    Nathan Adrian (USA) sets a time of 47.52 to beat James Magnussen's (AUS) time of 47.53 to win the men's 100m freestyle gold medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games (1 August).
    The tight race was completed with Canada's Brent Hayden winning the bronze medal.
    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 race really shows how important toughness and desire are at the end of a race. As the announcer said, Magnussenn looked like he had it won at about 80 meters. He had taken the lead and was known as a back-half swimmer. He even still had a noticeable, albeit very small, lead at about 90 meters, but Adrian just puts his head down like a madman the last 10 to 15 meters, while Magnussen breathes once or twice. That really was the difference. Magnussen had him beat but Adrian either wanted it more, was tougher, or both.

      Two breathes is not the difference. It shows how little you know about swimming. The PROBLEM was he was looking up to the wall the last 5 meters and stopped kicking. THAT was what lost him the race.

      The bald head releases more heat into the water decreasing its density and lowering resistance thus giving the bald swimmer the advantage. However it also attracts more jellyfish.

    Magnussen basically lost the race in the last 5 meters because that is when he:
    1. Raised his head up to look for the wall but increased body resistance by doing so.
    2. Pretty much stopped kicking.
    If he did only one of those things he would have still won. But he made two mistakes and it cost him gold.

    Adrian would go on to swim a faster leg in the final 4x100 medley relay event also. And beat him again in World Champs a year later. Basically, Maggie is a choker.

    That's what happened to Alain Bernard in the 4x100 free relay in 2008. He tightened up, and it's very possible he might have cramped a touch. I'm an American, just so you don't think I'm backing Alain or anything. I'm just saying that it CAN happen, even to the best.

    Magnussen got 47.10s without technical suits...probably he is fastest freestyler we've ever known. Unlucky to him at 2012 olympics.

    fair enough! when i saw it live (on tv) it did look like adrian won as he got into the finish much better

      Dude, it was by 1/100 of a second. But it was great.
