Highlights of the Women'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.

You guys have to understand, these are the fastest people in THAT country. While your times might be faster than theirs, you DON’T live there!! You can make it into the olympics when you get to Olympic trials first. So shut all your mouths and just be happy that they are there, because most of you in comments I wouldn’t want as my teammate.
Well said girl
The one downside of being in the USA is if you're an athlete with Olympic dreams the bar is so high. In those countries, especially the ones with less population, there are just fewer people in each sport and therefore fewer people to have to beat.
I am 10 and my time is 1.2.48
well done, do you want a medal?
+Igor Mojak a sticker maybe
1.2.48? What kinda time is that?
Probably 1.02.8
LOL! As a former swimmer No! These people are obviously trolls! XD
The second heat the commentator said that Africa is well represented by Guyana.Guyana lies in South America. Geography guys.
Maybe he was thinking Guinea
@@robertridley9279 maybe. But if you dont know something dont say incorrect things.
Half of these comments are people going on about their own times. No one cares.
lmao more like 90%
They really should make sure the commentators know their geography.
Guyana is not part of Africa. Commentator sucks.
