Swimming Men's 4 x 100m Medley Relay Final Full Replay from the Aquatics Centre at the London 2012 Olympic Games. - 4 August 2012
Swimming has featured on the programme of all editions of the Games since 1896. The very first Olympic events were freestyle (crawl) or breaststroke. Backstroke was added in 1904.
In the 1940s, breaststrokers discovered that they could go faster by bringing both arms forward over their heads. This practice was immediately forbidden in breaststroke, but gave birth to butterfly, whose first official appearance was at the 1956 Games in Melbourne. This style is now one of the four strokes used in competition.
Women's swimming became Olympic in 1912 at the Stockholm Games. Since then, it has been part of every edition of the Games. The men's and women's programmes are almost identical, as they contain the same number of events, with only one difference: the freestyle distance is 800 metres for women and 1,500 metres for men.

This video shows why Phelps is the greatest athlete in human history.
+alaa kamal elbehery phelps is a greater athlete than bolt
TraumaER
ymkl?nol red roses soldiers what is people called who walked out when a shooting
I end up laughing every time I watch this video ... out of sheer joy. The brilliance of the American team ... and especially Nathan's finish is spectacular. Hope to see some of you swimming again at the next Olympics! With all good wishes, Ken W. A.
It was awesome for Japan to win Silver. Fantastic swim by Kitajima especially. I guess he was desperate to make up for his disappointment in the individual events. I think he swam his leg like 0.5s faster than Hansen. Great way to go out.
Nathan destroyed everybody LOL
Ikr I love him so much
Ye he's so tall and went underwater for most of his 100m
the result is shown right their lol
he's a legend
I'm team USA. Nathan Adrian is a star - he was simply unbelievable. He finished the race like a champ vs rookies. Phelps is all time great my fav champion.
Yayyyy Japan! None of the backstroke kick were as fab as Makoto's :P
you make my day :v
3:45 skip to the race
Thanks that helps a lot!!🐬
Hero
Thanks
Thank u
Missing swim season so i decide to watch swim videos lol
Missing being in a swimming club :(. Swimming alone is sad.
Tapering, so bored, and watching swim videos lol.
4:56 he really butchered "Kitajima" 😂
_“KIJAMIJA goes in for Japan...”_ 😅
Free! season 3 lookin' good.
Potato from Hell YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YOU ARE MY HERO
I came here from Free!I thought I was the only one xD
Potato from Hell I came here because of Free! xD
SAME THOUGH
Same here, same here :D
1:33 "knowing this is the last time he will race for the USA at the Olympics" 😂😂😂 So hype for Rio!!!
+Amator DeNex He is swimming in Rio, that's why I thought what they said in this video was funny
+Enrico Quaini YEAH!!!
Apparently tonight is his last race. Watch it on NBC. I don't know if he's legit or
+FunnyVideoMaker77 Well, Lochte said in an interview that he would see Phelps in Tokyo. Last year, Lochte didn't believe that Phelps is serious about retiring and he was right. You never know, he might be right again.
FunnyVideoMaker77 woowow
wow nathan adrian's split 46.85
I'm just under 5'2 and the torsos alone of these swimmers are as tall as my entire height! They also have some muscular necks as well. Their workouts outside of the pool must be insane. BTW, I love the bright green shoes the US team is sporting.Waiting for Rio 2016!!!
I think being tall is an advantage in the pool, along with having big feet.
@@rushrush1209 it is..
@@rushrush1209 i am 4"6 and my relay mates are 5"6 😢
it's called dry land :)
@@olivianotrodrigo bro how is you swimming when you only come up to my waist?
I never tire of seeing this video, over and over again. So proud of you American guys.
Free! Iwatobi Swim Club live action is here...
Nathan Adrian seems to have won this for them. Phelps and the guy from Japan were close.
Farewell to the Greatest Olympian of All Time. Much Respect Mr. Phelps
I can watch this 100 times and this race is still as exhilarating as the first!
Once a swimmer ... always a swimmer ... :)
I love the backstroke
Track and field, speed skating, and track cycling are all organized the same exact way as swimming. Each distance event gets it's own gold medal. Completely fair, as each event is catered to a different type of athlete (sprinters, distance, etc). Phelps is just that good that he can race different distances and still win.
As someone who can't swim, I searched for this video to post one comment: "I say, isn't it hard paddling out?"
As someone who does swim, I searched for a comment like this one to reply: "yes"
Terrence Hopkins Finally! Someone gets my reference. :D
Nope!
I WAS THINKING OF FREE! IWATOBI SWIM CLUB THE ENTIRE TIME. I WAS LIKE YES! A RELAY WITH HARU, MAKOTO, NAGISA, AND REI. 😄😂
It's even weirder when ur an Otaku and a swimmer. It makes me feel special.
AoT is Love, AoT is Life 〈3 Man Im watching anime but still doing stuff in real life, like siwmming, gym, etc
Lmao I just got done watching it nd wanted to see if they animated it good and they did...just anime muscle are sexy hehe
SAme he
Make us free to splash!
I was rooting fir Japan due to Free Iwatobi Swim Club
HES COMING BACK!
Proof?
MrKidxam ummm its like everywhere...search it up on speedo or look on his insta account. Hes training again
MrKidxam
Just search "Michael Phelps" on Google there's hundreds of articles
supatvshowuploader Yup i agree with you... and there is evidence everywhere everyone knows and he's been winning medals at so many meats already he needs to just accept that Phelps the greatest swimmer EVER is back!
