Actually, I would love to have seen Manuel & Allison Schmidt go at it. Both were so strong, & flawless in the form, it would have been classic. No way to know who would have won, but it would have been a scorcher. ----------Dana Vollmer wins for us every time. Totally dependable & unbeatable. -------------WolfSky9, 71 y/o

Nope, Sjostrom owns Manuel

Nope. MalsDoxy Glambert is right. Manuel has the most beautiful stroke. Poetry indeed.

Who has the world record? Case closed. When Manuel can say she's done 51.7 (which she hasn't even come close -- not even with half a second), then it's a different story.

tenningale, We're talking beauty and poetry. And it's poetic justice as well that a black girl literally brought home Olympic gold since it hasn't been that long since it was "ILLEGAL" for black people to swim in many public pools in the USA! Heck, even as recently as a couple of years ago a black child was ARRESTED for swimming in a pool that crazy white people objected to and called police! The girl can be seen on youtube crying for her Mommy to help her as she's being mauled and arrested by a demonic "policeman! A judge should make that evil "arresting officer" and the satanic racist "citizens" who called him watch Simone Manuel's beautiful, angelic Olympic performances over and over and over again.

Exactly!! As a Swimmer of 8 years, I say she was extraordinary in this event. Well done, Cate!!

I agree

Thanks, you

Vorfreude even when tired a true swimmer never stops or slows down

in fact, she wanted to do olympic record...

Vorfreude she was tired

Mud Fox I know. Let’s look at the menseseses

So awesome 👏

Mud Fox, yeah. I feel like the spectators are just as nervous as the competitors

IKR!!!

Mud Fox ikr! I swim for a competitive team, and omg, its so stressful

Yes. Australia freestyler won them a medal. China freestyler lost them a medal.

True!!!

Campbell was faster than Manuel on the final leg. Australia is always a powerhouse in swimming.

@Olivia Yu no one asked

@Olivia Yu No. I’m a state level swimmer for the past 2 years. In butterfly, backstroke and only district in freestyle. I have no reason to be jealous. Oh yeh. I’m only 13.

Alisia Olli did you have a stroke?

소정 I think they’re speaking Dutch.

Yeah, she didn't need it. She actually increased the 1.10sec lead she got from Dana to 1.87sec. Dana and Simone shone.

Mouad mammar, You are right. Simone Manuel is fantastic!

mouad mammar Simone Manuel is probably one of my favorite Olympic swimmers

Carla Stepha indeed ! Butterfly is the most difficult and tiring 😩😩

Mine is back

To play butterfly need to take a lot effort

I'm a swimmer butterfly is my best stroke but I cant do breaststroke to save my life

Only because.......but we move on....

Ar3e2007 Berry same with me! I am a swimmer that just made regionals in swimming!

@@sunnyxu639 i know it’s two years later but that’s amazing! i am going to the junior olympics soon and i’m 13 :)

they have have Torri Huske, who has a very similar skillset and actually has a faster PB in the 100 butterfly

yes, the 2012 team is stronger at every stroke, with a WR or OR under each of their names, and set a medley relay WR. Missy Franklin's backstroke made the most difference here, she was the last 'female Phelps' in London, while Baker is only a bronze medalist in Rio.

Baker is a silver medalist and king and manuel were gold medalists along with dana. Problem was king was really slow for some reason and dana who had the world record in 2012 has slowed down with age

That's true though, King seemed not properly briefed on to do medley relay, maybe the 19-year-old should visit Rebecca Soni for some technical advice.

Vollmer's fly kind of makes people anxious a little bit about who will fill the shoes in medley relay in Tokyo, similar to the US men's team now that the Greatest one is determined to retire.

Desmond P T Vollmer can really FLY! But I'm sure US will have a younger for 2020 🏊🏼‍♀️ GO TEAM USA!!

@Chuong Hoang Nguyen (Chuong) what?

@@engemaxprojetoseconstrucoe5658 a bit of Russia is in Europe, a bit in is in Asia

@Chuong Hoang Nguyen (Chuong) culturally speaking it's a European country.

@Chuong Hoang Nguyen (Chuong) Russia is not in the Asian Games, for it is not a mumber, it is an Europe Country, elementry knowladge

@Chuong Hoang Nguyen (Chuong) and its not an asian team, if thats what you trying say, yes we know Russia is a transcontinental country, so is Turkey,and the US (Japan amd South Korea counts part of the US, : P, LOL) but in sports world, there is no transcontinental thats my whole point, peace out

Chicago Masters Miss Manual is a Torpedo in the water!!! And smooth as silk with a long easy stroke rate. Well done young lady!

She was probably a little disappointed she that didn't beat the world record

she’s tired too

She was upset cause she was so close to getting a world record

Jonathan Bachman well it is Stanford

Keneese Knight some times I might cry cause last time I stop cause I was crying u know that felling when your throat has that tingling feel so yea it was like I couldn’t of breath so yea:(

And we were in our own pool for the meet

You don't want to.

