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.

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.

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.

It is really incredible for the Australians. They didnt win the 100 freestyle with Thorpe (one of the greatest freestylers of all time), Magnussen (twice world champion) and others. And in 2016 an 18 year old boy came in beating McEvoy, the aussies favourite, and Nathan Adrian the former olympic champion. Incredible
