The USA's team of Missy Franklin, Rebecca Soni, Dana Vollmer and Allison Schmitt break the world record to win gold in the women's 4x100m medley in the Aquatics Centre at the London 2012 Olympic Games (4 August).
Australia won silver in the event with Japan 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.

The USA team here is just stacked with talent. Franklin leads off in WR time. It was over when gun went off.
Yeah ,all 4 girls are the best in the world in their style.Who can beat them
barracuda7018 Allison Schmitt its not even close to be the best in free style. ranomi the holland its the best
Paula Severeyn Ranomi has the best individual 100m free time but Netherlands touched the wall in 6th and that's what matters. Ranomi made up one spot on her leg.
quadbravo i think you need to see 4x100 free and look how she beats allison
Paula Severeyn Yes, Ranomi is better than Allison, but it doesn't matter in case of relay ;-)
Those 2012 US medley relay teams were ridiculous. This women's team had two gold medalists in the individual 100m events and a silver medalist (plus Allison Schmidt, who didn't swim the individual 100m but won the 200m by like three seconds). Somehow the men's team was even better with three individual 100m gold medalists and an individual bronze.
The USA is always fairly strong, but I think it'll be decades before we see a team as good as that one.
The 2016 medley relay had two gold medalists, one silver, and a bronze.
Paul Thomas I mean to have 3 world record holders and an Olympic record holder... I don’t think we will see a team like this for awhile
@@carsonkien8141 The only world record holder for 100m races in this relay was Dana Volmer. Though yes, Missy and Sony are world record holders in the 200m of their best stroke, but this isn't a 200m, this is 4×100m race
Nina Welch fair enough
Coming here after 2019 and...well, I’ll just say that the USA women’s medley relay in Gwangju was even better than this one.
Dana, the butterfly swimmer, is flipping insane. She managed to get a body length ahead of wr although when she jumped in she was behind wr pace
😓😁
I agree. Vollmer was the secret ingredient. The nicest 100 fly I've ever seen on the women's side.
Dana may well be the most important relay swimmer in U.S. history. So versatile and so fast at everything.
After watching this I'm like "Why am I so slow?"
Luna Greer lmao same
Mood
U watch soffie dossi
Luna Greer same
I know 😭
USA and Australia always dominate in swimming.
yes
For some reason, USA not so much in the last two Paralympics we've watched - Australia had done great back in 2012 in particular and Ukraine and China seem to have roared into this event and dominated a lot - and GB have done very well, too.
Australia has had two straight bad Olympics in swimming first in London then in Rio.
dsfddsgh Not really. We didn’t flop, not as great as we could have done but we did decent.
Must’ve missed the world championships
I can almost smell the chlorine :):)
Evelyn Thrasher i also
Evelyn Thrasher smells so good
i'm not an american but i feel so proud of the girl especially for missy franklin
franklin is the youngest but the tallest and soni is the eldest but the shortest between them
fighting USA team for the next race
Missy franklin is the female phelps 🏅🏆
Missy was very gracious when she retired due to untreatable shoulder problems.
@@yunalouv she unfortunately retired ages ago and won’t be able to get any more medals. But she is pregnant now so that’s good news for her
Franklin - 58:50. Soni - 1:04:88. Vollmer - 55:48. Schmitt - 53:25.
Rhyyys Sharrrp smith-57/56(?) king- 1:03 high dahlia- 56 low manuel- 52
that’s my guess for tokyo
@@carsonkien8141 dahlia is regressing, might not even be in the relay final in tokyo
TheDevious yea depending on how the other backstroker does, we could have smith going fly
@@cooldumpy7913 well you were right. Torri huske is the new flyer for the us
@@carsonkien8141hi im from future jacoby son 100 breast w 1:04 and Manuel didnt made the 100 freestyle
A real all-star team for the USA, breaking the world record in an Olympic gold medal performance, the swim of a lifetime !
Alison Schmitt is an outstanding swimmer, takes your breath away watching her swim
USA had an impressive All-Star Team with Franklin, Soni, Vollmer, and Schmitt. Anyone can win in the pool, but this time the USA women really kicked some serious a33!
So much talk of domination in swimming. Yea the US wins dozens of swimming medals, but its not like we set a new world record at each Olympics......oh wait
Josh Miller
LOL
Yes
We got a total of 12 gold medals in lane 6. You go, girls.
2012 had to be the best Olympics ever. Records were broken all over
The 2012 Olympic was the best to date in all disciplines for USA even in Tracy and field . Amazing!
well, im watching this two years after they uploaded this. cant wait for 2016 :)
PerspectiveSeeker 2019 now :)
@@abigailortiz3855 2021 now
Thats how you do it USA
Can't wait until 2016 just one more year

