why are people raging over whos the best swimmer in the world? is it really worth it? you can't label a swimmer 'the best in the world'. because they are all specialist in different strokes over different differences. you can label the fastest person in water but not the best swimmer in the world.
3:30 going to kiss? lol. ryan lochte is just dominant these days, when breaking a WR is pretty hard, because of the ban on those hightech suits. nice last leg for lochte, but repect for phelps.
looks like phelp's "perfect swimmers genes" are as jacked as theyre said to be anymore, haha it's cool cause i'm going to UF next year an i'm gonna be training next to the fastest swimmer in the world! :DD
breaking a suit world record with a jammer on.... holy fuck thats an easy 1:52 low probably 1:51 in a jaked.... which shows you how much faster he has gotten!
I think Phelps could have won this. Look how far behind he was off the dive and still touched first at 50m, only to go back to second after the underwater part. If Phelps could once again have the best underwater dolphin kick in the world like he had in Beijing he can probably win this race.
@volcanus20 lochte has had better underwaters than phelps for the last 3 years..... gotta watch swimming haha thats why lochte shits on everyone short course.
@1224erday because the lack of oxygen is your biggest enemy during the last 50m at 200 IM. Lack of oxygen = more lactic acid in your muscles = harder to keep your technique at max speed = loss of speed.
Also, their freestyle technique allows them to breath like that without really losing any speed, their freestyle is built up around how they breath and their dolphin kick.
See, instead of being an ass, i answered his question.
@1224erday its called galloping phelps does it the most. you train breathing every three or five but when it comes to race it doesnt matter too much. just dont breath near end of race and your good
Wow, this was so close. Lochte really deserves this win. After many years of frustration with finishing second to Phelps, he was able to beat him. He used Phelps weapon to beat him i.e., serious determination, heavy workouts and underwater dolphin kick. He is the best swimmer now, congratulations to Ryan!
@afara2000 what??? what are you talking about...Phelps has always trailed Ryan in this IM dude... get your facts str8... and since they're best friends they BOTH push each other in this event.. yes in the past there were times when michael would put in a good race, time or even win.. but this particular even...the 200IM..has ALWAYS belonged to Lochte.. no need on congratulating him on something he's the king of LOL PS they both use the under water dolphin kick... are you a cricket fan? LOL
@V3GAdigi1 That's not true. It was Phelps who held 200 IM (long course) records from 2003 until end of 2008 Beijing Olympic. It was after 09 that Ryan took over from Phelps NOT always. You're right, I forgot about last year events. I think both swimmers are phenomenal and deserve credit for what they have been able to accomplish.
@afara2000 ryan is not the best swimmer in the world and never will be. 10 years ago michael was already setting world records....lochte was just learning how to swim.
@nbacswimmer I said Lochte is the best swimmer now, not ever. Since 2009 he has been unbeatable you like it or not. We'll see in summer of 2012 if Michael can come back to the top. But I think both swimmers have potential to be the best in next olympics.
@vasgeorge The real idiot is the one who calls others idiot without proper reasoning! I never said Phelps is worse than Lochte. Currently, Lochte is the best swimmer as he has shown it both in PanPac and 2011 world championships. But this doesn't take away Phelps record which is best ever even if Lochte wins most swimming medals in London 2012.
Thanks heaps for the video but please could you not put the winner in the title? It's my first time watching it. But thanks for the upload all the same =)
