i love how they barely acknowledge phelps in this...

[jesuispigro]

aw baby phelps!! he looks so scared.

[melodametal]

announcer: well this boy has a future

future: u have no freaking idea

[marcoantonioflores88]

two things.

1. Michael Phelps was last until the last 50.

2. Some guy is wearing a speedo!

I love it!!!!

[erinem1234]

phelps 5th ? what ?

ah ok, he was 15 years old..

:)

[Freddiewgbs]

the difference between the 200 fly finals now and then is that before everyone was competing for gold, now everyone is competing for silver, behind phelps

[swimmingsandra]

i love malchow!

[BiggPitch]

omg!!! phelps has such bad turns here XD

and i look at these suits and it makes me lol

[TheBraziliantV]

"Oh, doesn't this boy have a future, he's only 15 years old" that guy was on the money, who besides Michael and his coach knew 8 years later he'd be the most decorated olympian of all-time?

[MetalcoreForLife]

at 4:32...is that lezak?

[lexsoft]

Dennis Pankratov was the only one who breathed sideways, i.e at his right side. He was still great, at least up to the first 150m, he just lacked of endurance after that.

[Redhawks57]

phelps amazes me here... 15 years old...

[Minator93]

i love how at 6:12 it says 200 freestyle xD

[mc1703]

they did theirs in plastic. phelps' was in textile jammer...

[mc1703]

can you imagine phelps swimming a 1:52.09 against this field.. he would be out by about 4 bodylengths!!!

[Temible]

but then again Lazlo and Matsuda both did 1:52's as well, phelps isn't the only swimmer in the world who has improved

[aaacacaas]

I love how malchow won the race and the name of the video doesnt even mention him

[kris533d]

swimming is so much about strength, but ofc also technique but a 15 year old can easy beat a 13 yeared. it should be the same in those races

[ImNotThere100]

i'd say its stranger not to see the commentator and cameras zooming in obsessively on phelps.

[BarneveldDarts]

phelps...so young and so doped

[Tiaragurl]

michael turned fifteen on june 30th 2000

[lbm4n]

hahahaha is phelps wearing Hydro specs???

[koko56]

huh?

[girlygirl850]

is that really micheal phelps

[koko56]

He was in the final of the 200fly in 200 olympics afaik

[Illustrious7124]

Hmmm...right now it's kinda weird watching Phelps in a race that he doesn't win...lol

[kenylay]

he was scaaared ! omg hes amaziiing ... i love him ! btw justin norris looks always surprised

[PhelpsPhive]

Aww he's so cute

[Tiaragurl]

michael looks like he is about to throw up-he was so young!

[koko56]

Well, 16 yo in an Olympic final...

Nothing unsusual here, move along...