Ikr
IM WAITING FOR TOKYO 2020!!!! 😊😊

I'm kinda in love with Dana Vollmer's fly, outfuckingstanding advantage she got there
in the US women team in this event are the goddess in all strokes....
Diggity.

Stop.

At 66 y/o, & having vivid memories of both Summer / Winter Olympics over the years, as much as I loved watching our Ladies compete & win,. it is even more gratifying knowing that these swimmers, as with the lady sprinters, ARE CLEAN ! No steroids, GH, or other short cuts taken. When you look at , listen to, & see them compete, we are watching women--REAL women, & that to me, is just so gratifying. Well done American women, you did us proud!! Wolfsky9, 66 y/o now.
@Wolfsky9 Love your comments!!!
2021 reliving these 2012 Olympic classics.
I really do admire the women's swim team in london. They were just such a great team. Congratulations to all of them.
Our women made us so proud !! Wolfsky9
it doesn't matter what year this was swam, recorded, and posted,they still have really good quality videos
There have been 97 Olympic swimming relays. Team USA has 69 golds and 92 total medals. Australia has a very impressive 12 golds and 44 total medals. I'm including 1912 when AUS +NZ competed as a unified team.
David Weaver
The Americans dominate in swimming for sure
Franklin went 58.50
Soni went 1:04.82
Vollmer went 55.48
Schmitt went 53.25
still watching this 5 years later!!
Dave Fitzgerald Oh yeah, Dec 2017 and still watching!
Oct 2018 and it is still amazing....in Texas...
Jun 2019 still watching!:)
Dec 2019, still watching!
September 2020
They are just amazing...
As an American and Japanese person, the results of the race made me so proud !!!!
Just shows how talented she is. Most swimmers are very tall. Ms. Soni is not that tall for a swimmer. She just works so hard!! I love her! You can see Soni(team captain) giving pep talks on the blocks before the race starts.
They are all amazing!
2012 Dana Vollmer was on another level at butterfly.
What a girls so fast from Team USA
Every one knows we could take any other country in swimming usa usa usa usa usa go usa.
Soni went 1:04.88, Vollmer went 55.48 and Schmitty went 53.25. You go girls.
congratulations The USA Team.
I go to swimming and butterfly is hard i don't know how USA is sooo good!!! THEY SWIM 2 MILES CRAZY!!!!!!!!
t
Rebecca Soni, and Michael Phelps
Are my Olympic heroes
Watching this now------so many years later, it's still a rush watching these 4 fantastic ladies set a world record ! -----------USA !! --------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o Now.
Love these commentators vs Rowdy and Dan!
I agree, but there’s something so endearing about Rowdy’s sheer love of the sport.
Great call Bruce
lovely, mighty good specially missy and all US swimmers . Love You All US SWIMMERS
I think injuries prevented Franklin from possibly being one of the very best swimmers ever. She was sublime at the 2012 Olympics.
facts and she was so young she had a great career ahead
As soon as swimming events start, then I know we have an Olympics
Go, go, Team USA 🇺🇸 Swimming 🏊♀️ and go!
The 4 amazing US athletes put their best effort to dominating the whole world! What a Great memory!
Outstanding...excellent swimming
missy franklin is the best swimmer.=D
The best!!
I can’t wait to see Simone biles and Katie Ledecky at the gymnastics events and swimming events at the 2024 summer Olympic Games in Paris France 🇫🇷
USA team ...love u always to watch { men and women}. I can watch u again and again.
Dana Vollmer is simply stunning!!!
Revisiting this 10 Apr '18
Revisiting this 30 Oct '21
Team America! Whoo, We always pull out for a gold finish.
Dream Team!
Yea
Dana Vollmer OP. Hopefully she'll be able to get back into the form she had here sometime soon
increible