Michael Phelps be like in Terminator voice,"I'LL BE BACK!"
Free!
You will always be remembered Michael Phelps
Nathan Adrian is the absolute hero! Every time!
"I only swim free."
OMG Haru
haruka !
HARUUUU!!
HARU
I'm going to miss MICHEAL PHELPS, he will never be replace!
Such a massive fan you can't even spell his name👍
Everybody gets replaced ! In friendship , relationship , work and especially sports.
Phelps: After this I’m retiring
Also Phelps: sike I lied
Way to go Michael Phelps. You are my inspiration.
What a badass sport
Nathan Adrian is a machine. Heart of a champion. My hero forever.
verygood race for japan, kitajima is great swim particularly this race.
Make me feel so excited..What a good team ❤️
I came here because I wanted to see the real one...
Yep
Mee too Haru :D
me too
I'm glad i'm not the only one
lol...Me too
USA&JAPAN is very Strong!!!
It's amazing how far these guys can go underwater. I aspire to do that one day.
mightymads fg
Damn. This is just incredible! These guys are freakin' flying through the water! xD
I was comparing pretty much every team member to Makoto, Nagisa, Rin and Haru.
lmao i'm here bcz of Free! too much anime for us i guess
Me too. and I just couldn't help but make a Gou-when-she-saw-Haru's-muscles-like face at 8.00 and 8.04
Same
I'm here because of Free! after watching the anime I got really into swimming.
+cass xo I can beat both of you, bring it
+CrreamyKeyboard what's your 50 meter free time
I'm probably faster at swimming then you you weaboo punk
MAN!!! I love Phelps he is just sooooo talented and as a swimmer l see that talent and how hard you have to train to get there!!:)Eish he's GOOD :)
And to think swimming was initially Mr. Phelp's outlet to deal with ADD. Just shows you anything is possible!
Such a beautiful sport! This is the only sport I'm good at, I suck at everything else. I have tried basketball, volley, martial arts, and I humiliated myself. This is the only sport I'm in love with
and the legacy of Michael Phelps lives on...
the best of the best!
August 8, 2013
he is the best im here to remember 2023
Phelps will win 200m IM and 100m fly for the fourth time in RIO 2016, and he will win the 200m fly for the third time. You read it here first.
I'AM*
+Sidionian mmmmh FRANCE
+Sidionian Don't forget chad le clos the one who beat Phelps in 200fly
When I read the comment the first time I was like what if Michael Phelps didn't even qualify then I heard my self and started crying in laughter. LOL 🏊🏼😂
Chad will win it
Phelps will maybe slay 200IM and 100 fly
But. Ryan Lochte tho
200 and 400 IM
はい！
カッコいい❤️
you're right, that 148 was absolutely insane. Bowman (phelp's coach) called it the best yards race ever. Proud of my high school friend/teammate
The greatest Olympian of all time.
I can’t wait to see the 2022 winter Olympic Games and the 2024 summer Olympic Games
Makoto, Nagisa, Rei, and Haru
toyota, honda, kawasaki, suchi, goku, picoro
Not just the best swimmer of all time, but the most dominant athlete in the history of the Olympics....
Japan!!Kitajima is legend!👏👏👏
This man is my hero. Truly deserving of the greatest athlete in Olympic history.
yeah , exactly . Adrian was on fire in London and he still is the guy to beat this summer in Barcelona . Same for Grevers . They can put up a great team with Adrian , Grevers, Jones and Feigen .
Is it just me or is Kitajima's name being pronounced awkwardly?
I always thought it was kee tuh jee ma not kit ah jim a
I can't stop watching this race :)
Nathan Adrian 👏👏👏
michael phelps butterfly is the best
Lol I watched this because of Free the anime. Reminded me the Iwatobi medlar relay 😊
I'm here because of free! xD
cass xo aha :D the guys on free looks so much better than these XD
its medley relay
I LOVE MICHAEL PHELPS!!!
I love smile michael phelps
Haru,Makoto,Nagisa,Rin are still the best in swimming on mens division
Yes, yes they are
😄
I Love Japan.
Always fun to watch again and again!
Swimming is such an underrated sport it makes me sad but we're like a fam. It's a culture and I love it💗
They looked like dolphins or mermaid when they were under water the first time in the beginning
it's called a stream line you start off the block stream line then do your assigned stroke
it's called a stream line you start off the block stream line then do your assigned stroke
+apes13 yeah then you do dolphin kick or breastoke pullout
pada ngomong apa sih inyong ora ngerti
Yes it's dolphin kick
すごいぜ！めっちゃいいメンバー！これがあの手ぶらで〜の一戦かな😳☺️👍✨
ですね☺️北島さん一位で帰ってくるところカッコ良すぎますね！
The sharkkk Micheal Phelps I loveee youuuuuuuuu❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Matt Grevers still holds the pool record for my high school swimming. What a tank
Because he is a great swimmer. His technical skills have been perfected, his explosive strength is incredible (nearly the whole race was pullouts and gliding). He works hard with a great coach. That's how he went that time.
Nathan should have finished the freestyle instead of Lochte in that race when the french won!
maybe but imagine if they've started the race with him...
So happy that Phelps is swimming again!!
Olympics is making all the medals for the USA congrats🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I only swim free.
I’m waiting for Olympics 2020 :) Season 4 Free lets go.
it's amazing how half of the viewers only came after watching the free! anime
