  • Wow, the guy came from behind. Freaking amazing...

  • sensational performance he came from the clouds!

  • We should ban MASH. That fictional show made lots of money for them, but Korean suffered a lot because it shows Korea poor ,dirty and bad. The culture of Korea it shows is not even Korean. It's a messed up show and almost everyone in this country thinks that show represents korean poeple and culture. three year war but 12 seasons of show.They created ugly Korea and Koreas abroad suffered so much because of this show while these poeple made lots of money.

  • It is beyond me how here is a video that has to do with swimming and people start talking about the economy, wealth and poverty, racism, and all the glorious fourth-grade bickering. The world sure is a strange place.

    Well done Park!

  • @BoundEnigma i just LOL at your comment.

    yes, the world is indeed strange. haha

  • Eh, dont like that la. People work hard to get gold for his own leh, might not for his korea country. Besides, he is the first asian to beat ah-mor country (austrlia) here in this video lorh, should be proud of him, not look down on him. Park Tae-Hwan jiayous~! ^^

  • Comment removed

  • amazing last 50 for park

  • o man im here in korea and i dont see anything wrong and your saying korean goverment is messed up how could you know your not even a korean so dnt you try to messed up here

  • @MrSammlee The Korean government is messed up. You don't see it, cuz you're an idiot.

  • I don't actually care who you are.

    The person I talk to has to make sense when he/she talks.

  • Did I mention about big companies?

    No?

    Why?

    Cuz I can't compare with your country as your country has NONE.

    I simply stated Korean economy might be better than your country right now when I looked at the newspaper 2 weeks ago regarding 2009 economical profit & growth percentage.

    So read newspaper first and then talk kangaru shit, ok? You sound more idiotic than anyone else here.

  • If you are offended, that is too bad. I simply stated the fact.

  • @gemgem92

    Yea, economy is bad everywhere but probably Korean economy is better than your country, though.

    Any Australian products??&&%% Oh yea, Kangaru food can!!(just joking..)

  • @gemgem92 i actually agree with you,

    korea is just about good at everything else other than economy.

    korean government is very messed up, especially with MB as the president.

  • @susmmm

    Hummm, in what way Korean gov't is very messed up? And what is got to do with Park winning the medal???

  • @07090614 in every way. Myung bak is ruining the economy. just because we have alot of big companies, it doesn't necessarily mean that we have good economy. koreans can't even get a break from work because they can't afford to.

    & because i was replying to someones comment about the korean economy.

  • why is everyone fighting over the economy? just watch park swim...

  • @gemgem92 everyones finding hard to work anywhere these days. Also, having samsung LG and stuff everywhere does mean that Korea is wealthy. The difficulty of finding a job is nothing to do with the country being wealthy. The more difficult it is the better qualified people only get the job which will run more efficient economy so either way it does prove that korea is a wealthy or at least developed country. News is always only up to the extremes. if you actually go to korea u'll see how itslike

  • u havevvnot been to korea. stop being so ignorant. ive lived in korea at one point and i still have family there. the economy is doing well and is still holding up, besides look the american economy then talk,

  • @gemgem92 hav u been to korea to make this kind of comment... bro if you go to korea whatever country you are from, you will be very surprised how developed korea is.

  • @gemgem92 korea is not a poor country anymore. If you see the economic development statistics you will realise that our economy is among the best of the world. Our development in economy was the fastest in the history and that's why korea is a big interest to study for economists. If you visit korea any time in your life.. I can assure you that you will be very surprised how developed country Korea is. The period when we were poor was many decades ago.

  • u are probally thinking of north korea...in the other hand, south korea is really civilized and up to date just like the rest of us fat americans :)

  • ah..

    LG and Samsung and Hyundai is from Korea.

    Korea is not poor, Korea is just developing much.

    It is a pitiful situation.

  • i wouldn't be too sure about that. US is the one in recession now

  • some people are sooo wrapped up in their own country that they have no idea of what is happening outside of their region..

    pathetic.. wake up people!!