Araminta WILLIAMS [08Y1] u are not

Me too but I'm 8

@@rosiovalencia2679 Follow your dreams my youngster!

You can do it! Follow your dreams! I'll be cheering for you

mackvnzie you use momentum and core strength 🙂

mackvnzie exactly what I was thinking bc if they got there a second later, they’d probably get a concussion from hitting their heads against the wall

You learn it very quickly when you do it. I had my first event at the age of 8. Day before the coach realised I had no idea how to do my turns.. next day I won 6 gold medals, and kept going for 8 years. Such an incredible sport, and lovely people surrounding it

you lean and it depends on the stroke, if you're doing back then you turn onto your stomach, put one arm out (which you will use to give the momentum and strength to pull yourself over quickly) then dolphin kick on you're back to your side and front all in a matter of seconds.

That was amazing!

I hope you do it!

Me too can't wait to be free being in water

Our Veteran, Donna V., came through like a champ. With that lead, no one would catch Simone --no way. she's this year's Allison Schmidt. ----Wolfsky9

because she's white. That's group effort.

She was a mom here and still won gold…. Wow!

Manuel bada**, I think Simone Manuel is fantastic, too!

a true legend no true ever heard of Adam peaty and jazz carlin

+Noel's universe The USA is the best swimming nation. It's not even debatable.

UserName0043 it really is the USA has a big thret in swimming which means there no always winning 😊 also we completely distroy you in cycling anyways 😁

Oona Aurelia No, we know who Adam Peaty is. He's an amazing athlete for sure, same with Jazz Carlin. But the US has had swimming legends for years, we had the first swimmer to break a minute in 100 free, we have athletes like Mark Spitz, Caleb Dressel (first man to ever go under 18 seconds in a 50 free), and Michael Phelps the GOAT. It's no debate, the US is the best swimming Nation.

I agree USA for da win

Isabella's unicorn--yep. Didn't you know? Everyone named Simone is related.. Just how dumb are you?

Haha

Isabela Cameron LAS MILLOS. GIMNASTAS

Isabela Cameron dunno

Elizabeth Castellanos lily King was the breaststroker...

The female commentator is a 3 time olympic medalist so...

Elizabeth Castellanos, they acted like that because in a relay, they want swimmers to go faster than their individual time. Lilly King went 1.04.93 in the Individual 100 breast but here she went 1.05.70

She slightly lost the lead

Elizabeth Castellanos, I kind of agree with you. That was rude of them to talk about King like that.

Oh so true😞😞

They always overlook black especially block women. Or come with some BS. Like they did with Flo Jo

@@dickersonr6172 No it's because she was literally going so fast that everyone knew she already won and the Australia was literally going from 7th to 2nd on the last 100 meters so that was an exciting silver race too.

Cate did have the best time in that freestyle finish she just was too far behind to be able to pull it back. She did soo well to get into silver when we were like 6th in the butterfly leg.

@@JupiterThndr If the other girls were a bit faster , Cate Campbell would reach 1st place winning this for Australia.Cate Campbell is undoubtedly the best swimmer out of all of them and the best in her team , that's why she's the leader after all.Still , she needs to focus more on the individual events though.She does have the potential to be the best when she means it.

I think she's just exhausted

Such a heavy program Simone Manuel had, and undoubtedly she was relieved to finish on a gold note!

Simone's a sprint freestyler, so her program wasn't that heavy: three rounds of the 50m and 100m freestyle each, and the 4x100m freestyle and medley relays, where she only needed to swim in the finals. She logged a total of 550m swimming in Rio, spread out over a week. A relatively light program compared to others, but a highly successful one with two golds and two silvers.

as an NCAA swimmer who had been training heavily months before most of these girls yes she did have a heavy load. Im pretty sure after rio she was beat down. you must not be a college swimmer because it isnt hard to understand it

Love But all swimmers taper their training for the Olympics so that they come into the competition fresh. Training year-round for NCAA swimmers is probably equal to the year-round training a pro swimmer would have done in the year leading up to the Olympics, so there's no disadvantage either way. And unless you're injured, year-round, rigorous non-impact training, such as swimming, will actually be a benefit to the athlete the more they train, as it increases their aerobic base. I'm not criticizing Simone Manuel by the way, even though you clearly read it that way. I was merely pointing out that her swim load in Rio as a sprinter is considerably less of a distance total than a swimmer like Katie Ledecky, who obviously swims the gamut of freestyle races from 200m-800m in addition to the relays.

But I LOVE SWIMMING

suhazila M I don't like it. I *LOVE* it!!!

I dont love it i hate it

arham khader I don’t like swimming, I love it! :)

If u swam competively u would not like it.

Cate Campbell her name is amazing swimmer shame she didn’t do well individually but she’s a powerhouse in freestyle same with her sister bronte mostly cate the oldest is always the winner between the 2

Cate had the fastest finishing time for the freestyle legs. She swam sooo well to get us out of 6th place/

Kyoungshin Kim 😂

Kyoungshin Kim he is a boy! This is a women medley relay!
