50 Meters Butterfly Swim-off at WC Melbourne 2007

[XTRM1N8R]

Im 16 5' 10" I swim the 50 fly in 23.27 YARDS. I have not swam it in meters but it would be interesting to try because my walls blow. Did it on state champion relay team! Woot!

[XTRM1N8R]

50 fly is such a tool event haha 200 fly is where it's at!

Hi Guys - I'm dutch and I did 50 meters Butterfly in 1956 in 26 seconds -

I was 20 % faster than other guys by using TUMPEK invented by an hongarian swimmer and then copied by Atie Voorbij who I saw doing it, and then next day I did it just like that - It's inhaling one time per two strokes and you swimm much more under water like a dolphin - it's beautiful - I wonder if I'm the only now in the world knowing how to do it. - I'm 74 but still able to demonstrate TUMPEK - IT4S HEAVY but fast

[andresrojas22]

lol

[rbaleksandar]

Damn! Soooo coool :) Most difficult style but fastest and look awsome!

[skieskipper]

What are you talking about? If fly was the fastest, why do all the swimmers choose crawl when swimming the freestyle :D?

[rbaleksandar]

Because you don't get tiered so fast by swimming crawl ;)

[5039452]

You;re way off, butterfly is not the fastest. Freestyle is.

[andresrojas22]

frot crawl(commonly called freestyle) is the fastest followed by butterfly, backstroke and breastroke

[frenzydee]

butterfly's the fastest stroke only at its peak speed, you dramaticly slow down at the recovery which is why its just slower than frontcrawl

[mrandresg]

i can swim a 23.01

[Lucasthesuperfish]

i can swim a 30, and i'm 13, i got a vid up too...

[andresrojas22]

As it was said before, Frederick Bousquet scratched, so both came into the semis. Rupprath though didnt make it even though the time was fast :). Mankoc made it later on also in to the finals

[crismiss11]

thats hella funny, dead heat twice lol cool tho

[jaepil]

it happens alot for sprints

as distance increases, so does the gap in different times

[SweetLadiii]

Jea... the slovenian swemmers are really good.

[Wallfilms]

Ugh. Makes me tired just watching.

[jernej13]

Hahaha... I remember that one... :)

[calx13]

That's cool. Wouldn't they all make the final and not just semis with that time?

How did this resolve? Did they swim again? Who made it in??

[ogswim]

Frederick Bousquet scratched later on so they both made it in the semi-final without having to swim again.

And yes, it was only 23.99 needed to make it in the final so all three of them would make it in top 8 with these times.

[naruto994400]

@calx13 As France's Frédérick Bousquet scratched the final, a swim-off to the swim-off tie was not need, and both Godec and Mankoč advanced to the semifinals.
