Bro, Laslo probably has nightmares of Michael Phelps. Laslo has been there every Olympics and (I think in the olympics) lost to him. Poor man, great swimmer, wrong time.
@@lucaskincanyon7393 in Beijing he got a silver medal in all three of his events, the 400 im and 200 fly were both the fastest times ever if all of of phelp's times didn't count. That 200 fly time still is the second fastest...
Olympic will not be the same without Michael. He looks so young and energetic here. I wish I could turn back time to when he still competed at the Olympic
And then came Leon Marchand. Leon may not win as many olympic medals because France doesn't have the depth to win (or medal) in relays but he might give a run at the number of individual medals.
DannyProductions nah they’re made. If he doesn’t choose to put in the work .... never would happen. You just don’t show up! However, he has advantageous natural traits that others do not. His long body, perfect build for a swimmer, tall, freakishly big hands and feet and is doubled jointed in the shoulders and elbows. Then his V02Max is also off the charts. So in some ways he was probably born for greatness but he had to put in the work.
And the legacy begins. Thanks Michael for what you have given us through these years. Next year we are going to miss the "Baltimore Bullet". Love from India.

"Szép volt Laci" shouts the crowd on the backround. Awhh my hungarian heart just mealts.... 😍It was 15 years ago and László Cseh is still there☺️Since He has become a two times World Champion and a silver medalist. What a hero!
The 1st of many. So great to see him congratulate his teammate for his silver. He seems just as excited for his teammate winning silver as he is winning gold. True sign of a champion.
@@sammu101 the water from the inner lanes gets pushed outwards by the force of the swimmers in those lanes, making it more difficult to swim bc of waves
@@sammu101 Lane 1 is also harder because the fastest swimmers are in the middle of the pool and get to see on both sides and push each other. Lane 1 doesn't have as much visibility and they can't ride the wake of the faster swimmers in the middle of the pool. The concept riding the wake in swimming is similar to Formula 1 cars drafting behind the car in front of them before passing them.
tenningale ... In the 400im this is still relatively common, Chase for example uses it quite frequently. It’s important to remember your essentially swimming the pace of a 400 Breast, which obviously demands a slower tempo- kicking from the knees has only really become essential in the 100, it simply isn’t sustainable for most swimmers even in a 200.
@@juke7618 Yeah, they changed the rule in late-2005 I think. Phelps improved by about 8 seconds between here and Beijing, about two seconds per stroke, which is incredible.
um if it was a 200 breast you need to go out fast but conserve energy which is why a wide kick is better unless you know how to use a narrow kick like kitajima
🥺 his big smile omg, the pure happiness and pride !! So infectious! Idk why I'm binging young Michael Phelps vids rn but the guy just seems like the best 🤣
I did not start watching Michael until Beijing 2008 but wow this is the first time I am watching this race and man he looks so young and look at him now it is like the man didn't age one bit.
Throwback thursday. You still my hero~! I love watching medly he's doing extremly fantastic.That's why people called him Phelfish;)) in 2019, Dressel taking over his mark.

when you realize that this was 14 years ago because the olympics is in summer
:( time goes by too fast
This event is older than me by 5 months
Dylan Haze ur from the UK
big deal, humans have only existed for 2019 years
Those day he didn't even think, that he will be the greatest swimmer of all time and will win 28 Olympic medals
I mean he was already a huge star, projected to win multiple gold medals in Athens
greatest *Olympian of all time
Alan no, greatest olympic swimmer and greatest swimmer in general
I think he did, judging by the fact that he made the olympic team at 15 years old...

am i the only one who got so anxious about how close he was swimming to the lane line during the first half of backstroke?
No you're not. 😂
Me too
No not at all 😂
No me too
You aren't the only one. I was screaming on the inside.
The way he hugged the other guy at the end ..so much emotion
Olympic will not be the same without Michael. He looks so young and energetic here. I wish I could turn back time to when he still competed at the Olympic
As they say, aging is the great equalizer. Time for the young ones to take over. His heydays maybe over but he’ll be a legend forever.

Me too. I'm choking up watch this again.
More like ...the lunacy begins ..... 😂😂😂😂
For all those non swimmers out there, this is way harder then it looks, and way harder than you think. An average person most definitely can’t do it
Most regular swimmers can't do it all out from start to finish...
I am a swimmer and I think I could do a 400 Im but no were close to his time and I would be a seal flopping out of the water after this race
@@mochidomo
Yep
I wouldn't even be able to get to the end of the pool
I swim like a snail speed next to him lmao

I've been thinking that the whole time!
Ikr it’s literally soooo crazy
I think he’s underrated often times
If I was Cseh I would hate Michael just for the number of medals he's taken from me
and he was just a boy at that time
He's increasing his lead every turn, total domination🔥🔥
I like how Phelps already has the WR before the race
Ultimate alpha move wearing a speedo in the A-final at the olympics

Jonahs Starbucks God bless!
How is that ironic
I don't get it
not ironic
Seeing phelps and vendt holding each others hands up while the crowd shouts “USA!” gives me chills. So awesome
Little did we know what kind of Legend he would become. The GOAT of GOATS
Michael Jackson, then Michael Jordan, Michael Johnson, Michael Carbonaro, Michael Schumatcher, and Michael Phelps.
I’m changing my name to Micheal
Also it’s an 8 minute video for a 4 minute time

