The Most Hated World Record 😡
ua-cam.com/video/Dz9YvyDbfjk/v-deo.html
Maybe i'm wrong but i always feels that the 200m backstroke from Peirsol or the 800m freestyle from Zhang were the most impossible records.
Most impossible record to beat is 100 points in the NBA in one game
Female 2oo+1ooM double. Track
The reason Phelps was happy is because he never swam for records. He swam for passion. It is impossible to train as much as he did without a deep burning passion. The passion of the sport. And when you have this passion, you will be happy when a record is broken, even if it is your own.
I agree that he had passion, but the man 100% swam for records also. He wrote down specific times he wanted to hit for every olympic race he ever did.
At his last Olympic race he also said that he was not satisfied with the result as he wanted a wr, so I think records Kent a lot for him
Yes, we all start out doing it for enjoyment, but when Phelps was turning pro, he was asked by his agent "what did he want to do?" & he stated "to do something no-one has ever done" (8 gold medals in a single games) ergo break records
Michael Philips was literally depressed while swimming
He swam for records with passion.
You have just great videos, your enthusiasm for the sort is simply so very contagious! Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much!
When I saw him going uw 15m on the last turn..I knew he is on a whole different level.
LEON👍✊👌 MARCHAND❤
The breaststroke is unrecognisable now to what is was only a few years ago. A great part of the technique has more in common with butterfly than with 'traditional' breaststroke. This, in my opinion is the main reason for the faster time.
Please elaborate because that just looks like a breaststroke to me...
@@unphazd5137 Look at videos of breaststroke from a decade or two ago.
Ted Stickles 🤣 What a name!
😅
His parents knew what they were doing 😂
@@JackAlderton his sisters name is Tessa but she goes by Tess
All records get beat. Phelps did more for the world with his swimming skills to create a whole new generation of swimmers in every country! And breast was his slowest leg so that does not surprise me.
Cal Ripken Jr, Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, Wayne Gretzky, & Wilt Chamberlain might beg to differ...
I do not think any of the athletes mentioned did more than Phelps to create a whole new generation of swimmers in every county.🤣
you said all records get beat...but not these@@KHallesy
Awesome as always!!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for your videos , you incoraging me to help people to stay healthy learn how to swim and improve the quality of my videos.. Great video !!
An interesting thing about the breast stroke which I recently figured out is that it is the only stroke where the kick goes pretty much straight back, which is far more efficient than flutter kick or dolphin kick, where most of the energy goes up and down. Never could swim breast stroke because my feet just won't point out like that.... Now, if the over arm side stroke ever gets to be a competition stroke again, the record will drop a lot more.... Still need to get that video made... Life is getting in the way.
love underwater dolphin kick - but my body still tells me I suck at it XD
I think he mentioned in his biography no limits that the training for the 400 Im for Beijing made him never want to do it again
It usually isn’t that athletes can’t achieve a certain time barrier like a world record or the next round number. It’s that they don’t know how to. Someone has to figure it out first. An example is the 2:03:xx marathon. Not long ago, that was considered almost impossible. Then it was achieved. Then the other elite marathoners adapted to this new reality of training and expectation. Now a dozen guys can do that. The same will happen in swimming. Paradoxically, the super suits may have slowed record progression because everyone was thinking “you need a super suit to do X, and I can’t use one now.”
Breaststroke has always been massively important in I.M
Great video !
So not only did he beat Phelp's record, he did it without the help of a suit?!
Which means he would easily go under 4 with a suit?!
he did it without the "super suits", he was still in a tech suit just not a fully body one. those suits were banned within a year of release because they apparently granted an "unfair advantage".
Slight error in your graphics: Michael’s WR in the 200 IM was 1:54.23. He set that in 2008 and Lochte broke it in 2009 with a 1:54.10 The 1:54.16 is his PB, set a mere .16 after Lochte in that famous 2011 shootout.
❤ from Philippines!!
As a breaststroker, I actually haven't really noticed that. That actually gives a good point!
No one wants to swim the 400IM, even those who are going for the medals in Paris this year.
Only other guy that comes to mind when thinking of top breaststrokers/flyers is Daiya Seto.
do you know that the french motto is "impossible is not a french word" ?
