you do that- like the other person said, the record is 58. maybe that's your 50 time

[maxxxkiller]

Lol, ninja

[madit4]

i love swimming :] im a competitive swimmer so if any of you guys wanna talk to me about swimming or whatever, go ahead!

[BallaforeelG]

What events do you swim, and what are your times?

[harvpila]

cavic is not that strong that time..cavic and phelps, below 50 seconds in 100 m fly...

[friendsandothxx]

phelps is just amazing!

[Toxickre]

lol forgot it was a 50 meter pool. When they went 2 laps i was like wt f

[alexpettyfer12]

swimming is an amazing sport. phelps is amazing at it. end off!

those of you who say different, are jealous of phelps and u only dis swimming cuz u kno ur fuckin shit at it!

[XxCYBERTOOTHxX]

m8 swimming is class

your sport is your xbox 360 or ps3 or wot ever and say

dude how the fuck did u not die

at least they can have a life and do somthing with there lives

[littlezdawg2012]

You are awesome man, I hate people that bitch about swimming and that it's gay or something. Probably the fact that those that say it are god-awful horrible and uncoordinated, but thank you for posting your comment :-)

[cafuta14]

why the hell would someone hate swimming? o.O

i like swimming, i love it, i don't do it professional, but i like to swim when i have a chance

[12edDemon]

I swim about 8 hours a week (off-season) and play World of warcraft whenever im not swimming or studying. And I am very good at WoW. So I am a gamer, and a competitive swimmer.

[boulderboy587]

Well your cool

[MegaInidejmasa]

fucking fake!!!!

[WishForErin]

Sandmnch. Very true. But again, Australia only has 20.4 million people. Canada has 10 million more people than that. I think it has more to do with the different sports that are stressed in each country. Swimming has always been big here. I'm not 100% sure but from what I hear hockey and lacrosse are much more popular in Canada.

[fdppqpaew]

swimming is for gays, stop watching men in tight underwear you fags

[pastaowns]

piss off.

[littlezdawg2012]

If you're a wrestler, it's not like your tight outfit is much worse, douche bag

[littlezdawg2012]

Dude just shut the hell up, for good. thedude12329879 is absolutely right, because swimmers work the hardest out of almost every sport, and they get jack shit coverage compared to other sports. We don't even know if you even play a sport because you might just be that lazy piece of whiny ass shit that sits behind his computer and talks shit about people/sports. So knock if off

[fdppqpaew]

I play sports that are fun, who cares about hardest working and all this bullshit, swimming is boring as fuck and there is nothing to watch except some fags moving their arms in the water

keep looking at mens bodies u fag

[littlezdawg2012]

Wow dude, by sports that are "fun" are probably like what XxCYBERTOOTHxX said: Xbox 360 and other shit like that. You probably suck dick at swimming so that's why you hate it. Heck you probably suck dick at the sports you think are "fun" anyway, so shut the hell up.

[RecklessDefacement]

You're a blithering idiot....

You SHOULD care about the hardest working, and it's not boring as fuck you idiot.

[thedude12329879]

For a start, its not underwear, its swimwear.

And these 'fags' work alot harder than you do and are alot stronger than you.

Go and compete in your little pee-wee wrestling fagtastic sport and fullfill your ambition to be kurt angle.

[Koudy111]

If you don't like it, don't watch it ;)

[iluv2swimbutterfly]

@fdppqpaew how about stop being a douche and a homophobe? do you know how much talent it takes to swim? its actually one of the most challenging sports out there. so gtfo and stfu about swimming.

[KingRockets]

was this the one where phelps beat crocker by 0.01 seconds? or was that another race

[swimming4life12]

no, phelps beat CAVIC by 0.01 not crocker.

[WishForErin]

It was never my intention to offend anyone. I mean, I was pretty close to the sport. Yes we dominate a lot, but it wasn't always like that and it has nothing to do with our facilities. It's our talent. And it's true, once Phelps retires the playing field will be more level, just like after Spitz retired.

[sandmnch]

I agree it is your talent, but it's the fact that you have such a large population to draw from in order to find that talent. Any country that has over 300 million people is damn well guaranteed to win themselves some gold medals. If Canada had that many people, than we would find ourselves in domination as well.

[adisturbedswimmer95]

I think Australia really is the best swimming nation because they only have about 20 million people from which they can get good swimmers, compared to the USA's 300 million, although the USA is amazing

[WishForErin]

juandi2570. Chill. I was a competitive swimmer, state champion at that. I know about swimming. And no, we haven't dominated since the 1920s. Almost. But at the 1956 Olympics guess who beat us. Give up? Australia. We've always had a rivalry with them. That's where dual in the pool comes from. And if you read the comment below mine the only reason I said anything was to argue that we're good because our swimmers are good. Not because of our facilities.

[WishForErin]

Actually Australia was at one point the best. The only reason America has gotten so much attention and is considered a powerhouse is because of Michael Phelps. He's a natural. Sure I guess we have some good pools but it's more about natural talent. I mean, have you seen his body? It's made for swimming. Once Phelps is retired the playing field will be more level again.