  • lol who says korea is poor? in the 50s yes it was but now it is 2010. they are better off than japan with lot more industrial & economical sales not to mention most advanced electronic technology. do some research, fool

  • u can control ur electronics with ur cell phones when u r miles away from home, all kitchen appliances talk back to u & 99% of the homes in seoul are keyless or scan entry.

  • @sophieranma Actually as much as I indulge in Korean stuff. Music, dramas, etc. And no Korea isn't poor at all but economically Japan is still ahead. I mean take a look at technology, cars, motorcycles, etc.

  • Comment removed

  • @rimu5 ROFL you are obviously still living in the 80s. south korea has the world's fastest internet, higest cell tech & electronics. koreans basically control everything with their cell phones, even their kitchen supplies. all korean apartments are keyless entry with all sorts of security devices which you cannot find anywhere in the world & soon will have facial recognition entry released. cars? i don't think japan is doing too well with all the recalls they have now. updates needed!

  • @matorisky Japan's economy is the 3rd largest in the world. It's true that Korea has some amazing technology but globally they are still not as dominant as Japan. And while Japan may have recalls, they still are a dominant force in the auto industry. Their GDP is larger, their standard of living better and even the GDP per capita is the higher than Korea. Not to mention, they have equally impressive technology. The funny thing is in the 80s Japan was in an economic crisis.

  • @rimu5 lol Japan is in an economic crisis now. you have your history mixed up. Japan was in a boom in the 80s the housing bubble burst in 1991. why do you think 90s is the Lost Decade. furthermore Japan made some very big mistakes and didn't develop its techonology along proper lines (ie semiconductors, cell phones in korea) and even SONY is now controlled by a Welsh Jew. Japan is a much bigger and much richer country than korea, which is a small country. try cracking open a book

  • @shalom1948hellyeah Everyone's in an economic crisis right now. It's because I cracked open a book that I know economically speaking Japan is still better than Korea. You just said it yourself that Japan is a much richer and bigger country so what exactly are you getting at? No, I didn't get my time periods mixed up. Japan experienced a boom in the 80s and like most countries, they obviously slowed down. However, that doesn't mean they haven't maintained their status as a global power.

  • the population difference is a valid point but korean people are not naturally tiny in build. If you see korean people now, there are many 6ft people. I think korean people were small before due to lack of food from the war. But if you see average koreans now, there are many tall and heavy built people as well.

  • YEEEEE!!! :)♥

    park tae hwan pwned!!

  • Steroids arent going to help u much in the longer distance events, they build bulk and for longer distance swimming u need lean muscle, bulk causes u to be less flexible and have less endurance.

  • incredible... he just won so nicely, staying back during the 350 m and on the last 50m passing them all... just amazing

  • i do 5:20:00 on 400 meter and im 10 year old

  • the youngster from korea..

    the youngster park tae hwan..

    he's seventeen..

    he's the star..

    he's the gold medalist..

    oo sensational performance..

  • haha the korean pwns the bigger and supposedly stronger swimmers! that korean came out of no where and b*tch slapped the other swimmers lol. koreans are dominating every sport out there.

  • lmao calvin you dont know what ur talking about.. lollll every sports.. haha try like 3 max 4 hahaha

  • wow, he won in such a big event no wonder Sun Ye, Sun Mi and Ye Eun (Wonder Girls) jumping and screaming xD

  • man is a G - only 5 feet 9 and still kills it

  • i'm Chinese that was born and raised in Korea, and now reside in the USA. i love all cultures, as you should learn to as well. all cultures have their equal share of flaws. this is why all the other ethnicities look down on us asians, because we still bicker about stupid shit 3rd graders would. you're a good example of that, tgzo123

    and reguardless, Park Tae Hwan worked for that gold medal and in the end he brought it back home.

  • @vanquishfire lol no they "look down on" you asians because they're racist. the sooner you realize this and adjust your immature worldview the sooner you'll have a clue.

    if you live in the US, you should be more concerned with the fact that Asians are discriminated in college admissions, hit a bamboo ceiling in the corporate world and work more hours for less pay than whites and jews.

