Shows how much of a legend van den hoogenband is, only one to retain the 100 free title
Do you know Alexander The Great Popov ?
The Russian rocket swept 50m and 100m at 2 consecutive Olympics, 1992 and 1996. He was the only one who could do that.
@@lexsoft3969 ofcourse popov was the one who changed modern sprinting a legend of the sport a true icon
Hoogenband was the guy who denied Alexander Popov attempt to win gold in 100m for 3rd time.
My top 3 favorite sprinters of all time : Matt Biondi, Alexander Popov and Hoogenband.
@@lexsoft3969 Too bad Ian Thorpe was around when Hooganband was swimming.
I have just realized that Sando Condorelli was actually excellent. At Rio 2016, we can see he was leading until 85-90m, but was surpassed by Chalmers in the last 5m, then by Pieter Timmers and Nathan Adrian in the last stroke.
At Tokyo this month, he will only take part in 4x100m free relay for Italy. That relay will be exciting to watch too.
Gotta learn to swim straight, cost him gold there
Cameron McEvoy of Australia was actually the main favorite at Rio, as he set 47.04 at Trials, becoming the fastest from textile suit era, before Caeleb Dressel surpassed it at WC 2019. But he was really disappointing in the final.
Those Games were the beginning of the end for McEvoy. He had been unbeatable before that, but must have got his taper wrong. He never managed to get anywhere near the times again that he was swimming before Rio.
@@gustaaf1892 I wouldn't say unbeatable since Ning Zetao beat him in world champs 2015 where Mcevoy was also the favorite to win
Maky also choked in 2015. He always swims amazing at the beginning of the season and at trials but comes up short at actual meets
My name
The best Australians haven't had much luck. Sullivan goes WR in the semis in 2008 then loses out to Bernard, 2012 Magnussen gets beat by 0.01 by Adrian, although Chalmers got it done in 2016 as you said McEvoy messed up. Also bronze in 2004 with Thorpe (who I never actually realised did that well at 100 free)
Chalmers kick has to be one of the strongest out there, the splash is just always so big, especially in the closing 50m when he starts chasing everyone down
It's so brutal seeing Magnussen miss out by 0.01s in 2012, then in 2016 McEvoy's best time was 0.5s faster than the winner Chalmers but he didn't produce in the final. So brutal to see how small the differences are, on top of being in top physical and mental state, probably need some luck too
Same goes for Sullivan in 2008 when he swam his fastest time in the semi final only to miss out by a small fraction in the final.
The 1st 0.01 upset I have ever watched live on TV is in men's 100m butterfly at Seoul 1988, when the favorite Matt Biondi was beaten in the last stroke by Anthony Nesty of SURINAME.
He looked angry after that, probably to himself for the defeat.
@@lexsoft3969 I remember that well. It seemed to light a fire under Biondi after that loss. Biondi was the ordained and overwhelming favorite. Nesty was nowhere on his radar, from a tiny nation and had never done anything on the international stage. Perhaps it helped Biondi buckle down.
@@bry8636 Back then I didn't know who Nesty was, because internet didn't exist. But after finding from internet that he won gold at Pan American Games 1987, Biondi should have kept an eye on him. Some people said that Biondi made a mistake in his finishing : he decided to simply glide, instead of doing another stroke, or at least, glide with power dolphin kick. That can be seen on the video of the race.
But Nesty proved his victory was not a fluke, as he won gold at WC 1991.
@@lexsoft3969 Well, the top swimmers were going to pan pacs while the next best US swimmers went to Pan Ams. Pan Pacs was where the best and deepest comp was. And while Nesty wasn’t slow at the Pan Am games, he was almost a full second off his Olympic time.
I was a freshman at Bolles while Nesty was a Sr there, then again at UF.
We were all rooting for Ti, but he came from relative obscurity. When he set the National high school record for the 100 fly we were all stunned-and his trajectory went up from there.
His was a quick rise and Biondi didn’t see Nesty as his main competition as there were other swimmers who were swimming faster.
