  • woah these swimmers are so advanced, they dont even need flags!

  • Rowdy Gaines's reaction was epic!!

  • Oh my freaking god! Spectacular!

  • Being tall such as 6ft is an advantage in swimming ?

  • @TheLeilisa

    well yah, longer arms means longer reach, which means more water to pull per stroke, it can help for turns too. The only way it may not be an advantage is for breastroke. But hard work and talent are far more important components :)

  • @polo4ever1 Thanks , i need a couple of inches more. There is this herbal product named " helpo growth formula" that i ve been using for months now and actually can see the difference when i look into the mirror.

  • @TheLeilisa is this a working product that can actually make someone taller? How much have you grown since you started using it?

  • @evildnalor it is a working product that can make you grow taller. I have grown 2 inches so far

  • dat nigga swim fast.

  • @mkjiuutheowner that's nice to say regardless

  • awesome! i remeber watching this live. cant wait till London!

  • African americans r just as good whites and im white myself.

  • African americans r just as good whites and im white myself.

  • 3 words

    kiss my ass

  • people get way to heated up on here. calm down, you guys turned swimming into a connection with slavery. watch these people SWIM.

  • that nigga cant swim??

  • @krakmxer cullen double dumbass

  • slavery had nothing to do with todays African athletees abilities to compete very well in sports. Its ahs to do with their own capable abilities and hard work. If I recall, there are people of native africa who can compete evenly with people of slave descent. Not all slaves were breed by force and slavory was not all the same in most parts of the world. Give peole credit where credit is do and stop making up falious excuses to why you suck at something or your suppose ethnic race suck at a sport

  • @xcmet athletes*, has*, take capable out* (its redundant), bred* not breed, slavery* not slavory, people* not peole, falious is not a word, supposed* not suppose, sucks* not suck.

  • If I recall some time ago people thought that blacks could not compete with whites in marathons races..they were wrong..and now some of you here gawk that a colored person or ethnically correct a perosn of African decent can swim. It shows how ignorant you all are and how you feel to do more research to understand other groups of people.

  • @xcmet marathon*, person*

  • lot of ignorant racial rants going about why cullen jones is such a good swimmer being black. He's a good swiimer becuase he trained hard and worked to get to where he is. Swimming has nothing to do with a person's race or heritage(slavery). Stop being ignorant a congrat the man for a well hardwork. A person of any race can excel and become good at any sport if they work hard. I'm black and the reason you dont see me swiming is not becuase I can't but because I'm not intrested not that I cant.

  • @xcmet swimmer*, because*, and* congratulate*, well hardwork??, swimming*, because*, interested*, can't*

  • Date a Asian lady # lushfmlk.info #

  • its sad how canadians have fs2's and americans have lzrs

  • hey, im black too...

  • OMG! AT 5:27 CULLEN JONES JUST TOTALLY SLIPPED ONTO HIS BUTT/BACK! :(

    i hope he didnt hurt himself too bad!

  • on U.S.A. there are 2 kinds of distincted persons...the FAT Mcdonalds dudes...and the champions (specially phelps)

  • What I don't like : the americans commentators don't even say what team is second and third.. They go for the interview and we still don't know. We have to watch until the very end to see the results listed.

  • We are different... WE ARE U.S.A!!!

  • so black people CAN swim!!!!

  • it is amazing how the black guy kicks the water!....

  • @kmccary lmao. I'm black And I wish I could run track but I'll stick with swimming.

  • @LifeguardSai something wrong with your legs?

  • @theblakgeek

    Alright, then blacks don't have any advantage in running, whites just know that you stay clean and don't stink when you swim. Tongue in cheek of course.

  • @tallswede68 You must be white if you think being in water makes you clean. Unless theres a bar of Dial in your speedos somewhere, and if you're white there should be plenty of room for that. Tongue in cheek of course.

  • @theblakgeek

    You must have never swam in your life, and be somewhat ignorant, if you think being in a pool for an hour doesn't remove all the bacteria and dirt from your body, especially since most pools contain chlorine. So are you an idiot?

  • @tallswede68 It's ok dude I know Scandinavians don't bathe much anyway. Come to think of it, you don't see many of them win many swim meets either. Don't think I'll be visiting your country anytime soon, the smell must be atrocious.

