Who's here after Sjöström's 2024 olympic gold in 100 free? Sjöström's the GOAT! 🐐 Btw, is there a swimming distance that has more 'status' than the other? Like 100m is in running (arguably).
Important thing to mention about that 50 fly world record is that she has done 24.60 indoors, that's just .17 above. Not at all unthinkable. It was a holy shit moment when she first set it but since then she has backed it up so many times that the conspiracy theories are looking crazy. She has been under 25 seventeen times, the second fastest woman all time has her best at 25.05 which is Yufei this worlds. Of the top 61 times recorded in the event Sarah owns 51 of them, of the top 25 she owns 24.
@@Sockwell yes. Mens was very good but without Peaty, Milak, Dressel, and popovici swimming poorly, despite Marchand and Qin, women's was so much better.
Thanks a lot. She is one very special swimmer and Borås is a rainy and windy little city. I don't really care if that record is a bit off, 'cos that woman deserves everything she gets. Swedens mermaid, we're so happy to have her.
In the conversation? She has 98 Senior Championship Medals (European, World And Olympics) with over 55+ off them being golds. There is literally no one even close to her in the goat race.
She is for sure and is likely the best "skins" swimmer on the planet... If you're reading this and don't know what "skins" are its a race format where you swim a 50 against 8 people (top 4 survive) then you race again against 4 people (top two survive) and then you race again 1 v 1 to determine who wins...
@@simonedwards2703 She didn't. During the 2019 season, Kromo beat her in London 2019 in round 3. Cate Campbell also beat her in the first round in Las Vegas. In the 2020 season, in match 9, she came 4th in the first round after Melanie Henique, Kromo, and Femke Hemskerk, and in the Semifinal she was beaten by Madeline Banic and Arina Surkova in the first round. In the 2021 season, in match 1, she came fourth after Kasia Wasick, Siobhan Haughey, and Anna Hopkin in the first round. In match 3, she was beaten by Kromo in the first round.
Kyle, during the COVID boredom I dug into the conspiracy regarding the wind-assisted 50 Fly WR. I looked at the pool, location, the surrounding buildings and downloaded weather data from nearby weather observation stations. I also analyzed video material. I've always wondered why someone hasn't done a video about it. Anyways, let me know if you want to know if the WR was wind assisted...;)
I was there when she set the record outdoors. The pool lies in a kind of slope or basin so the wind wouldn't affect the swim at all at the water surface. I've coached for 28 years, the time is legit no doubt!
Yeah my lsc we have the same event schedule for every single championship meet basically the Christmas meet and higher the last day has 50 fr 100fly 200bk 500fr on the same day which for age groupers they don’t know what they spec in quite yet so they’re good at all of them. So you’ll see almost all of them trying to do the hardest triple that I’ve personally ever done 200 back 100fly then 500 free. Because the event schedule goes 50 free 100breast 200 back 100 fly 500 free
