OMG, what a man. Handsome, tall, beautiful, fast... LEGEND. I'm just in love...
Popov, Borgues, Klim, Frolander, V.d Hoogenband...q final!!!
Александр великий!
The greatest swimmer that ever existed.
I saw a video about some Phelps guy. You should check him out.
Mark Wallace He’ll never make it.
Well said man
@@MarkEWallace It's kinda funny, Phelps might be the most successful swimmer but he certainly ain't the most admired, remembered or respected like the Russian rocket.
@@MrYoumitube Matter of opinion. No way to prove that.
A fine race and a really good field. Hoogenband, Frolander, Klim and Popov. I admired Popov and later Hoogenband. Australia always produces a good list of swimmers. And I consider the 100m freestyle the real blue ribbon even of swimming.
popov doesnt really like wearing caps.. hahahah... w/o dolphin kicks and suits to back him up he's indeed fast!.. wooohoo is popov the man ! ^^
The magical 49 barrier Wow how times have changed
Now its the 47 barrier😅
Попов великий👍
❤
Попов Русский Гений!!!
Попов легенда
what you said about technique and training methods is true, but humans have limits and the closer we get to those limits, the less improvement we will see
True but the prefect race is also impossible so it'll just be a matter of who can get the closest to it.
Technology changed tonnes from 1988 to 2004. So did training methods some time in early 2000's began what's now called "new age swimming" which focuses more on training for what you're racing whereas previous to that most swimmers just did 9-10km sets to swim a 200m race. The basic concept of their being 2 parts of swimming speed stroke length and stroke rate only 2 factors to how fast you swim was barely taken into consideration.
Where was Gary Hall ?
@clapeyron02 its back as you wish :)
Did anybody else noticed they screwed Scott Tucker and Chris Fiddler's names when they were showing each swimmer?
А тут дядя саша😂
experts thought biodi was approaching human limits because he was--bear with me--in that time period. the "universal" or "best" freestyle technique of that time was thought to be the best, and every technique has its limits. so this means to say biondi would not be able to go much faster using the technique he had. and i would not go as far as saying people will swim 43-44 in a few decades, as a few decades ago people were swimming 49. the at which people improve diminishes with improvement.
Doubt it. Swimming improvement has been so drastic cause it's a young sport. Look at the running world records. Improvement keeps getting slower and slower. The reason we've had a descent jump from 1990's is tighter togs, kickers on blocks (you probs don't swim so it's sort of like the blocks used by sprint runners), and training methods.
sorry, the **rate** at which people improve diminishes with improvement.
I wrote 47" not 46", can you read numbers? Also, when Biondi swam in 48.42 experts thought he was close to human limits. They were wrong as always... In a few decades swimmers will do 100m freestyle in 43' or 44'. Or even faster. Take it easy man, I'm sure mum thinks you're a good boy.
@markkochubey No he wouldn't, because they don't even compete in the same events.
Thant's too simplistic. Technique, training methods, technology, [doping] and life style can improve dramatically and performances with them. Look at the 100m dash world record progression: from 1983 to 2002 (19 years) it was lowered of 0.15", but from 2002 to 2009 ( a mere 7 years) it's gone down by 0.20".
Nearly as exciting as the 400m from the same meet.
Смотрите болельщики😂 фелпспа, обожравшегося допинга, торпа, и других, как надо плавать, тут великий саша😂
So what? In 10 years they most likely won't qualify for the world championships with 47". Are you laughing at todays swimmers who think that is a magic barrier?