  • lmao i love how they are always pointing out the black dude

  • @bbgurl22ful I love how it's always funny when your not black..

  • @CJThaSavage i am black...

  • @bbgurl22ful Then why laugh at the ignorant black jokes?

  • @CJThaSavage im not laughing at anyones jokes i was just pointing out how they gave alot of credit to the cullen jones. he deserves it nonetheless, but they alwaysss point out the black guy in situations like these and its funny to me.

  • i love swimming is my life....

  • haha. Me too.

  • The commentators need to calm the FUCK down.

  • it makes the game more fun to watch instead of them talking normally. If they did it would be boring

  • 3 letters

    U.S.A !!!!!

  • that are 4 letters

  • @meanphenom Amen!!! (:

  • why did brazil get DZQ?

  • Not sure, but most likely because of an early start. That would be my best guess.

  • yea phelps isnt a sprinter his best event is 200 fly.......

  • holy fuck phelps was slowest...

  • The lead swimmers are always going to have slower times because they are timed from a stationary start whereas following swimmers can dive as preceding swimmers are coming in. That is why as the leadoff, Eamon Sullivan set the world record in the 2008 olympic 4x100 despite Jason Lezak having the best split time in history.

  • well you said split time.. so his time was best...

    and start swimmers i think should be always fastest if you have a record potential because the first time canbe a world record because its a regular swimdistanz and everything... the others are just split times...

  • did u hear him say that phelps just got out of the heavy-duty 200m backstroke? that's probably why...

  • he also had many races to recover from

  • i swim 4 nss durham

  • for anyone out there, join a swim team, nothing is more exhilarating than the tenseness and excitement of the sport

  • That was the most amazing swim relay I've ever seen. No matter how many times I see it I get the chills. Simply priceless!

  • I got the same Suit like michael Phelps And lezak :)

  • I Love Swiming!!!

  • michael phelps is very very nice... =)

  • michael phelps is just DA BEST!!!

  • Why was Phelps the slowest? reaction time?

  • The first is always the slowest because of the reaction time. The following swimmers can line up and jump. the rule is that you can have your body in full motion but you feet have to remain on the block until he touches the wall.

  • Exactly. And if you leave the block before they touch the wall. You get D.Q ed.

  • i think it was also because he just swam a race not too long before this.

  • thanks

  • yep i agree with yoshiebe he swam a race not to long and than this so...

  • black people can swim just as fast as white people its just determined by how hard you work. So there you racist *****.

  • I agree, man philip I wanna see you beat the black ethnicity people! they can run way faster than YOU

  • That is a fact : black ppl have advantages in running , so most fast runners are black , but white ppl have advantages in swimming . That doesn't say black ppl can't swim , or white ppl can't run . Whit some will a person can do incredible things .

  • thank you. its the tipe of musles in each of awer tipe of bodies.

  • Dude im black and i suck at running...

  • Can you swim?

  • @Marnikthepope White folks don't have swimming advantages...its just that blacks know you can't drown while running.

  • @kmccary

    So you're saying that blacks are afraid of drowning?

  • Comment removed

  • @Marnikthepope It's not the fact that you are white or black...It's the type of the fibers...Black people tend to have white fibers wich have more density and are ideal for explosion ...that occurs because over the generations due to slavery, only the black people with the proper muscle fiber for slave work were more adapted to the environment...So they reproduced over generations and now, almost all black people have white fibers...there are exceptions though...This guy might be one of them...

  • i agree with sporty, will is everything, some people are faster then others, but still ethnic backround means nothing jackass

  • .........wow....

    sorry retard but it's something you could never do...

    swim or run...

    at leats some of us out there can swim or run....

    im sure you're some fat person who looks up to michael phelps or any other swimmer or runner and be like...

    "i can't do that..."

    it's all about the will.............

  • Actually dumbass Cullen Jones really helped the USA team in this race. and yes I'm black and i'm pretty sure i could outswim you. I'm talkin to the racist philip711videomaster

  • u cant whats your 200m breaststroke LCM and 100m br.

  • dude, you can't compare just with your best stroke

  • FINE whats your best stroke ill be faster no matter what.