I love to watch the olympics especially cause I’m a swimmer but I’m from the Bahamas and there have not been that many swimmers from the Bahamas to swim at the Olympics and there has never been relay team for the Bahamas
The race was done when the buzzer went off. We drew lane 6 this time. Schmitty might've gotten a warning that the wall was coming from her crew chief, James Stevens.
Dana Vollmer is a beast!!
Love Michael.
Vollmer got a little briefing from her crew chief, Deric Kramer and he sent her to the lead in lane 6.
missy franklin i love you, you´re the best
Epic swim from team USA, solid team, Aussies couldn't compete this time as they did in Beijing 2008
Galing
i have swimming since 6yrs old so glad now i am a lifeguard
Getting ready for state!!!! USA!!!!!
"They don't swim on peper, do they?" >> great quip from the commentator.
I don't know if it has ever been done before, but I would like to see a mixed relay. Two men and two women from each country.
Missy Franklin was cheered on in lane 6 by crew chief Ryan Frerichs from Wayne, Nebraska.
USA team it’s fantastic
From my experience, its hard to do both gymnastics and swimming. How do you manage it?
very nice
She's 18 ( missy Franklin ) and look how amazing she is
it's normal. most of breaststrokers are shorter than freestylers or backstrokers.
Kosuke Kitajima- 4 olympic gold medals in 100-200m men's breaststroke is 1m78, Cameron Van Der burgh or Branden Hansen, other famous breaststrokers, are 1m84 while Phelps 1m93,Adrian 1m98,Magnussen 1m95,Agnel 2m02, Grevers 2m03 who are freestylers or backstrokers:D
I'm pretty new into swimming but it's still nice to see Denmark competing in the finals. It's a bit sad to see how far we got behind though, but it comes as no surprise to me that countries like USA, Australia and Japan took the lead! That was some astounding and absolutely beautiful swimming!!
I thought GB would've done better though..
I'm guessing you decided to swim because of free! 😏
Pfff, I have no idea why you would think that!.. >.>'
AwesomeAMVs hehe lol
Rebecca Soni was cheered on by her crew chief, Kyle Wurtzel from Warsaw, Indiana.
I hope I can get into the Olympics 2016 :) for swimming
Soni was cheered on by her crew chief, Ashley Sanford in lane 6. "Come on, you got this !" cheered Sanford.
😍 swim relaaaay
We drew lane 6 this time. I ran in lane 6 and was last in that particular lane.
wow!
wowwwwww i love swimm
Go great Britain
LMAO.
Till the world comes to an end, as far as Olympics is concerned, team USA will be ahead on both fronts. Super team, record breakers
Юля Ефимова - машина!!💪
USA and Australia always dominate
missy franklin i love you you are the best for me
Funny how the cameras liked to zero in on Seebohm in the backstroke races when Franklin was the one who always emerged champion
Soni looks like she's got a turbo in lane 6. Her crew chief, Sean Belt, called her "Turbo Up"
Wow 🤘
Love USA but was rooting a bit for GB... (Siobhan-Marie: my name is Siobhan)
surprised u.s was in lane 6.
That's because of their heart swim/swimmers. U.S used Bootsma, Larson, Donahue and Hardy
John Smith Ah. Wait who?
Their B-Team should I say
Backstroke-Rachel Bootsma
Breaststroke-Breeja Larson
Butterfly-Claire Donahue
Freestyle-Jessica Hardy
John Smith Why?
Don't know they always do that as the men do also. At these games the men did Back- Nick Thoman
Breast - Eric Shantaeu
Fly - Tyler McGill
Free - Cullen Jones. While in the final they went
Back - Matt Grevers
Breast - Brendan Hansen
Fly - Michael Phelps
Free - Nathan Adrian
Dana Vollmer is the Allyson Felix of women's swimming----------THE Guarantee ! -----------She always dominates in the Fly----------------------WolfSky9, 74 y/o
Congrats USA
THAT'S how you do it! USA! USA! USA!
My neck crammed from watching.
I think Missy Franklin, Rebecca Soni, Dana Vollmer and Allison Schmitt are great for Jean Nate after bath splash commercials.
Lol where you at Britain?
