Cavic is now retired..but was a great butterflier and freestyler. Probably the most famous second place Olympic swimmer in history.
Honestly, I feel like people don't give Cavic enough credit for how fast he swims.
Denis Pankratov reinvented fly with his stroke. He took Mel Stewart's beautiful fly and made it faster tempo. I still use his videos to teach people how fast one can really turn over in fly.
There is no secret that Mike works very hard. His high elbow pull, strong legs, low driving breath and most of all hard work contributes to his success.
You can also use a drill of doing fly with flutter kick to force an early catch, higher stroke rate and avoid the outsweep. Make sure the hands enter the water at the shoulder level and not any closer.
These videos just make me want to go out an swim! :)
Very Good!!!
Thanks!
For butterfly, much of it is in the legs. Cavic and Phelps both have very fast kicks...and they work both the downkick and the upkick. No rest.
Thanks! So bad there are too few videos (with bad quality) of Pankratov at youtube!! His fly was realy amazing!! Every part of his body works in such a perfect rithmic!! And his lateral breathing looks so natural... something many tried to copy but couldn't...
Yes, in Islamorada, the Florida Keys.
MIke Bottom, now head coach of the U of MIchigan mens' and womens' teams. Then he was head coach of The Race Club.
Thanks...great technique. High elbow pull...low drag.
Cavic was born and trained in the USA. He attended school and university all in the US. He is very American himself and the only reason he chose to swim for Serbia is because his dad was born their and he obviously would be the best swimmer their
Cavic you're the besttttt
We agree!
that shoulder driven weighted fly drill is really interesting
seems like it eliminates a bad outsweep
Nice video, thanks for sharing this :)
MIke is probably the fastest butterflyer on the planet. His underwater pull is superb. His streamline might be better, but what I don't like is that he breathes every other stroke and doesn't relax as much as Phelps on the recovery. It costs him in the end..and the last 10 meters of the 100 fly are the most important ones.
There is no doubt that Phelps is the greatest thing the sport of swimming has ever witnessed, awe-inspiring in his medals and records, but that does not mean that no one else deserves to beat him. A lot of you people claim how Cavic isn't as dedicated or hard-working, but in all honesty, none of you probably know anything about the guy to make those statements. He gave Phelps a run for his money like no one has before, and that's that. Had he won, he would have deserved it
It is very good!
Pankratov turned over faster than any other flyer I have seen. Cavic uses a more conventional front breathing techique but stays very low in the water. Pulls a little shallower and wider than Phelps. Cavic is the fastest flyer ...but with the every other breath pattern, has trouble in the last 10 to 15 meters.
Cavic and Pankratov are my favourite fly styles.
i definitely want to try that lifting workout on the ball
Work your legs! Work your legs! work your legs. You have the opportunity to make four kicks per stroke cycle in fly; two up and two down. Most swimmers don't use all four..but the good ones do.
great video!
+Brian g civic nd phelps had a rivalry, theirs nothing wrong with that, they had 2 close races, one the phelps beat civic by a hundredth because cavic lifted his head up, and the other were they both had good sub 50 races, but phelps came out on top, stop talking trash about civic.
Was one of them Guy Barnea? I think I heard his name being called out.
I'm 15, and i love swim butterfly... I do not swim bad but my legs are not continuous, why?
Cavic swim very well, but what is his secret?
cavic looks like superman when he swims
He did swim like superman in the water, indeed.
Great soundtrack. Someone got url?
didnt he swim for tustin in orange county in LA?
thanks
Would have been nice if they had tied. Cavic looked up at the wall at the finish..and that is what cost him the gold.
Graet guys: Milorad Cavic and James Guy
Yes he is!
It's not a matter of faking, its purely the timing at the end that cost him that medal. That being said, he still managed a VERY close silver at the Olympic Games (swimming), something that Serbia has not seen in a long time. So be proud of him and his accomplishment, don't go around blaming the world for rigging it.