  • woah, hey calm down man

    i'm not trying to make you make you feel bad or anything, just making a point

    best stroke is free, haha, nothing out of the ordinary

  • what do you go slow ass.

  • hmmmph, fine, i was trying to be nice

    100m free:58.67

    200m free: 2:03.98

  • you suck my 100m free in LCM is 56.35 and my 200m is 2:02:03. and free is my second best stroke. if you dont belev me go look it up i live in canada. im 6th. the person if first go's 54 so im not even that good at free.

  • alright, you're better then me, congradulations, hope you feel better.

    but don't insult other people so much please just becuase we can't see your face

    you're a guy right??

  • U suck even harder : :D 53.13 an 1.56.09 but free is my best stroke , how old ru and whats ur best stroke?

  • cullen jones swam on my team when i was younger! i have his first ever autograph lol wen i wus rlly young i told him he us gunna make it to the olympicsss and so i made him sign my cap. still have ti to this day hahahha

  • woah, that is so cool, congradulations

  • haha :D nice

  • thanks haha

  • ha thats so cool. yea i swim with him now. at MAC in charlotte, nc. i practice with him every day. he is a really cool guy.

  • NO WAY! you do! tell him dina little red head girl said hi for me!

    ahaa

  • haha he'll be like ha okay? yea he's a pretty straight up guy. i went to spain with him to train for a week with my group at MAC.

  • why are relay starts faster than track starts?

  • 'cause you've got the flystart, you don't have to wait for the whistle, or whatever, and it is a lot easyer, because you can acsually SEE when you are to start. When you wait for the whistle, you start AFTER the starter blew the whistle. In a relay, you start just as the person before you touch the wall.

  • there is a monumental difference between short course yards and long course meters.

  • lol...

  • yeah...anyone notice there is usually a 4 second difference between each (usually)

  • his time in a 50 meater pool would probably be 56 wich is slow for a senyor.

  • A senior at edison highshool in southern california, split a 42.80 in a 4 x 100 free relay. this is SCY, about what time would that be in LCM?

  • phelps had the slowest split time

  • He also is the only one who had to do a traditional track start.

    Relay starts are generally faster.

  • he's also not a sprinter

  • yeah

    i would like to be not a sprinter like he is :X

  • Yeah....traditional starts are slower than relay....

    Why do you think they officialize the first time (50, 100, 200, or whatever you're swimming) in a relay?????

  • i think it is because you start on the buzzer and not off a flying start, not to sure

  • no, it's because meters are longer than yards and you get more turns on short course (yards)

    AND

    the officials are supposed to watch for people diving early...and

    relay dives are faster becasue you have more momentum going off the block too...

  • cullen is killin em

  • credit also to jason lezak for having the fastest time

  • michael phelps ROCKS

  • USA BITCHES!!!!

    and fuck all of u jealous fucks who thumb be down just because ur from one of the countries they just destroyed

    cant wait till 2012

  • Tell it

  • israeli rules!

  • bro you must be kidding me did you watch the recent Olympics?

  • I hate kids like you who comment shit and drag inspiring people down.... Cullen Jones is one of the worlds greatest sprinters... I don't see you at the Pan Pacs swimming the 4x100m free relay, nor have you been apart of breaking the world record... So please ever so kindly... SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  • i agree with you love... don't worry.. it's just a kid who is tired of waiting for their balls to drop...and they are so bitter at life... so i fixed him... its all good.. we know hones is a good sprinter... :)

  • Well said! Cullen Jones was a great asset to the team in Beijing. It's interesting that the people who say Cullen sucks, don't hold world records or an Olympic gold medal! Hmmm...interesting! Can we say, 'jealous'! Go Cullen! You're an inspiration to us all!

  • we know you don't meant that.. you are just a young kid who is alone with no friends and you were saying that comment just for attention... BUT if you DID mean what you said.. then think of this logic... he sucks so bad that he has several world records to his name and a gold medal from this past Olympics.. and you have what? LOL... i'm sorry i couldn't hear you... what? LOL that's what i thought...NADA!!!!!!! he is a world class sprinter ...period!

