No we don't. Just as Paul Biederman wore a suit breaking this record, Thorpe is wearing a high tech suit here. When Thorpe made a come back in 2011 he didn't where his famous black suit. This is because it was banned like Bidermans suit now is.
Where'd he say that? I agree though, if he had of forced a last stroke instead of the glide he'd still have this WR. It's a real shame a literal nobody is the record holder.
This was amazing, but don't forget Thorpe was wearing a high tech suit here. This would be banned now. Just like the suit worn by paul Biederman when he broke this record.

We all know this should still be the world record.

@@bencrowe6454 You have no idea what you're talking about
@@camelot_crusader3024 Why would this be the world record ? Thorpe was using a super suit too.
Thorpe’s suit was “permeable”. Suits from 08-09 were either polyurethane coated or neoprene based. Big difference!
Long glide into the finish. One more stroke and he goes sub-3:40 and it'd be the longest-standing WR in swimming.
I think Thorpe himself has said that he should of gone under 3:40 here, but he didn't realize how fast he was going and didn't go all out the last 50.
he did in training.
His wall touch was long as well

Que gran nadador
es seco en estilo libre, pareciera que fuera volando sobre el agua.....un 7......
GOAT
Even though Thorpe is a GOAT at 200/400 free but them suits , nothing stuck to em at all .
Michael Phelps who ???
The best swimmer in the world, at multiple distances, and multiple strokes. That's who.
@@jimbendtsen8841 *sigh*
Thorpe, after career breakdown, alcoolism, coming out, so, WTF with records ?!
Thorpe without his magic suit wouldn't be nearly this fast.
Thorpe went 3:41 in a training suit
He has nothing without full body swimming suite.
I guess you haven't watched the 1999 Pan Pacs
You haven’t watched the 1998 World Championship final.
This was amazing, but don't forget Thorpe was wearing a high tech suit here. This would be banned now. Just like the suit worn by paul Biederman when he broke this record.
