Mary Wayte (Bradburne) is a neighbor now and is a wonderful, warm person... you have to draw it out of her that she was not only in the Olympics but won 2 gold medals. Lovely person. Congrats, Mary!
Her family was very close to our family on Mercer Island. I have 8mm video of her with my lil brother back in the day as her sister was his babysitter. She swam with me for a few years and her dad Mike and my dad were great friends. I was so excited to see her win this race..
As a kid swimmer, I just remember thinking how cool it was that somebody from the Seattle area was an Olympic Gold Medalist. Mary also swam great in Seoul four years later. Just awesome. Enjoyed her commentary during the Barcelona '92 Games as well.
Very cool Jim Lampley, a nice change from calling boxing matches. Remember that young broadcasters. Get out of your comfort zone. I E and he'll tell you ( Al Michaels ) his most memorable call is 1980 USA ice hockey. "Do you believe in miracles!" NFL play-by-play zenith.
I was happy that Sippy Woodhead finally won a medal, but I was hoping it would have been gold. Also, it sucks that the 4x200 relay wasn't on the women's schedule at that time. With Wayte and Woodhead they would have dominated.
Swimming has come a long way since then. Here, we see women breathing every 3 to 4 strokes on a 200 free. All that hypoxic stuff was enormously popular with coaches. Virtually no one does this anymore. Even if it may be faster with respect to resistance not to breathe, oxygen is too important not to learn to breathe efficiently EVERY stroke.
Matthew Moon today we see a variation of patterns. Nowadays a swimmer racing on a 100 or 200m may start with 5x1, keep on 4x1, 2x1 before and after flips, etc.
Hybridswimmer yes I was 1992 look it up!! My first name is Lawrence but I go by my middle name Keith . You can check my Wikipedia page if you like too?
I took my girl friend at the time to see this. I was station in San Diego and she was going to university. I would go out to sea and when I got back I would sneak into her last class and sit in the back and just watch her until I got busted buy the professor.
1984, The US absolute DESTROYED swimming at the Olympics. 21 Gold, 13 Silver - 34 total medals. Canada was second with 4 gold, 3 silver, 3 bronze - 10 medals total.
Dans cette vidéo, on peut remarquer l'avance des nageuses est-allemandes en natation. Elles n'étaient pas présentes en 1984 mais depuis plus de 10 ans, nombreuses d'entre-elles nageaient en 2 temps alors que les autres en 3 ou 4 temps. Et aujourd'hui, on nage en 2 temps ; quelle supériorité de la DDR à cette époque.
Such typical single-focus American commentary. We still didn’t find out who came third at the end of the video. USA 1-2 was all that mattered. Disgraceful, and it still occurs 36 years later.

2020 April, TH-cam decided I needed this among all Covid-19 updates. They were right. I mean why not
35 Years ago yesterday, I was there... I love you Mare. I remember Mike shouting "COME ON GRANDMA" from across the stadium. So proud

They were neighbors of ours on Mercer Island I remember watching this on tv and yelling go Mary. Our families spent time together back in the day..

I agree Matt which is why I breathed every stroke in the mile when I swam in the 1992 Olympic
@@lkfrostad You a liar, your name ain't in those Olympics bubs

Hybridswimmer and I accept your apology!

I want to see an interview of Mary Wayte for an upload Los Angeles Olympics 1984.
Please upload Mary Wayte, USA and Cynthia Woodhead interviews followed by the medal ceremony 1984.

outdoor pools are BEST
Go mary, Go Gators.
She graduated elementary school
Igor Mandic' not an unusual accomplishment.

Those women may become grandmother😂
too bad Jim Lampley calls this like a boxing match! Not a good commentator outside of boxing.
Nowadays there are 12 year olds going 1:50
Current world record is 1:52.98 set in 2009 by Italian Federica Pellegrini.
Yeah no
Nope ... none at all.
I swim faster than this during training sets. I’m also a 6’3 dude, guess that helps haha