[juandi2570]

excuse me "WishForErin" The USA has ALWAYS dominated swimming since the 1920's. America has 215 golds in Olympic history against like 49 golds of Australia. The USA has had awesome swimmers: like Matt Biondi, Mark Spitz, Aaron Peirsol, John Naber, Rodney Gaines, Phelps, Johnny Weismuller,etc. The USA always finishes first in swimming in worlds and Olympic games. It's an american tradition.

[dac683]

Phelps one of the best swimmers in the world there is no one that can beat him.

[MichaelSwg]

Phelps just got a 49.82!

[SwimmerofButterfly1]

twice man, phelps did it at athnes in the 100 m fly finals :D

phelps is absolutly THE BEST

[soccertorres9]

no hes not the serbian swimmer beat him hahahahah SERBIA IS THE BEST

[vikram301]

serbia is the best?lol, serbia has one world record, america has 21 world records. who is best? you are loser

[Alexandar1991]

omg,do you have at least 1 gram of brain vikram!?! america is like 200 times larger than serbia,how can u even compare number of records??!!think about it..

[vikram301]

you sad serbia was the best, my point is, how can you say you're the best when you only have 1 world record?

you talk about population, Australia has 3 times more population than serbia, yet they have 15 world records. population is everything stupid, india has 1.2 billiion people and have no records, so please dont be too proud, America has by far the most medals in olympics, so America is the best!

[MareBlok38]

America is best,only bcs has best condition for trainings and all companys for swimming are from america,thats why you are best...

[vikram301]

what your point? that we have successful businesses so we are the best? obviously, genius? thats not an excuse, thats something to be proud of.

[MareBlok38]

my point is that if every1 would have good condition like phelps has,he wouldnt be best...not to speak about olimpic games and how he won gold medal ^^

[thedude12329879]

well, it only counts as a win if he beats him in the final you fucktard ;]

[legofmunch]

KInda funny its not the first time a race of his was that close :)

[bryfadelity]

not sure, but if you are referring to the 100 fly at bejing, this happened before that

[FU0C0]

twice

[SuperSecretSquirrel]

it also happened in the 100 fly in Athens.

[legofmunch]

Sorry yeah thats what i meant to write lol.

[Danielchowchow]

LEGEND

[Igenty]

He's my swim idol O.o im a swimmer too!! ^^

[gek212]

somethimes they really look like a dolphin XD

[cassieandclaire434]

please stop talkin about the drugs and foucus on the swimming. thats what we really love right?

[stelier]

You are looser :D 1:24 :D, ok everybody cant be best :-)

[ironmadion55]

my best time on the 100 fly is a 1:24.. his is a 50.40.. lol

[swimmertom08]

ure all absolute idiots just get ure lives sorted out!

[Deadlycolli]

In fairness, smoking pot would make little difference to a swimmer's preformance.... unless you were doing it every day or second day it'll start to take effect on your swimming. I know a swimmer who was training in the states and he told me that apparently ryan lochte dabbles in a bit of weed every now and again, its no big deal, its just good for relaxing you or whatever, especially if your a sprinter.

[SpaceAgePlatypus]

gimacol, ur a dumbass. michael phelps won. hes a swimming God. i bet youve nevr swam competitively anyways you fuck. go put some floaties on.

[Gimacol]

phelps didn't deserve to win that

[goodmafiot]

you are soooo stupid.of course he deserve,more than ever !!

[Gimacol]

think about it, it if wasn't for the last stroke he wouldn't of won, so he didn't deserve to win

[trojwill]

every stroke counts ... and he was the faster swimer overall ..

[m1r3o]

everything counts! What does that even mean?? He deserved to win 'cause he reacted and got first!

[MarieDoZsele]

oh my goood :O :O :O

[XxSpainBabyxX]

Spaniard Rafa Muñoz is gonna own horseface Phelps this comin May..watch

[eswolf84]

so amazing.. he was so lucky.. because crocket was supposed to win that one. wow

[gabrielajael]

fuck

[travisdt]

smoking pot doesnt slow you down. living proof

[SE4GY7]

this was before he smoked pot dumbass

[travisdt]

how do you know for sure this happened b 4 he smoke pot? he might smoke long before and he is smoking it for now. i am sure he still beat anyone in the pool. u jugdmental bastard. fcuk all Phelp haters

[Guitar14k]

lol ur the idiot. SMoking pot DESTROYS YOU. maybe not much but every single cigarette does.

[ironmadion55]

uhh yes it does... pot slows down your mental stability. therefore, he might've been a little preoccupied during the race... trust me i researched this...

[trojwill]

he wasnt high while he was doing the olympics that was amonths away

[ironmadion55]

yes i know but reguardless drugs affects ur brain on the long term as well...

[Mcclaxman817]

Ur stupid as shit. he smoked pot he didnt do meth or coke you dumb shit. Pot is harmless

[ironmadion55]

i know he didn't.. he did pot and pot is NOT a harmless drug.. that's just like saying cigarettes are harmless.. i bet u learned that from obama's speeches... i know this stuff you idiot.. don't start smack unless you can back it up.. pot does harm your system and it does slow your reaction times.. it most certainly does harm you...

[eliottphilwil]

Yeah pots about 10 times worse for your lungs than cigarettes are. there really aren't any long term effects on the brain though.

[ironmadion55]

wrooonnng!!!! dope is the least harmful drug!!! cigarattes have tar in them which makes it wayy more harmful than dope! and dope hits the brain after doing it for a while! dont believe me, look it up!