😲
The Great Wayne Gretzky said... "records are meant to be broken" - makes the sport that much more interesting. However, I believe it will only be a matter of when, NOT if, someone sets an under 4 min 400M IM time. Whether that's Leon or the "next" Phelps in 10 or 20+ years.
Look at Summer McIntosh, she owns the world record for the 400m IM (she's only 17 yrs old), and even more impressive, she is nearly 6 secs faster than the 2nd best in the world, which makes her feat that much more impressive!
FYI: Records are great, but I'm more interested in how many Olympic Medals one has, especially gold ones!
Errrr…5 minutes without goggles is nuts!
4:34 I’m confused since Michael made it in 2008 Olympics, should it be 15 years?
Anyway, this is a great video about M 400 IM and it’s history.
i think he said record holder for an event. He might of beaten it before and beat it again for a last time in 2008
Thanks for your amazing videos, I started swimming 2 years back 5 days / week following your drills. Flys and Free mostly, brought my speed under 2m doing 40 laps in 20 mins, what would otherwise have taken an hour.
Not to mention the weight loss journey from over 200 lb to 172lb now, ideal for my height.
Nice work!
He has a very good shot of it. Wish him well.
If Michael had concentrated his efforts on a single event, he would be able to swim below 1:50 in the 200 butterfly and 4:00 in the 400 IM (he never loved this event).
That would've been awesome to see
Not a single person who broke one of Phelps records ever held all 5. None have even come close to 8 gold medals. Phelps stands with Spitz at the top of the swimming world.
This presenter is intelligent, i like him!
As someone who only swims 50 and 100 free. This is unfathomable
The Irish brothers in the next Olympics Game will destroy some records 🙂
That would be very cool. Specially the 800
Lochete's 200IM world record is still there😂 just incredible
Not for a long time, our national Leon will destroy it.
Mary T.'s records in both 100 and 200 meters butterfly were BY FAR more amazing. You can check for how long they had stood
Nothing beats 400IM it's the main race and the most complete race ever in swimming
@@scarosboy2332 I do not argue with boys 😂
At one point he had 8 world records and 9 American records ( 100 free at 2008 Olympics.) look it up.
Individual world records*
I wouldnt call him the best swimmer,you say that this stroke is like like triathlon,but people think 100m is the fastest,and best event,like usain bolt
Call who the fastest swimmer
Now imagine a 100 of each stroke 😯 4 times more fun
Yes its the fastest sprint. Not the fastest runner. Thats more the 400m.
sun yan does not do the underwater dolphin in the 1500m so I think it is not for everyone
This record will last less then one year.
Anyone who knows sports knows all world track and field records from the 70/80's eastern bloc countries mean nothing, all sprinting records from the 80/90's are tainted, and all swimming times from the body suit era aren't applicable. "World records" in all sports are beaten at a constant and fairly applicable rate, but when something other than the athletes natural abilities are the cause it stands out. The number of "best times" in various strokes and distances across the board by hundreds of swimmers all just happened to be from 2007-2009, and when the suits got banned it has taken years for the natural progression to top those times.
If you think only eastern bloc countries athletes records are suspects, you're a bit naive.
For swimming, it seems the 90's was a decade with very few records broken then come the early 2000's with new records after new records (the training or the "training" was surely better in those era than the late 80's/early 90's) and finally the 08-09 (07 could be include too but i will not) period with broken suit that made some records unbreakable like the 200m backstroke or all the freestyle between 200m and 1500m (the 1500m was close to be broken in the recent years but not yet).
The most impossible world record is the women's 200 fly
Ahem, the most untouchable world record is women's 200m butterfly.
Uuuh that's a good argument
@@SkillsNTthe 200 free men
I guess people also dope a lot in this fields. Phelps did and all the others do it as well.
120 triathlons in a 120 Davis world record commences in April 2024_ will push human limit get to watch Dutch world champion.
"Leon smashed the record". Whaou, how on earth can Skills N'talents do that : he said Leon but without his name, just the forname !
Léon Marchand smashed the record of Michael Phelps.