  • @shalom1948hellyeah i think that asian countries need to get over their prejudices against each other before worrying about prejudices from other races. a good example would be the prejudices between japan, korea and china (there's way more to this list). how can we even hope to gain the respect of other non-asian races when we can't even learn to respect each other. And of course i've realized there's racism involved but it don't think that's as easy of a fix than what i just proposed.

  • @vanquishfire back home?? ur chinese buddy. dont be calling my home urs

  • what a poor no-lifer tsk tsk. Stop wasting your life all day and go make some friends you worthless human.

  • your mum takes drugs..

  • Shit...stop hating yall. I'm Chinese, and i'm happy for Park when he won the race.

  • @WuTang011

    Finally someone with some sense.

  • Didn't know when he was swimming... I was on holiday in Korea and was walking past an electronics store and there was a crowd of people watching on an HD screen... I saw all the old people crying when they saw him win.

  • jealous chinese canadians makes me laugh.

  • what are u a mexican?

  • But I wanna know why China can't find 11 good footballer from 13 milion people??

    They found some good swimmer but why not football.

  • China's population of over a billion doesn't help them at all.

  • lollolololz Genetics

  • Ha, telling by your channel comment, you're Chinese. You also qualify for so called 'slant-eyes'. Sure, let's criticize a country with no reasoning, but only to throw out profanity to enhance the hate message. Grow up. Stop living in that brainwashed corner. And wow, a Chinese hating Koreans, that's a first. Usually it's Japanese against Koreans.

  • to tgzo123:

    why don`t you go learn some fcking english? for example, PARALLELISM? you`re a fcking hater & all you can do is sit behind a computer & say shit. how about instead of hating, you get a life? =)

  • listen to the reaction of the chinese.

    It's so hilarious. They're like 10 year old children, holding anger against an entire nation based on series of their own misunderstanding.

    grow up chinese people.

  • dude why don't you grow up and stop acting like all chinese people are like that. Ignorant little dumbasses such as yourself. Not trying to be derogative but you need to grow up and stop being racist.

  • any tips

  • park-te- ONNNEEEEE yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii boi.

  • DANG. Go Park Tae Hwan :D

  • WOW!

    i knew he won... but I hadn't seen the race yet.

    seriously, that was one crazy sprint!!

    I'm in love now *sigh*

    ^.^

    GO PARK!!!

  • When I first saw it back in 2008 I was in utter shock, since no korean man has won any medals in swimming and let alone a Gold Medal at that~!

    I was proud but then I had no idea he was going to be hot too, its hard to tell with the swimming cap on~!

  • This is still surprising since he's the first korean man to ever win any medal in swimming~

  • It is Park.

    Park & Pak are two completely different surnames in Korea.

  • lol its not completely different. lol some people go with Park, Pak or even Bak.

  • park and pak are the same thing. park is used as the "name" sort of and pak and bak is used as the romaization. bak being the official romaization and pak being the one people often incorrectly use as the romaization, but still the same thing

  • Actually there's no such surnames as Park, Pak in KR..Bak is the right one to pronounce

  • Its same.

  • That's news to me...

  • He was in the 2004 Olympics too. He was disqualified then tho.

  • park's 200 speed came in handy

  • i know phelps is the King of swimming but Park will beat him someday .

  • @ricardokaka08

    yap phelps counln't even go to final yesterday

  • @ricardokaka08 No he won't. Park specializes in freestyle. Phelps took the metals for all four.

  • hell yeah!!

    lmao!

    PTH!! XD HAWITING!

    you'll win against phelps one day! XD

  • what about hackett then? or vanderkayy? are they any more versatile? can you win a goddam gold medal?

  • wat the fuck do u mean by only?? do u even know how hard it is to get one gold medal?? haha wat the fuck haha

  • true. park tae hwan got silver as he was about 1 second later than phelps. at this age, phelps had not medals. i can tell you that park tae hawn will win phelps one day. he is only 18 years old here!

  • one day one day park will be crack pot michael phelps

  • he wont bro

  • Park is the man~~!!! Hope he does well in the future too

  • jesus just watching that last 50m of park's makes me feel sick and exhausted.

  • have u seen his kick in the last 50?!?!? amazing!

  • His Kick Pattern is 1 2 3 1 2  1 2 3 1 2
