Brendan Hansen 200M Breaststroke WR -Pan Pacs 2006

[lifeisgood070]

i love watching this video right before I race.

[haynpinoy]

hansen is the bomb hands down in breaststroke

lol

i just wish he made it to the 200breast for this years olympics =[

[waldo1029]

heck no, hansen is sssooooo much better than Kitajima and u all know it.

[ryder788]

The WR is now owned by Kyosuke Kitajima of Japan with a time of 2.07.51.

[hansenandvanderkaay]

no hansen has the world record

[ryder788]

Before you response, please check your facts. Hansen's previous WR is 2.08.50 set in 2006 in the Pan Pacifics. Kitajima clocked 2.07.51 just recently in the Japan Open. One note: Kitajima wore the Speedo LZR Racer swimsuit. I guess all swimmers will be donning one in the Olympics when both of them face off. That suit certainly helps.

Do a google on "200m breastroke World Record". CNN has the report.

[Garre77]

in fact, Kitajima did not use the LZR Racer

[SqueekyBootsShine]

he did in fact, it was actually a LZR Racer legskin...theres a video on youtube with him wearing it...

[eminf50]

HEY I MADE A VIDO OF MYSELF I JUS PUT UPI PUT IT UP SO I CAN GET ADVICE PPL IF YER GOOD AT THIS GO WATCH IT GIVE ME SOME ADVILE PLZ I JELI WANA MAKE JOs

[JuergenALange]

Advice: Please write like a normal person, then maybe I'll take you seriously.

[852120]

u guys are such fuckin noobs, dont post shit if u dont know what ur talking about, legskins should NEVER be used in breaststroke as they were designed specifically for strokes where your legs always stya parallel to each other (fly, freestlyle, back) and not breastsroke. You actually NEED the friction on your lower part of your legs to swim faster as a stornger kick will propel you farther.

[JimmySwim121]

eh what was bendan hansen using in the 200 beast in santa clara?

[swimmingSMURF]

kk thanx for the help i will try that

[swimmingSMURF]

Does anyone know how natural breaststrokers change their stiff ankles to meks them floppy. Pls reply cos I need help!

[laurenish]

Sit on your ankles. Like sitting on your knees with the tops of your feet flat on the floor. Toes sticking out behind you. If that is not enough of a stretch put a kickbaord under your knees to make a deeper stretch. Also, do kick sets in shoes or with flippers.

[swimmingSMURF]

do u no how to get forward momentum because ive been told i dont hv that either

[uberthrower]

You can also sit on your feet with your feet pointing out sideways. You probably won't want to put your full weight on at first though so you don't hurt yourself

[swimmingSMURF]

kk thanx for your help

[MHSgrad2007]

Thanks for all the responses...but i think i will get a fastskin jammer...it beat my legskin time by at least 2 seconds thanks

[MHSgrad2007]

Is it better to wear jammers or a legskin for the breaststroke events???

[MeyersChrisA]

it depends. for the 200 probably a jammer because your legs will die if you wear a legsuit. for the 100, you should probably wear a legsuit

[JimmySwim121]

yes thats what i use but legs are now becoming more popolar even in the 200 breast with many top breaststrokers using them now

[LifeIsGood269]

I always use a jammer. Just shave ur legs if it is an important meet. Legs are really hard for me to use in breaststroke... but i guess it is just preference. Time yourself with each suit and see...

[Squidw4rd]

Yeah, i'd also say it depends about whether its shortcourse or longcourse. As in shortcourse you'll be underwater (streamlined) alot more. I wasn't a breastroker when i swam, so i could be wrong. :P

[HungAzn]

I agree. Fastskin Jammers for the win!!! Breastrokers = Jammers. I think leg skins tighten up your knees way to much and slows down your kick.

[iSwim100]

...speedo, no resistance for any of the kick just shave for big meets

[danielepeli]

Cazzo che ritorno...

[ajkjkkf]

This video is very helpful. Thanks. I'm goign to swim both breaststrokes at JO's in march. I'm going for a 2:15 in yard=)

[nadador1515]

How the...How can they go so fast lol!?

[fabstter193]

2:15 is pretty hard to get but thats the time im trying to beat

[laurenish]

That's an excellent goal fabtser! Let us know when you beat it!