  • im really tired of this shit commpared to them not very good

  • get owned! LOL you've got nothin! LOL

  • lol true but i am just saying compared hes not as good as them

  • well as a former olympian myself...years upon years upon years upon years of sweat and tears HOURS in the gym and in the pool.. bro...if you never trained for the Olympics.. you can't sit up in your room watching videos and say "well compared to the rest of them" LOL honestly.. he got there BECAUSE he is amazing! and if you listen to the commentators..they clearly say...he is the sprinter of tommorow and it's true.. you will see more amazing stuff by him...you can't compare..it's nor fair :)

  • No bullshit i have rick say's autograph

  • fake

  • I JUST MET CULLEN IN NC!!!!!!

  • OMGGGGGGGGGGG ur so lucky

  • how old was phelps there??????

  • 21 years old

  • WOW Michael Phelps is the BEST!!!

  • This was two years ago and times got waaay faster since then in the 100. Michael Phelps may have had the slowest leg, but he swam the lead off and times off the gun are always going to be about .6 slower. But he actually beat eamon sullivan to the wall in this race...I think phelps will be dangerous in the 100 free once he focuses on it.

  • for sure.. hes going to focus on the 100 free on the 2012 olympics.. this is gonna be really interesting to see.. will he make it? hehehe :]

  • /watch?v=6E-zdfm0UcA

  • <3michael phelps.

    DAMN HOTTTTTIE!

  • I cant stop rewatching this, its so amazing. Olympic history was made that day.

  • olympic? as far as i know these weren't the olympics O_o

  • it was the pan pacific championships in 2006, i think.

  • Cullen is so cool!!! I can't wait to watch him in 2012. Phelps has an excellant tattoo area! lol

  • Lezak rocks! He's the most unappreciated swimmer on the team but he gets the job done! He's doesn't get as much media attention as Phelps but he's always saving the day! He kicked ass in Beijing! He's the oldest but most seasoned swimmer!

  • MTV sell out!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow, phelps was slowest. well, he's not a sprinter. Cullen is awesome. Lezak is a miracle worker after his amazing swim in beijing.

  • "I'm smellin' world record herreee...!" Lol damn rednekcs .. great race though

  • Alain Bernard and that big ass gap in his teeth got owned

  • phelps gets the most credit but got the worst time by almost a whole second from the 2nd to last time. thats just wrong. but dont get me wrong he is a great swimmer

  • You obviously don't know anything about swimming.

    The first leg swimmer's time always seems much slower because that is the true flat time.

    The other swimmers get rolling starts!

    That's why only the opening leg swimmer's time count and other relay split times never count as records.

  • daang chelsea got owned

  • He has a slower time only because of not knowing when the beep is going to go off at the beginning, the other swimmers know exactly when to dive so they will be faster.

  • I love how phelps got the worst time out of all of them.

    also, ilu cullen jones. <3

  • Give me a break!!

    The first leg swimmer's time always seems the slowest because the others get rolling stars.

    The first leg swimmer's time is his true 100m flat out speed time.

    The others time never count for their 100 free time.

  • yeah really i hate people who dont know anything about swimming and think that

  • Phelps was just lucky. Lezak saved his ass!!

  • it's not about if he's fag but how he swims!!! biatch!!!

  • racicity bitch

  • You put way too much time criticizing and putting down the things you claim to hate.

    I hope you know that spending so much time and energy doing that only makes you seem jealous and envious.

  • For those of you who want to bitch about the suit, please take note that all the major contenders in this race have them.

  • whoo go USA LOL =D

  • throw the suit in the pool and see how fast it swims lol

  • i think one of the swimmers said it the best: The suit doesn't get up at 5 everyday to practice, i do

  • To all the haters out there, Let me see you put on the suit and do what these guys do, the suit does not make the swimmer, If you guys knew your shit about swimming you would realize that these suits only help by like .1-.2 seconds. I use to swim and all I can say is ppl saying that the suit is comparable to steroids are ignorant, FINA has approved of the suit and its available to EVERYONE so keep talking shit, these guys will still kick your ass with or without the LZR.

  • can you please stop talking about the fake suits! the team is really talented you see! michael phelps is the best!

  • well the world record is going to get broken consistently with the invention of better and better suits, not necessarily better athletes, that's what I am trying to say.

  • I disagree, if you honestly belive its the SUITS that can totally smash the world record by the amount that these guys did, then your insane

  • that's what those suits were designed to do
