Nathan Adrian (USA) sets a time of 47.52 to beat James Magnussen's (AUS) time of 47.53 to win the men's 100m freestyle gold medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games (1 August).
The tight race was completed with Canada's Brent Hayden winning the bronze medal.
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.

3 types of freestyle by Adrian in one race. One of the most inspiring races I can remember.

@janeypowell7690 3 года назад

What are the three types? I'm confused as Magnussen reading a book about humility.

@chrisgoldsmith4397 3 года назад

@@janeypowell7690 His first length straight forward symmetrical "boat" technique. Second length stroke is more asymmetric "gallop" (bit like Phelps). He reverts to straight arm "windmill" last few strokes - arguably fastest but most physically demanding.

I literally started swimming because of this race. Nathan Adrian is my boy and I love watching him. Just came here to relive the magic after watching him do the 100m free at Arena Pro @ Mesa and he killed it with first again. Swimming competitively in college now because of him. He's such an inspiration and the nicest guy. THAT SMILE!

@geoffbruce8605 8 лет назад

This race really shows how important toughness and desire are at the end of a race. As the announcer said, Magnussenn looked like he had it won at about 80 meters. He had taken the lead and was known as a back-half swimmer. He even still had a noticeable, albeit very small, lead at about 90 meters, but Adrian just puts his head down like a madman the last 10 to 15 meters, while Magnussen breathes once or twice. That really was the difference. Magnussen had him beat but Adrian either wanted it more, was tougher, or both.

@moaz6395 5 лет назад

He didn't take a breath until after the touch after 3:59 one.

@frankswims5915 5 лет назад

@hmkls2542 5 лет назад

Two breathes is not the difference. It shows how little you know about swimming. The PROBLEM was he was looking up to the wall the last 5 meters and stopped kicking. THAT was what lost him the race.

The bald head releases more heat into the water decreasing its density and lowering resistance thus giving the bald swimmer the advantage. However it also attracts more jellyfish.

Magnussen basically lost the race in the last 5 meters because that is when he: 1. Raised his head up to look for the wall but increased body resistance by doing so. 2. Pretty much stopped kicking. If he did only one of those things he would have still won. But he made two mistakes and it cost him gold.

It wasn't even the first time in London that Maggie lost to Adrian. They both swam the first leg in the 4x100m freestyle and Adrian beat him there also. It should have been a wake up call for Maggie who should have studied the replay religiously in the days between races. Adrian would go on to swim a faster leg in the final 4x100 medley relay event also. And beat him again in World Champs a year later. Basically, Maggie is a choker.

@petterv6604 9 лет назад

Callum Wootton u crazy? i am a swimmer myself and yes they can hurt after having them on for a while. Thats why u only have them bent down during the race. Having them bent up during a race can slow u down. So u really think a pro swimmer that is going to swim a olympic final chose to have the edges bent down cause it hurts a little bit?

@callumwootton 9 лет назад

Yes I agree that he should have them down but to be honest those won't cause any drag, they are absolutely tiny
