Olympic お前 お前 お前
Olympic,
Link is dead
You guys are realy good i wash that i could do it :)
must be wondering why everyone is swimming the opposite way
Must have gotten used to it.

Iozhe sun gnji
Good one
ĆWICZEŃ
LMAO
7 humans and a fish
Sebastian Elytron YESS
7 humans and a supersonic jet
and mermaid
And a shark
Calling her a fish is an insult actually.
While you wait for the elevator on the 11th floor, Katie Ledecky took the stairs, got to the ground floor first, washed your car, walked your dog and did your homework.
Twice.
August Spiro
Well tell her I say thank you when she's back in the U.S.A, she took the ocean and I took a plane. She still beat me to it.
August Leaves lol
August
नाही या Leaves,
the dog must be exhausted over walking, JKJK good job Katie Ledecky!
You are a moron, total imbecile
Katie Ledecky is probably Poseidon's long lost daughter tbh
Peacelover1212 she's a Pisces born so...
@@iamdafuriousofall lmao
Katie Ledecky токио олимпиадасында чемпион атанып әлемдік рекортыңды жаңартуыңа шын жүректен тілектеспін
12 seconds difference is something you would see in a mountain bike race. Not swimming.
People watch mountain biking races?
Noublite I wrote about the swimming Olympics for my school newspaper, and I had to put in perspective how much 12 seconds is, and it's insane
C K Could you upload a picture of that article to, say, Imgur ?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$##$$$$$$$$$

Or 5K run.
it was a great effort yellow line. at least you are still the second fastest of all time.
thanh mai Lol she held the record before that so she is the fastest and the second fastest in the world. 😂😂😂
And 3rd and 4th and 5th too. She's a phenom.
thanh mai she is the record board
thanh mai 😂🤣
@@pocmuky8637 she holds 28 out of the top 30 times in the world
this is insane, the level of endurance
And I complain about 500s lol
I won't reach the end of the pool even once wth this is crazy
Wonder if that endurance translates in the bedroom?.....lmao
@@rangerdad11 gross
if ledecky is swimming, everyone is just competing for silver
You made my day! lol
As one of the announcers said at the 4:36 mark of the clip: "Already, you look at them and you say, right o, the fight for second is starting."
Nope. In 200 m freestyle, she was neck to neck with that Swede swimmer.
+fecc hdhe it's because it's 200m come on.
Let that Swedish swimmer go up against Ledecky in a longer distance swim. Ledecky is Untouchable.
+fecc hdhe tbh it's not really neck to neck with that Swedish swimmer. She got the later half but Ledecky got the start that she wants. Hell if she can even split up her times at 200 it's not even that close
Nice try moving world record yellow line. You almost beat Katie.
hahaha and the line was created by Katie~~
lmfao!!!
Jowana Bueser ahahah Nicee
Jimie Chou Definately
Lol she destroyed the yellow line
it’s insane how she barely moves her legs. we’re out here doing 100m flutter kicks while she’s got gold medals on a 2 beat pattern. what a QUEEN
It is more beneficial to do it that way for the long distances. Legs require a lot of energy.
I guess that's the answer to save energy!
I can only imagine: at the Olympics' press room:
We need a wider lens for the 800m Freestyle, Ledecky's getting out of view.
LOL
Or the 1500m, which will be new for women at the 2020 Olympics.
@@AEMoreira81 yea we dont know her 😗✌ 😂
Ok but like I die when I have to do a 100.
Legend says the other 7 are still catching up to this day
you know you're good when the time difference between you and second is almost the same as the time between second and last
The surprising part is that you’re rounding it down- the difference in seconds between 1st and 2nd was higher than 2nd and last place. Speed
What people need to realise too is that she's not beating cannon fodder here. The top 7 times in this race are all TOP level world class swims. Women's distance freestyle is actually quite deep at present, even without Ledecky this was a SCORCHING race, remember other than Ledecky, even including super suit swims barely a dozen or more girls have ever broken 8:20. So the fact she is dismantling such class athletes is even more impressive than it looks.
She's going to be the first woman to get under 8 minutes
This is still the world record as I write this (8-18-18). Unlikely she'll be able to take off another 5 seconds. Men's record (2009 suits) is 7:32.
@@tenningale Why do you have to bring men's record into this? Lol. Men are biologically stronger than women that we would live in a different world when they compete at the same level.
tenningale ... she could it’s been a couple years
@@purefatdude2 he knows. That is actually his point. He is pointing out that getting under 8 is gonna be getting into men's territory.
@@apollo5261 maybe not ledecky at this point, but grimes has a lot of potential and isn't even college-aged yet. if ledecky's records fall in the next ten years or so (doubtful, but not out of the question) i could see grimes or titmus being first to break 8 minutes.
The only challenge for Ledecky in the future won't come from another swimmer, it will be from the clock. Will she be the first woman to break the 8-minute barrier in the 800m? I wouldn't bet against her.
Not IF but WHEN!
Actually she went much slower in 2021 Tokyo Olympics than in Rio 2016. But she still won the gold medal.
It has just been announced that there is going to be a 1500m women's event in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. I am excited to see the Ledecky Slam in the Olympics!!!!!!
She will lap the others.
wonder who'll win silver this time bc gold is already reserved-excuse me...won
How is 800 m even possible especially 1500
Oh dear just hearing that is giving me hives. She will do great.
OMG YES
I'm already dying on the 50
Praew Jira same
And to some people it might sound like a joke but, at least for now, it's true for me too! Even after 25 in a short course pool including the turn, I'm dead because I run out of breath.