[fabstter193]

thanks laurenish, if you know someone that can beat it please tell me

[kylemcmahon149]

Swimming rocks!!!

I am a competitive swimmer and a breaststroker myself! I compete on the national level.

[MHSgrad2007]

Neone know what the olympic trial times are???and when are they being held???

[yamahaha]

the week around july 4

[hendrix149220]

the 200 breast olympic trail cut is a 2:21.19

[uvababe197]

OMG im 12 years old and im only 9. something away from this record awesome!!

[sijas]

if so, are you going to the olympic trials in omaha?

i thought not, cause u swim in SCY.

12 yro's need to shut the fuck up!

[JuergenALange]

Thank you I was just thinking that.

[yamahaha]

even thought thats not lcm, 2:17 is a good time for a 12 year old. Good job!

[sijas]

lol ur stupid.

the fastest 10 year old can go a 1:10 in a 100 SCY. So u think in two years the FASTEST in that age group will improve that much?

stop falling for these retarded little shits.

[Bmon44444]

do you swim in a 25 metre pool though cuz you'll be slower in a fifty metre; its different criteria i have friends who are near this time in high school but only in the 25 metre pool

[casperyeah1]

he was ill in melbourne??

please upload the 200 B of melbourne kitajima was da wiiner?

[xooxoomaster30]

Holy crap, 2:08.50 is so fast! What's his hundred time? I won Nationals with a 1:14.35 as a 13yr old :) YEEEESSS

[laurenish]

His time in the 100 Breastsrtroke is 59.13. Congrats on that 1:14.35!

[JuergenALange]

in this video 1:02.29

[andrewtheblacksheep]

That's just a split, though. He'd be faster if he didn't have to swim the back half.

[leftrightpaul]

are u a girl? b/c that would be impressive but i know of 4 guys that can go around that

[atrasz]

I found an article about him when he broke the record that leaves common sense to fill in the gaps. If interested in it let me know. I refuse to post links as comments.

[atrasz]

Hansen 53.67 Fowler 53.66 for high school national records. Fastest time Fowler. This time was made as a Junior in high school. What happened to Fowler? Why not faster as a senior? Why not notable in college?

[laurenish]

Fowler finished 100 Breast at 2000 Olympic trials tied for 10th.

Hansen finished 4th. Went on to UT and got faster.

At the 2004 trials, Fowler finish in 15th place. Hansen Broke a World record. Hansen did it because he wasn't going to miss out again. I have no idea what happened to Fowler.

[atrasz]

I wasn't expecting a reply for a month. Thanks for the post. Did you know the stats or look them up? Just curious. My curiosity primarily involves Fowler though. 53.66 as a Junior is not right.

[laurenish]

I remembered Fowler from his time as a Stanford swimmer. But I did look up his placement. I knew Hansen's.  Pat Fowler was a great Pac 10 swimmer. I think he graduated in 2003. Sorry I don't know more.

[marlinsswimmer21]

howa bout all of you stop bitching bc hansen is the greatest ever hes from my town so suck that. and who gives a shit what he did in o4 he just broke his own record im prettty sure he made up for it

[zelda42]

wow!

[nlblondeswimmer01]

Brendan Hansen is hardcore :]

[punKcrema190]

brilliant

[Canyons12]

Wish he did this well at world Champs

[KingCollun]

Brendan is my hero.

[Canyons12]

Pity, wish he swam that during the 2004 games

[terrarepokemon]

at the end, sounds like the guy calls him "brian" lol

[crismiss11]

Drugs won't do much for swimming because its alot of your feel in the water and natural ability.

[ozlouw]

Nonsense. There are many drugs out there that would make swimmers faster. remember when the chinese cleaned up in that olympics (barcelona, i think) before they were almost all bust?

[breaststroker2007]

Hansen owns the breaststroke!

[youngwidow2007]

he didnt take drugs did he?

[laurenish]

Either you are trying to be provocative or you don't follow the sport. No he did not take drugs.

[breaststroker2007]

Swimmers dont need drugs

[youngwidow2007]

no your right, they masturebate before each race, thats their peformace enhancers

[RadicalHumanism]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES 

USA USA USA!!

[breaststroker199171]

Great
