  • @jarto10 that was his full potential..

  • World champion with 15 years,and by his 16s he had already beaten both the 200m and 400m freestyle World Records.That with a career that had barely started,and he had already reached the top.Nobody knows where he could have become if he had reached just half of his potential.One thing is for sure,Biederman wouldn't hold a candle to him.

  • gr8 race!

  • phenomenal race...

  • @benskutnik i think he has the best freestyle technique in history

    his head position is perfect just look at the underwater shots of the 800 free at the 2001 australian champs u have it on this channel

  • @poolpimper His stroke isn't phenomenal. It worked for him obviously, but look at that head position.

  • @TheLeilisa

    shut up spammer

  • @yotanbamix didnt get that?

  • awesome Ian , go ahead at olimpic games in 2012 at london AND DON'T GIVE UP . I'm very sure that you'll win at London 3 or 4 GOLD MEDALS :).

    All my respect Iordan Adonis from Romania !.