As for the anti-serbs, stop your "fact-less" hate and brainwashed way of thinking; you comment against Cavic just so you can get a chance to try and offend some Serbians
"have you been playing mario kart on super nintendo?" xDDDD
What is the name of the coach at 1.25?
mike Bottom
2:45 same mistake here... Cavic is a great athlete but if you train wrong you compete wrong
If he had kept his head down at the finish, would have been gold, not silver.
Good...so go swim!
Do you actually prefer swimmers to breath on every stroke in a 100 fly?
casperyeah1 dont try to bee so smart, cavic has the third time on 100 fly but the second on 50 with the time he swam on the Lc Europian championchip, when he was punished for 100 fly if you remebmer
I used to be able to swim a mile butterfly continuously.
That is something! I could never do that....and I medaled in the 100 and 200 meter fly in the Olympic Games. Gary
Cavic,the only man who beats Michael Phelps.
Lol 😂
He looks like a beluga whale doing butterfly
Yes but no
If a car is designed in america and manufactured in america but then is driven in Spain, it is still an American car. IF cavic had trained in serbia and was a product of the serbian swimming program then you could say that. but he didn't.
Looks like the guy in first lane does a better body dolphin than Cavic. Cavic's hips barely come above water surface. But he is much stronger than the other two.
Meters.
His body position is completely flat getting in the water, with no inward sweep... very interesting but maybe better for 50m than for 100m
Sadly, a lot of this is due to the fact that the media has intertwined so much bias into your opinions that it is impossible to untangle at this point. Just keep in mind there are two sides to every story, and just because you know one does not mean you understand the big picture. Unfortunately, the side one hears first generally stays with them for a long time. Which also brings me to the point on "Phelps is God, Cavic does not deserve anything"
Tako je reci im bre ko je SRBIN
cavic beath phelps in the finals too, but becouse he touchet the electronic sistem so slow it didn't showed his real time of swimming
His style aint bad..hell it works for hi almost beatin phelps!!
@ViniBsb1973
yeah, but Cavic beat phelps in the finals also :P
ask Omega ;)
phelps is sponsored by omega.
that's called conflict of interest mate.
go read a book
i'm faster than him, my name is michael
Phelps is the man repeatedly showing CaBitch that he can't beat him... PHELPS swimming sub 50 and shitting all over CaBithces face who talked shit all week long and it blew up in his own face... Michael Phelps is the greatest swimmer in history...FACT!!!! and nothing can dispute it.
+Brian G Cavic also swim sub 50 btw
Haha, cavic you are the best without "help", in your conscience there is tranquility and you must be satisfied that without drugs you won the American cheater.
BWAHAHAHAHA you are so butt hurt...for your to think that Phelps cheated is beyond all forms of comprehension...he was NEVER caught doing anything illegal.. as a matter of fact, when Phelps beat him in 08 in Beijing and again in Rome 09 worlds, CABITCH was wearing the illegal ARENA suit and STILL couldn't beat Phelps...twice cabitch tried and twice he failed and Phelps leaves swimming the greatest Olympic athlete of all time :)
The company of timing omega declared and said that cavic I play first and phelps later but stronger so I was active first, I was taught who touches first win, it is merito for the Serbian for many reasons, besides his country went through a war conflict And political and yet he won. Merito cavic he won.
or, get a pair of glasses.
Ok honestly i don't understand this crap that goes on EVERY time a cavic/phelps 100 fly video is put up. I am myself Serbian living in Canada, and a competitive swimmer as well. Im tired of two things on youtube:
1. Serbians and their conspiracy theory
2. Anti-Serbians and their "Cavic doesn't deserve anything" theory
Let's get some things straight. Omega did NOT fake the time for God's sake! The race was obviously close, and i can tell you as a swimmer ive seen plenty like this one...
yep. competitive swimmers get it
dude stay in you make believe world haha .Though respect for CAVIC. but phelps is what he can never be.
"serbia"
born and raised in Cali...
Many Americans are of different nationalities that's why we are called the melting pot of the world. People born here are usually proud to represent the country but not trying to say they don't respect whatever their heritage may be. Missy Franklins' parents are from Canada. She was born here, and wanted to represent USA out of pride.