"There was a time in the 1960s when breaking 5 minutes in the 400 IM seemed impossible" is an absolute exaggeration: the world record of 4:55.6 that you mention was broken in August 1961...
what about Gretzky's assist record, Rice's receiving record, Ripken Jr's consecutive games played, those are still standing...which would make them more impossible than your already beaten record?
Two words... Biological Passport. That's what all sports need, or it will just keep getting more and more ridiculous. .
Cross fit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😂😂😂😂
1 man vs 5 xD ... who is the Best? Phelps
Michael was always more interested in collecting as many medals he could than setting world records. Had he focused on single events, his records would still be there.
NICELY done 🎉😮🎉
Im old but ive learnt that if you listen to the hair on your head you can assuage your speed.
A couple of wrong moves demonstrated in this video i discovered in greece when i was swimming until exhausted but by chance realised that putting my head facing the sand on the bottom of the seabed my speed picked up .i was aware of my speed by utilising the senses of my hair.
I improved drastically.
All little other movement showed either a decrease or increase in my speed.
I suppose its like blind people who can use their fingers to read braille
I’m sorry, but 400 IM is not comparable to the decathalon. Running, jumping, throwing, vs swimming, swimming, swimming.
You mean jumping quickly, jumping long and making something jump far? Jumping, jumping, jumping....
He was pointing out how they both have multiple disciplines that you need to be good at, not comparing their difficulty levels. No other event in track is like this.
@@SkillsNT huh? There’s running and throwing involved. Not just jumping. You high bro?
@@SkillsNT what? No comeback?
No worries the world record is French also.
Freestyle is not a stroke, front crawl is. In a freestyle race you can swim any stroke you want, in am IM you must swim frontcrawl
Maybe it has something to do with the pool water instead of the swimmers speed.
Sub 5 min 400 free is good enough very few can do it. 400 IM sub 4 no ways not this year
I broke 4 mins for 400m free at 16. I couldn’t do it Long course though
Incompréhensible , soit tu parles en français , soit tu dégages ...
honestly, I'm not sure it's possible to have that much improvement over such a short period of time. I smell something foul
Give me a swimmer, then I will show u the meaning of bio-mechanics in swimming. I the record can be hit short by about 5 more seconds.
@@flutter8712 Do u understand what study of bio-mechanics is?
Please explain what bio-mechanics is in relation to swimming if u serious.
And, please, don't compare what u know to what I know because I proved what I know.
I don't do Wikipedia strokes, like every other swimming instructor uses. I don't teach like the other swimming instructors because I am mostly do instructor work and not much on the coaching side - do u know the difference? Of coarse, a swimming coach only knows coaching.
Watch the video from the start - Most swimmers are not go at all the strokes, especially back stroke and breast stroke. I have a field day when I teach learners who can't do this properly. The majority of coaches can't teach back and breast stroke.
I worked in a place that made swimmers - Swimlab - cape town. We knew this for a fact because there records would have never lasted because we knew that they not built strong enough for this game. There were a few international swimmers and my Head coach helped with the SA team.
All the top athletes play others sports, so we left with the weakest. Same goes for every other country because swimmers don't get much money.
@@flutter8712 We been doing it already.
Progress can't be stopped.
I do not use your know swimming programme. I created my own swimming programme.
It is better than the everyone else work.
I don't use other people's work to instruct stroke development or coach.
I have been called arrogant many times. Being more intelligent than other people in certain subjects doesn't make you arrogant. It means that you understand your gifts.
Maybe these coaches would have been better in other jobs.
Dealing with people is a different ball game.
@@flutter8712 Right!
Michael p would have never stood a chance at breaking so many records if his competitors had better strokes.
There legacy was made by having a strong coaching team to guide him.
Real swimming coaches and instructors base there ranking on what they can do for the weakest swimmer. Having your swimmers win goal medals or doing good is a bonus. Helping your weakest swimmers achieve great progress is a sign that you know how to do your job well.
But you won't know that because you not working in the field.
wait until Michael Phelps became Michelle Phelps.. she'll beat any women records available
Phelps was happy because the focus on him taking drugs would be shifted to the next world record holder.
1st coment
thanks to the doping everything is possible
We will see if that's true in the "Enhanced Games"
Swimming is the most boring professional sport.
