Highlights from the Men's 100m Swimming Freestyle 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.

It is quite interesting to see all of the heats at the Olympics, you never get to see that on television.
The only thing i hate about swimming videos is the comment section...
"I'm 4 and i swim 8.52 seconds 500m butterfly"
+MrWebon YES!!!!!!!!
+MrWebon im 4 i run 10s in 100 butterfly
+MrWebon Pff... i'm 2 and i do it in 7.89
Lukas Q Yeah... freestyle doesn't count, also we all know that 7.92 is the world record for a 1 year old. I'm talking about butterfly.
You guys are joking right
These commentators are so good to the slower sprinters, pointing out where they can improve and what they're doing well. As opposed to Eric Mousambani where the commentators where incredibly disrespectful.
Four years later, Timmers will be silver medalist.
"Looked like Usain Bolt when he walked in" 😂😂😂
Commentator repeatedly mistaking Maldives for Moldova on the first heat, oh dear...😂
Was a bit confused when he said Africa vs Europe😂
9:29 KEBBAB
LOL It's Maldives not Moldova
Kuba Krupinski It was also Guatemala not Guam...suppose you can't really blame him for not knowing every single country :/
Loooool a black guy from Moldova hahaha
@@FatherOf0fucks I mean there are some
First heat was beautiful 😃
looks like they are excellent swimmers
Why so many London vids? Is this change based in the UK?
Why do they have to way a couple of seconds after the beep before starting the race? Enlighten me please...
+Duc Huy Ly They dive in at the buzzer. The audio's out of sync with the video a little. You can tell because you hear the splash from them diving in before you see it in the video.

@CoDWiiPS3Gameplay you are soooo right. I was furious on how the crowd and commentators where behaving. It was a real disgrace seeing how ignorant people are
He confused the Maldives with Moldova, Guatemala with Guam, and the USVI with BVI.
i know,right:)))
What an idiot
mld is not moldova but Maldives.
Man I actually think I can join the Olympics
I know, right
Mee too my time in 100 free is 59 lol
Tristan Verheecke these men are from small countries that have less than 10 pools in their whole nation
oh...
thinking about getting Mali citizenship and race for RIO2016
you should if you have the chance to. what are your best times
LOL no i do not live there
+Will Knight Oh you were joking
1st heat how is that Olympian time
They're the smaller countries who don't have training like US, China, Russia, etc.
Harrison Andrews yeah those countries don't have much competetors
in 1st i can catch up the 4th
Damn if you put your screen to 240p it seems like there wearing full body suits
what does "heats" mean?
+Hoang Anh Nguyen Heats are each qualification race. There are many heats as there are more athletes at that stage than there are lanes in the pool.
There a re a lot of swimmers to begin with, so there are many heats before, like, the final day. So basically, people are gradually eliminated.
But why do they use 8 lanes? there are 10 lanes
Heats = Preliminaries = Qualification round.
Didier van Leewen The lanes from the sides have too much drag cause of the waves and the walls, so they don't use them
chetcuti is pronounced cat coot ee
I scared of swimming because I breath with my mouth😢😰
+steps forward and they breath with what ? gills?
U never know what happens under water 😤
steps forward ahah what ? you can literally see their mouths
I don't know much about this

I'm 15 and have a faster time in my 100m😂
Dillon Hooker lol i'm 17 and i'm faster in Breastestroke lol (1.04.01)
guigui dm i went 55.71 at nationals :) im 18
+guigui dm for sure you are not a grammar king!
Sorry i'm not english
+guigui dm bullshit, you don't have to be from England neither from the U.S in order to write proper English!
how come the first heat had 4 swimmers?
something to do with qualifing times arranged in groups
They only had a certain amount of swimmers in the event, it’s almost never perfectly full and those 4 were the outsiders
My national record is 49.22
Hearing these commentators butcher Caribbean island mames is frustrating... it's pronounced GREN-AID-A
The first heat is just pathetic. The Olympic standard time of 2012 is 50.03. Those that have a time of 51.5s are denied entry while those who have 57s are in.
I did mostly 50m but for 100m i did sub-50s when I was 18 and qualified for the us open. so all the "i'm xx yrs old and did ___" - i was faster than all of you and still peaked without reaching the top.
sorry, you're not all that exceptional. there is a physical limit in the end.
Im 13 and go 56 for 100 free
no one asked
Im 13 and i have a faster 100 free
congratulations, we officialy dont care!
none of us asked
Yall are mean
Mans is 19 now. He's probably faster than yall