I agree completely that his olympic swim wasn’t a fluke. He won the Pan Pac games in 89 (not sure how Nesty entered the Pacific games), the Goodwill Games in 90, and then a bronze again in 92. So Nesty was certainly not a fluke
4:00-4:04 Alain Bernard looked relaxed; he seemed to have forgotten his loss in 4x100m free relay previously, and ready to put pressure on Eamon Sullivan.
Bernard looked like he was getting ready for a shot at the Mr Olympia title.
Alain Bernard broke the WR in the first semi final and Sullivan broke it again in the second semi final. Everyone knew it would be between these two.
4×100 relay was after 100 free race
@@user-ey8cj3xt2c No, men's 4x100 freestyle relay final took place in Aug 11, whereas men's 100 freestyle final in Aug 14, in that 2008 Olympic.
After having 2 gold favorites losing in the final (Sullivan and Magnussen), Chalmers made the change, passing light and coming back strong. Australia cannot swim in lane 4 in the final, wow.
Sullivan lead off in the 4x100 was amazing though...overshadowed by Jason Lezak pulling out a win. But look how far ahead AUS was after the 1st leg
Those times are just crazy🤯
These races are great viewing when it's with commentary
agree
Pieter is my HERO, thank you.
you're welcome
Chalmers will do again. His split in the 4x100 yesterday was crazy
No lmao, dressel gonna get the world record
Today, in semifinal he clocked 47.80. There are 5 sprinters faster than him in the semis. We will see tomorrow.
I predict he will fail to get to the podium with that result.
Hwang Sunwoo of Korea is ready to upset him too after clocking 47.56 today.
@@charltonsong2810 It's Dressel vs Kolesnikov that will make it happen.
Yeah, that didn’t age well
7:36 you can clearly see Magnussen pulling away from Nathan Adrian, and then in those last 10-15m Nathan Adrian regains the lead.
OMG thank you
...
Popovici: hold my underwear !
Verry verry nice video
popovici faster than chalmers in rio that's crazy
OMG
Popovici won’t even medal in Tokyo pressure will get to him
@@jackthrone5555 We will see. I like watching his long, low stroke rate used in sprint, just like watching Alexander Popov.
@@jackthrone5555 i’ll be back
@@jackthrone5555 i think his mindset is pretty strong, but it is going to be a exciting race for sure.
Congrats
Cant wait for this year. The fiercest race ever
Chalmers went 46.45 or something yesterday in the relay.
@@simonpaterson9720 and Lezak went 46.04 in the relay.
Relay times are always better because you can time your start. You can start 0.4-0.7s faster.
Australia should have dominated in recent times. Both Sullivan in 2008 and Magnussen in 2012 swam their best races in the semi final only to get beaten by an eyelash in the final before Chalmers finally brought home the gold in 2016. Those losses destroyed Sullivan and Magnussen mentally and they were only a shadow of their former selves after that.
Yeah... but what a rapid regeneration : Sullivan-Magnussen-McEvoy-Chalmers.
Who is next ? Currently I don't find potential candidates from Australia. We will see within the next 4 years.
@@lexsoft3969 look out Flynn southam
*Nathan Adrian is so freaking handsome! Look at his smile beginning at **8:45**. He looks like Bruce Lee here and it's like he is a Chinese or Asian-American. His smile got me.*
Kkkk
I forget that Dressel actually was in for the 100 in 2016. Only forget because it was his first that he made and his first final that he made. He’s coming for gold in all these events this time.
You can also say the same about Chalmers who was 18 in Rio - and he won the race!
insane olympics this yr
you were not wrong
3:23 Pieter wants everybody To Celebrate His Victory with Him using FORCE HaHaa😅😅😅
That was an amazing comeback. The excitement is justified. :-)
MASHAALLAH khub valo video.......
This time it's either child prodigy Popovchi or the beast Caeleb
Kolesnikov will win and Liukkonen will suprise.
@@valmettirakkori2563 no way kolesnikov gets the better of dressel, popovchi, or chalmers
@@valmettirakkori2563 Ari Liukkonen is not even in the top 200 list on fina ranking this year.
He will race in 50m free where he is currently in the top 8.
Popovici*
It’s popovici
تحياتي لك وللجميع✍️🙏✍️
Please please make a video for the great athlete marit bjoergen of norway
Popov and Hooge are the Best!!!!
