Youngest Swimmer EVER To Win Olympic Gold! 🥇 🏊🏻‍♂️ 

Summer Macintosh of Canada was 14 at the tokyo olympics. Didn’t win a medal though :( almost got bronze in the women’s 400m free with Katie ledecky and Ariarne titmus but bingjie Li of China pipped her to get the bronze in the last 50

@@shoenan2294 I loved watching summer!! has a very bright future ahead and was honestly rooting for her

Lana Huynh omg same I wanted her to get a medal so much but up just think. She’ll still only be 17 in Paris 2024 if she was this close to the medals in Tokyo at 14 she’s going to be up there as a HUGE contender with Ariarne and Katie in Paris

@@shoenan2294 Summer will have her moment, she showed plenty enough in Tokyo that she will be a medal contender in Paris and even stronger in 2028 if no injuries

@@juliekeast6175 Sorry why are you telling me this I already said she would be

Thats not true... if you are higher than your opponents you can make more distance per stroke them then, so if you would have to swimmers with exactly the same stroke frequency and the same power, the one with the longer arms and legs (so usually the higher one) would easily win.

@@swimmingcoach1405 You clearly aren’t a breastroke coach. Firstly, breastroke RD are often the shortest out of al the strokes, especially considering a 14 year old was able to win the Olympics in it. Secondly, being taller creates more drag in breastroke, giving taller people a disadvantage in it.

@@alexsinnett6123 thats not true. Just take a look at the best breaststrokers in the world at the moment. Adam Peaty (1,91m), iyla symanovich (1,94m), Emre Sakci (2,04m), Lilly King (1,75m) lydia jacoby (1,82m), Tatjana Schoenemaker (1,74m). If you would be right with your argument, the best breaststrokers would be a lot smaller. How could the best breaststroker of all time be 1,91m on the mans sight and on the women’s sight 1,75m? Also if you take a look at the Olympic winners you won’t find anyone else who won this event who is so small. That happened only ones. Also consider that she was a big talent, and by far not at the top of her career, so she would have got so much better when she became older and full grown if she could have been dealing with the pressure and wouldn’t have stopped with swimming at a high level. Compare her to Michael Phelps at the age of 15. He wasn’t full grown and trained as well and improved so much. But she was even more talented because she won at the age of 14 Phelps got 5th at the age of 15. She didn’t won this race because of the fact that she was small but because of her talent, technical skills (that was much better than the technic of her opponents), her crazy endurance (she had a crazy fast second race half), and also because of her strategy. In the 200m Breaststroke it’s much better to go out not so fast and come home fast (just look at the world records from Krill Prigoda, and Tatjana Schoenemaker) and take a look at the 200 Breaststroke this year where Arno Kmminga and Lilly King took it out so fast but got beaten in the last 50. She did literally everything right in this race, so don’t say that she won because she was small. Also read my first comment then you see that this doesn’t makes any sense🤦‍♂️.

@@swimmingcoach1405 true, but breaststroke is the stroke where height matters the least. Swimmers are usually really tall, so 191 for the beast breaststroker ever aint particularly tall.

@@eirikhagen2845 Yes i agree with that swimmers are tall in general. I think breaststroke is all about momentum ands small technical details so yes it might matter the least how high you are in breaststroke, but as in every other swimming stroke it is als better in breaststroke if you are tall then if you aren’t. (So it is clearly an advantage to be tall in swimming, it doesn’t matter in wich stroke)

Chinese golds don't count, probably doping

DK has a brain the size of a pea!

@@DK-tt1zt Doping in diving?

@@das81 yeah, seriously?

Penny Heyns raced without goggles as well ... she did wear in training tho

still pretty good for a 14 year old, thats like a 2:03 yards time which is like 99% percentile

although u r right this is way to slow to win a olympic medal but back then no one had fancy suits or knowledge

it was in 1992

Why are you demotivating her? As if you can predict future!!? She would definitely perform well at Paris.

@@shiva9575 this was in 1992, she's 43 now and clearly does not swim anymore

@@maxftw4416 yea wtf lmaooo

@David Pumpkin wikipedia says she performed well until 1995 and nothing after

@@maxftw4416 I'm sorry.. I thought this video was of Tokyo.

Did you not hear the cheers? She was still in the pool so we can't know wither someone congratulated her or not.

Yes .no body congratulate her. Anita Nall is just like traditional heavy headed American attitude

I thought so. Video doesn't look anywhere near today's videos.

@@silentangel221 Cool!

I didn't notice until I saw your comment. I wonder if it's just for the race. I can't imagine training for 20 hours a week without goggles.

Nah, its barcelona 1992, almost 30 years ago

Unified Team

Yes, Unified Team or Équipe Unifiée for ex-Soviet Union countries after it fell in 1991.
