Men's 100m Breaststroke - Heats | London 2012 Olympics

Highlights of the Men's 100m Breaststroke Heats during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
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.

I’m sorry, Kosuke Kitajima. Alexander Dale Oen should have never died.

[@calebl1004]

11:33 that was easily two kicks before his pullout

[@joshuafinkel2950]

the referees can't see, so he doesn't get disqualified

[@zhao4113]

But the cameras can.....

[@ericji7226]

@@zhao4113 the rule is that cameras can only be used for verification of a call. You can only get disqualified if an official on deck calls you for it, and the cameras will verify whether or not you got dqed.

@@bobsebolaobama4946 comment from 3 years ago...
But anyway, at the very very beginning he does a dolphin kick, like as soon as he jumps in, it's very difficult to see because of the splash but he definitely does 2 kicks

[@SamuelLiu01]