Popov was better : 50m and 100m in two consecutive Olympics, 1992 and 1996. Nobody had ever done that, except him. I don't think even Caeleb Dressel could do so.
But I agree, both are legends.
@@lexsoft3969 you'll se that Popovici will do it
@@calinflorintodut9774 Popovici is not a 50 swimmer
Chalmers, 7th at the 50, 1st at the 100. what a swim
And here comes David Popovici! The new world champion, the fastest swimmer in the history on 100m freestyle!
Nice
Great 😺
People say popovici or dressel but they greatly forget about kliment Koleshnikov... all i know is that there will be a lot of low 47’s this year... most anticipated 100 freestyle race ever in my opinion
Top 5 : Dressel, Kyle Chalmers, Popovici, Kolesnikov and Alessandro Miressi. The water won't be clean for Popovici to race in the way he wants like in Junior WC : pressure...pressure from elite sprinters.
@@lexsoft3969 2024 is popovici year
@@dragos9134 ai văzut ce a făcut băiatul la mondiale…popovici is a beast😮
@@Adrian-qu2mp Da
@@Adrian-qu2mp fără Dressel, Chalmers și rusul ăla. Tu ce dracu citești aici? Mondialele alea nu au nicio valoare din moment ce primii 3 înotători au lipsit

Phillips : Hold the beer 🍻
I want to ask you, can you make live streams of swim races please ( especially of all the heats and semifinals)? Because i want to watch swimmers in the races before the finals, i can watch only finals on the TV. I will be very thankful if you help🙏🏊♂️🔥
in a few weeks dressel will be the next person to be part of this
Popovici?
At least 5 names to watch :
Dressel, Kyle Chalmers, David Popovici, Kliment Kolesnikov and Alessandro Miressi.
My eyes is also on Hwang Sun Woo, Korean teenager to see his progress.
@@lexsoft3969 peaty?
@@juicetin_20 This video is about men's 100m freestyle. So I am talking about current elite freestyle sprinters.
Adam Peatty is the Lion of 100m breaststroke.
@@lexsoft3969 my bad sorry didnt see the title
Who else noticed that all the medals are awarded by Pound? Does he have such a tradition - to award medals in this particular discipline?
caeleb dressel is gonna stop the clock at 10 seconds for the 100
The next: Popovici
Would love that but I think maybe the Olympics comes just that little bit too soon for Popovici to beat Dressel.
@@XDF745 its ok, he beat him at the internationals in Budapest
@@mirunahodo4573 Not exactly how I hoped to see it play out.
@@XDF745 well, i think he has all life ahead to become world champion. He is only 17 and he has a very strong mentality alreday.
@@mirunahodo4573 Yes, I hope to see him dominate the 100/200 free in the future.
Next: Dressel or charmels
David Popovici, Kliment Kolesnikov and Alessandro Miressi are ready to give them a fierce competition.
I think Chalmers will have to make up too much ground over the 2nd 50 to be able to win. I think the winning time will be under 47.15 and I just can't see him do that.
All winners except Hoogenband in Sydney are placed in lane 5!
So was Dressel now.
In swimming the top time in the semifinal gets lane 4 in the final, and the second best time gets lane 5, then lane 3, then 6, and so on until you reach the outer lanes. Middle lanes are better for a couple of reasons but mainly because you can see your main competition on both sides. The outer lanes aren't so great because you can't really see across the pool and you sometimes have to deal with waves bouncing off the wall. But usually in big competition the pools are better and that problem doesn't exist.
The best swimmers without abnormal limbs that give them an advantage come from South Africa.
what's abnormal in your book?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
To all those doubting Popovici can perform at the Olympics - he swam at Euros this year (I'm not talking about Euro Juniprs which came later and where he set his outlandish PB) against much of the top competition he'll face in Tokyo, and set a PB.
There won't be any pressure of being the favorite (he's not) and the atmosphere in the natatorium will be different than in the past due to no spectators being present.
I think he's going to be a threat. The way he swims is very similar to Chalmers in 2016, a fast second 50 riding on the waves of your competitors works. It's how Chalmers won gold and set his PB against Dressel though he wasn't able to overtake him. Don't count him out just yet.
