Same

yea why did he retire so young ?

@@williamrithaler4051 in an interview, he said that he achieved what he wanted in the sport, and he had other interests in life than swimming.

Since when did Pieter van den Hoogenband go a 1:44? I don't think he ever went under 1:45.

he ever got 1.44.89 at european championship in 2002 that's only one time I went under 1.45 in his career

Yeah I know I looked it up and that's when I realized that I was wrong. It's just that he never did it in the world championships or the Olympic which is why I didn't know about it.

like what Magnussen did in 100free, he reached his PB with a time of 47.10, which is the fastest ever in textile at Olympic trials while his best at olympic and championship is 47.53 and 47.49

At the world championships Agnel swimmed 1.44.20

ok ill edit it to yannick agnel holding the world record

no more

Suits and Drugs not needed.

probably would have went 1 minute and 42.99 seconds

I think he would've gotten the olympic record, probably not the world record.

Would it really matter? He torched Lochte and his underwaters in this race.

@@eldoug1589 I think the OC was more referring to how fast Agnel could go, rather than whether or not he could win

@@shiftyboi8827 I’m pretty sure eldoug knows that; I think his point is that yannick is probably faster over water than underwater since Lochte already has world class underwaters.

best race in 2016 would be 100 free Magnussen, Mcevoy, Adrian, Morozov, Ning Zetao, Manaudou...or even Agnel, Feigen....

2016 will have lochte, hagino, agnel, McEvoy, guy, sun yang, maybe Phelps..

stravius also?

looking back at the 100 NOBODY saw Chalmers coming

@@hoangle2897 Also, nobody was expecting that Timmers will get the silver...

Yh so awkward

And it should have been the true Olympic record !

phelps had been at his peak in 2007 not 2008 before supersuits was applied...I think that he would never get under 1.44 again without LZR suits. It is proven that phelps swam 1.44.79 in textile (off his PB by 0.93) in shanghai 2011 or 1.44.05 as anchor leg in london 2012.

you can't take his time in 2007 into comparison, he was still wearing a full body suit.

full body suit but not super suit.... look at his 200 butterfly in 2007, he chased down former WR by 1.71s with only jammer and goggle

It was the Fastskin FS II. That suit is fully textile.

Most certainly. Best 200m free swim ever - such a smart, and well implemented swim. Agnel actually talked about it on Brett Hawke's podcast (available on RU-vid).

Tu disais ?

Yeah... the great Ian Thorpe, Peter Van den Hoogenband (defending champion) and the GOAT Michael Phelps raced for the gold in a thrilling race. I didn't watch live on TV, but I saw a video on it....Wow.

Exactement

Marcus Yakou What if they had better swimmers from the USA? There are about 196 states around the world. But Taiwan Ins't officially named yet which brings it to 195 states. Others might swim better than France did like the Australian teammate Thomas-Fraser-Holmes Who won the 200m Freestyle at the Pan-Pacific In 2014.

Human Beings are the best, not just French, ok?

thanks we are great champions 😉🇫🇷

"We"? I only saw one swimmer that won the race and not all french people.

he can't become phelps but may be thorpedo

theterminator308 well thorpe also reigned in the 400 for a long time so not exactly

Vomitoxx Did he race in Rio? I can't remember lol.

Phelps the endless trying to be Agnel

Gg Popovici, really impressive !

@@madafok He just went under 1:43

Except for Chlorine Daddy

Personne ne s'en fous

Teddy Tom He might be trying to make his hand as streamlined has possible as to minimize drag. I’m not sure if it’s that, or if he just does that out of habit haha.

phelps was only 0.18 faster and did it with a much better suit. even if phelps had a smaller program agnel would still win

2001 Thorpe vs Angel. Ian was in his own league as well, he would have been faster. But this Angel form was nearly unexpected. Noone has predicted a swim and dominance like this.

stuflikethis what do u mean?

Jason Bui He was a god in 2009 still holding the world record in the 200m free with a full body suit but now in 2012 he had to wear a normal sized suit and didn’t even medal

Billy Bob ok thanks

Billy Bob do u know why they banned full body suits?

@@jasonbui6429 The issue isn't so much "Full body Suits", as those had been in use since the 1980's and really added a fairly marginal advantage to the swimmer; for example Ian Thorpe won multiple gold medals in the early 2000s wearing a full body suit, and no-one typically questions those victories. HOWEVER, critically in around 2008, companies began producing full body suits and "legskin" (look like tight leggings, phelps wore'em a-lot) suits that were made of 50% POLYURETHANE, a compound that essentially floated on top water, leaving less water resistance for a swimmer to deal with. At the 2008 olympics, these suits were as previously mentioned, 50% polyurethane; which while adding a 1-1.25% decrease in time, wasn't that much faster than non-polyurethane suits (Also why phelps's many world record setting performances in 2008 are still held as the fastest in the world.) Yet, in 2009 a suit that was 100% polyurethane was introduced, and this SHATTERED virtually every existing world record in Competitive swimming by a 2-5% decrease in times (WHICH is A TON in swimming at this level.) These 2009 suits, and sometimes the 2008 suits, which added less, but still a fairly substantial increase in speed are known as "Super Suits." In 2010, any polyurethane at all in suits was banned, and perhaps because full body suits got so associated with the now illegal compound; they were banned aswell. Now swim wear known as "Textile Suits" are no longer permitted to be made with polyurethane, are not more buoyant than water, and are shorter than at the knee. People tend to consider the fastest times before the Supersuit era and after it (both in textile suits) as the actual world records; in some cases of exceptional swims, they are the world record. TLDR: They banned full body suits cuz they usually had POLYURETHANE in them, a material that made swimmers go much faster than with something that mimicks human skin. People essentially saw the suits as not really swimming; or rather swimming in a way that was not "natural" or "real" (There are many other reasons aswell however.) The issue wasn't really that they "covered the entire body" however, that has a marginal effect on times; its rather the material that suits from 2008-2009 used known as Polyurethane that made them so much faster than the suits used before and after.

My stroke is like Agnels but obviously not as fast

They both get silver and no bronze medal is awarded to anyone.

Shinoda908 oh ok

Park Taiwan Lol

I mean his best in textile....not super suit

with a banned super suit. His best real time was a 1:44 high.

Paul Biderman beat Pheps and Agnel in the first leg of 4 200 shangai 2011

Emil Aliyev no its just because their are 3 years between and a lot happens in 3 years and a suit can’t give you 4 secs

@@frnzahnrt7044 They actually could. They were full body suits made out of polyurethane. They made you much more boyant and hydrophobic as the material wasn't absorbing any water at all.

ahah yes :D