Dont forget Michael Johnson

400 Medley is brutal... It proves who's the best across different styles and also tests your stamina.
Huge creds to Erik Vendt, so hard in lane 1 but still managed a silver and one of the fastest times ever recorded long course🤯

There most likely will never be another swimmer like Michael Phelps an absolute LEGEND
He's so young and just happy to swim. Great throwback. Makes me enjoy my sport more!
This is so scary. He was only 19. Way ahead of his time.
Not really.
I’m watching this to get my motivation up. I have my state swimming competition soon! Wish me luck
Good luck!
How'd you do??
i hope everything went well .
Good luck on future swimming comps!!
That was the beginning of a legend, being in Baltimore and watching these races were great!
I love how happy he is for Eric Vendt.
Meanwhile I have to give my arms a break halfway through blowdrying my hair
wheres the lie

Its crazy to see the top guys in the world coming up to breathe at the flags nowadays everyone hits at close to 10 meters every wall
This guy is an Olympic KING.. 👑
Cseh and phelps gain thier first medal with together and the last also. These two champs like brothers in swimming.
6:00 seeing him smile, then smile to his friend and lifting his hand up and his friends really is nice I'll admit that
little did he know he’d become the best Olympian in the world
🥺 his big smile omg, the pure happiness and pride !! So infectious! Idk why I'm binging young Michael Phelps vids rn but the guy just seems like the best 🤣
He’s so sweet and sincere. I met him in person and his smile is definitely infectious. ❤
Awh look at the huge smile on his face!
I remember being a little kid screaming my heart out for him. Good times man
I wonder how he will feel after seeing this video now
Yahh same thought
He always say this was his favorite Olympic race (his first olympic gold medal) or if not one of his favorites ♥️♥️♥️🦋🦋🦋
Michael Phelps. Man , you were in a class all of your own ! Whew, you are just AMAZING !!
And Lazlo has always been there right with him, it’s awesome to think they have always had a great rivalry :)
and became friends eventually 😊
Upload all his Olympic medal video 2000 - 2016
i would love that too.hope they hear us
We are listening! And stay tuned. 😉
YEAH.Would be awesome!!
@@Olympics Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I want to see more of MP
@Olympics is it up yet?
For 2004 the quality of the footage shows Olympics have really invested in their cameras.
Unbelievable kick. His freestyle kick didn’t waiver one bit. Full throttle the whole time.
Dayum. Where was the competition?? He sat there waiting for the others to finish. 😭🤣😂
HE WAS LMFAO
I love how he held and raised the hand of his team mate after the win.. He did not win for himself but for the whole country...
Imagine 1st gold medal and a World Record beat in one race! Truly amazing
The stadiums were full of real faces.
Yess, indeed swimming is most difficult sports in olympics. It taks so much on your body....
Two absolute legends in this field Cseh is also a giant among mortals
Crazy to see how much the sport of swimming has changed just in the last 17 years
In what has changed?
That was beginning of Legend.
What a beautiful swim. Uncontested. Unparalleled.
I remember this Moment like it was yesterday! I screamed soooo loud when he won!
He is the Best of the Best!! No body like M.Phelps
The GREATEST OLYMPIC ATHLETE OF ALL TIME ❤
Greatest Athlete of all time
Wow, it's just amazing to see that 2004 Phelps would have beaten everyone in the field and won gold in Tokio 2020, absolutely amazing
It's a refreshing change to watch a race without commentary over the top. 👍🏼
he is a hero....kash India me bhi aisa player hota
Bhai aa raha hun
Do u think he gets bored on the podium cuz he’s so used to getting medals
I don't think so
No I Think he completely cant beliebte it every time because he still trained hard every day🏊♀️❤
This lasts an eternity to me imagine to the swimmers
Me: Tired and sweaty just by watching this..
Watching this as a swimmer gives me anxiety because I have a competition on Saturday
I did not start watching Michael until Beijing 2008 but wow this is the first time I am watching this race and man he looks so young and look at him now it is like the man didn't age one bit.
The GOAT 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩😍greeting from malaysia ❤❤❤
I love how the olympics honors our great sportsmen & sportswomen
props to the dude in lane 8 still wearing a speedo
laszlo cseh very young too jajajaja they are legends
A legend was crowned this day
I wasn't even born when this was filmed, but he's honestly an amazing person. I look up to him
Thank you Olympic for the quality upload! More like this please!
Phelps at the beginning of becoming the best ever .. nice video to watch.. hes fabulous
He's god-level in all strokes and it's scary amazing. He's made for swimming. From his dive to the ease of all his strokes. Amazing
He’s a perfect swimmer 💖
When you realize how long ago this was..
Man, I’m getting old
"Just keep pushing and
become the greatest"
That the thing he did not
thought back then
legends say: when everybody is tensed at the olympics, phelps listens to music
The memories...
video description is off. thats the previous WR that he beat

Just why? 🙁