Better luck next time. I'm looking forward to seeing more from him this year.
👍👍👍
Imagine Hoogenband with Dressel's starts and turns..
+Chalmers' last 50m
Chalmers went around 46.45 today and i asked my son. Who is the favourite Chalmers or Caeleb Dressel, and my son looked it up and said Dressel is paying 1.12 and Chalmers is paying around $4.00. I said Quickly put $200 on Chalmers for the 100 meters as Dressel swum the relay at 47. something. Might be different at the race but Chalmers is a weapon and looking great, and he has that relaxed attitude.
Can't wait for the mens 100 meters. Oh and just as i said for my son to throw on $200 the betting markets closed and Chalmers had the shorter odds.
Have you seen the results of the semifinal today ?
@@lexsoft3969 Sure did, chalmers coach told him to take it easy as he didn't think his shoulder had to many more 46.4 in it.
Yikes, maybe you shouldn’t bet against the Americans next time
Thank goodness they finished with the Australian anthem
And then came along CALEB DRESSEL at TOKYO 2020!!!
I guess Lane 5 always wins xD
Some times 4 as well.
What about this year now? 😏😉

100 m 200 m 300 m 400 m of swimming and I'm ready for all of it 🥇🏊
No such thing as 300m swim event
300m 😐
🇬🇷❤️
Where is the greatest swimmer of all times Aleksander Popov ?
Dressel is going to win this year
Now dresel the king
This is a joke, they do not have the world record holder for a decade in 100 m free!
We will see at Tokyo where a thrilling competition may result in a new WR. I expect Caeleb Dressel to do it. But if the teenager David Popovici does it, I wouldn't mind, because he has great potential.
@@lexsoft3969 You predicted the future my friend.
This is kind of a cheesy thing that I’m going to say. But I have a crush on Pieter van den Hoogenband. Ok, he’s cute looking
👍👍👍👍
so...the australian favourites flopped in two consecutive games.
You could say that- but we won the next one! :)
Eamon Sullivan was not the single favorite, since Alain Bernard was actually number 1 seed going into the Olympic as the WR holder. But then both broke WR a couple of times at the Olympic. It was a tight competition between the two that I was not sure then who would win.
Whereas at 2012, James Magnussen was the main favorite, but was upset by Nathan Adrian.
@@garrywallace1007 It is still open among the following names : The Florida Gator, Kyle Chalmers, Kliment Kolesnikov and the Romanian teenager David Popovici. Alessandro Miressi wants to join the party too.
Actually three consecutive Games, because McEvoy was the strong favourite going into Rio. Chalmers was the surprise winner to make up for it.
Winner is 5 lane
Hoggie is The Best
omg
Who chose that terrible background music
Where is Ian Thorpe 😭😭
He was a specialist in 200m and 400m, not 100.
Gold medal goes to lane no 5
terrible music choice,
Horrible
Its rigged. Lane 5 won Gold every time
Lane 4 won in the first race
Попов легенда,остальное фуфел
Looking forward to what the russian boys will achieve in Tokyo)))
The Russians aren’t competing as a country - banned for systemic coping until 2022.
@@donna25871 they are still competing but not representing russia but rather the russian olympic comittee so you can still see kolesnikov destroy the field ;)
tight
@@donna25871 I am Russian and perfectly aware but that does not change the fact that they will be there and everyone knows their nationality, especially when we will hear Tchaikovsky music being played after they win. That no one can take away from us.
Nobody cares about them cheaters
I wish there were more black swimmers in the olympic games. 2021 and we still don't see equality in this sport.
Whilst I agree the lack of black swimmers in the sport is disappointing it's nothing to do with discrimination at the Olympic level it's down to how expensive it is to become a high level swimmer and also the lack of facilities in neighbourhoods primarily inhabited by POC's
They have to be fast enough to qualify
it's nothing about skin color or equality, it's all about talent & skills. We could say the same about sprint's events in athletics.
it’s not about what race people are, it’s about how hard they worked to get to the top at their event. has nothing to do with equality
It has nothing to do with discrimination, why? because black athletes are dominating other olympic sports.
2024 PAN 🥇 ，Popovici 🥈 ，Chalmers 🥉
