Best swimming performance of all time? 400m IM, the most challenging race you can do. Swam by the best swimmer of all time. One of his best disciplines. At his absolute peak. Completely dominant.
I would say this individual performance IS the number one swimming performance and WR in swimming history. The time is insane! This world record will last long, but there will be a day this will be smashed too :)
This is the only swimming WR to survive since the 2008 Olympics. The LZR Speedo suit resulted in most of them being obliterated in 2009 and now with 11 more seasons there since 2008 many of those records have also been broken but this one remains. That's how great a swim this was. This was probably the greatest single swim in history and he of course was the greatest swimmer in history.
tablelampdoor Kate Zeigler and Grant Hackett’s 1500 meters swims survived through the 08 olympics and 09 wc, yes they were broken later but they survived the supersuited world champs. This is the point I am making.
Fun fact , this was the race that his coach Bob Bowman said that Phelps told him before the games that he kept having a dream were he was swimming , and when he looked up at the clock and it had 3:07 on it , and Bob told him that it was probably his 350 split in the 400im if he wanted to go 4:03 , he said that the hairs on his neck stood up when he saw 3:07 flat at the 350 turn, lol great video.
4:28 "If he goes 4:02 or 4:03 he is gonna make us all look like a bunch of idiots" Yeah, he swam pretty fast which is why it is his last individual world record.
At the aquatic world Championship of Budapest 2022 Leon Marchand won gold with 4:04.28 and was 44 cents behind Phelps world record. I think he'd probably train with the purpose of beating it although swimming the individual medley under 4:04 is pretty much an achievement by itself.
You watch 2021 Olympics 4IM, which was all heart from Kalisz, and an incredible swim. But this is legendary. Surprised the screen didn’t go into sepia tone off that final wall. All records get broken eventually. But standing for 13 years is astounding in an objective sport where science and diet improves every day.
5:49 to time that move, whilst getting a blood rush to the head, but not losing your bearings, not using a nose blocker but most importantly for him kicking off that wall the hardest & the strongest possible, then doing 100m of breaststroke, & then a 100m of freestyle, but the type of freestyle where youre just breathing from the right & burying your head back in the water. Damn Underrated & one of the most challenging sports, if not the most challenging i know
Wow has it already bend a decade since Phelps won his 8 gold medley already? Wow I remember watching sorry Lochtie and Chsen you are amazing swimmers but Phelps is Supper human or appears to be wow could not take my eyes off of him.
This was the first time I've watched an Olympic swimming video and I was like this wth when are they gonna stop , I mean this is so epic I can't even do this much reps doing normal swimming.
Who’s here after Leon Marchand nearly broke this record on the first night of the world championships. 4:04.28 Edit he’s now DESTROYED Phelps’ record 4:02.50!
8:09 "Laszlo got the silver ahead of Lochte" - given names are usually spoken after family names in Hungary. Not sure if that's why the commentator said that though
Michael Phelps , uno dei più grandi esempi di cosa sia un campione ! E' stato il nuotatore più forte di tutti i tempi e uno dei più grandi campioni della storia dello sport..Leggenda !!
the big difference, especially in the beginning, were the turns. The commentators somehow totally missed the fact that Phelps simply pulverized the gaps after the first 50m backstroke and the first 50m breaststroke with his better glide phase and took the lead.
So that was the dude who went to my school in 2014 at a pep rally! I didn't know who he was since I was in elementary, but I remember this exact video. He even did a handstand for 10 seconds.
Congrats to Léon Marchand for beating the time
True, NEW WR 4:02.50!!!!
Yeah! Crazy

Just saw the 400 IM final for the Tokyo Olympics.. the time Phelps swam here would have won it by 6 seconds 😳
That’s nuts !
Any of three top finishers in this race, would have won gold in Tokyo by more than 1 second.
I had the same exact thought!
watch world championship 2022.20 year old Leon swam 4.04.phelps is the GOAT but all these times gonna be broken in the near future

go to his other races
not only is he there,
hes always looking up
He looks like South Korean movie parasite director 😂
Lochte and Phelps make Cseh look like a bad backstroker, even though Cseh is destroying the rest of the field ...
Unless u can have three world records in butterfly freestyle and backstroke, this Michael Phelps record is here to stay.

Incredible !
Oldest standing world record currently.
Marchand the French wonder almost did it!!
his breast stroke was crazy fast
Still owning the WR 21 years after first grabbing it.
Very nice a video👏👏
Phelps is unbelievable !!!
This race proves to me that phelps could've won the 400m freestyle and the 200m backstroke if he had had more time during the olympics.
True. It wasn’t just the 8 races. He had to compete in all the 17 with preliminaries.
200m back would have added 3 more races to his schedule
exactly 3.07 second at 3rd splits😮..how did he???
OH MY LEON almost broke his mark!!!
Oh my, maybe it's been already said but Allison Schmidt so young in the background is awesome! No wonder they are such great friends.
Allison Schmitt at 2:25? She would've been 17-18 then.
tenningale ... nah, that girl looks to be no older than 13-14, it wouldn’t be her
Type in "allison schmitt 2008" on google images. The first pic is what she looked like then (she swam at the 2008 games).
Yuriy_gorobchuk Don't underestimate a swimmers age lol some 17 yr olds look like 12 and some 12 or olds look 16-17 :/