The only problem I have is the breathing part, I’m always out of breath and I have to stop to take one
sis same
I’m sorry is this name taken? So I'm not the only one who feels like they are nearing their death due to lack of oxygen
Every time I watch her swim I feel like I am watching a great artist at work. She is the most beautiful swimmer I have ever seen and I have seen every swimmer since the 1964 Olympics.
What is your opinion of her technique as compared to Ian Thorpe? While their techniques are obviously different (each suited to their unique body composition), my question is specifically with respect to grace in stroke. I personally find both of them "beautiful swimmers", but will give Ian a slight edge. Just a personal opinion though !!
I can't argue with you. I remember him well. I just prefer her a bit more from the visual side.
I understand and truly appreciate and respect your love for swimming.. She is truly a "beautiful swimmer".. I never intended an argument as it's just a personal choice and opinion...
Katie has that uneven, smooth stroke just like Thorpe and some other men. Very unusual for women who are like robots.
Watch the underwater video of her 800 race..EVF?, left hand doesn't push behind?
People say she swims like a man. Oh no no no, men swim like Katie ledecky (if they're lucky)
She actually trains with men (and often beats them)...
Faster, not better by any means, LMAO
joyfulvulture yeah, why is that?
blah rar - Why do people always add the "LMAO" at the ends of sentences when it's clearly not warranted?
عندك حق
Legend says that Katie swam between Rio and the US ever night. Twice
I've read that she trains from 1AM to ?2ish at major meets.....? She has her own key to the pool?
Perfect comment
Jajaja even three times a day
@@bryanshapiro6977 at rio they had a little pool outside the olympic village they could use
She beat her own world record by almost 2 seconds! Absolutely ridiculous!!! Truly amazing. Katie is a once in a lifetime athlete.
that wasn't even close! Ledecky is superhuman
Superwoman
+Ocean Monster superhuman
its not even a race if ledecky is swimming
Actually it was a race in 200 m freestyle where Swedish Sarah Sjöström strongly compete with Katie, but in longer races Katie has an absolute domination.
What happens is that the others can keep up her blazing pace at 200, but beyond it's simply like racing against a machine.
VampireYoshi exactly ;)
Ss
Watch the 200 meter final it was a closer race which Ledecky won.
Katie is one of the most dominant athletes in the world, male or female, all sports. Class kid too.
During I believe the World Championships, Katie swam the 1500 and actually 'lapped' the other swimmers...
_Viper2c_ I'm pretty sure she did lap the other swimmers
Lapping? That’s crazy!!!
@@Artythe2nd especially in meters
This is the most dominant racing performance since Secretariat at Belmont
Perhaps one could say that winning the 200m, 400m and 800m freestyles in the same Games is the Olympian swimming 'Triple Crown'.
And her best race (1500m) is now added in Tokyo 2020... she will lap the others.
GET HYPE!!!!
@@pocmuky8637 Woaahh!! I'm so excited for this year's Olympics!!!
@@pocmuky8637 this didn’t age well 🤓
Sensational. A Singaporean watching Schooling's first gold medal, stayed on after his event only to be completely floored by Ledecky. Simply sensational.
CZcams Account majulah singapura!! Two very different but amazing races
What if phelps and ledecky had a kid?
their baby will swim out of ledecky's body
That baby would be a fish.
+No one Here I'M DYIIING😂😂😂😂
A mermaid.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooioooooooooooooooooo
Silly yellow line, thinking you're faster than Katie Ledecky
Kacie Perry hehe
that yellow line was Katie's previous record haha. She broke WR 13 times!
That literally IS Katie Ledecky
Thank u I laughed so hard 😂🤣
Thank so much for giving us the entire race and the medal ceremony as well.
That still of her finishing with no one else in frame is absolutely ridiculous
Im pretty sure she has gills
snow board+ Nope! She's a real human being! A very extraordinary one!
It's true
The fish are envious
I love how Katie walks out and is all business. She has work to do.
That record is never going to be broken lol
Katie will break 8 min
I mean, never by someone else but ledecky herself! She's her own competition!
please invite some scientists to study the mutant
ming siu Lol
They have........'remarkably unremarkable' (Mayo Clinic anesthesiologist)
And then we remember, that this isn't even her best race. If the Olympics had a women's 1500m freestyle, would anyone even come within 100m of Katie?
She holds the world record for 1500m too, unstoppable
and 400m
She would be like 1937484992287447 laps ahead of everyone in a 30 lap race.
Jess+ Not even close to 100 meters! Plus, if Ledecky were male, her 1500 would be around 14:06.5!!! And If she were to swim the 400 as a male, guess what! 3:31.4!!!
Jess In next Olympics in Tokyo there will be women's 1500m too👍
wow she embarrassed the competition and that's whats real.
After the 200m mark:
Commentators: So who's gonna come second? Katie's already got a thee body length lead.
So.... if someone were to combine genes between her and Phelps would it just make a Shark?
CoZm085 sailfish, more likely. Fastest Marine animal
faster than a shark
hahahahaha
Probably
Baby shark doo doo doo doo doo doo
If it was China they would have already had them together in some lab 😂
and i get tired with a 100 free for warm up😂
Lol we have to do 200 free in practice and I like it
My warm up is 300. I get you all
My warm up is 300 free
Ok ok my warm up us playing tge cold water in swimming pool
@@vishakarandunuge2235 haha we do like 7000 yards per practice so our warmup is like 1500 lolz 😆
She's my hero. I started swimming because of her and now live much healthier and even quit smoking . I feel great . Thank you Katie .
Interesting to see ledecky destroy the field using a 2 beat kick. Just goes to show you don't need crazy leg kicks to be fast.
phelps and ledecky is a superhuman
are*
"Super humans"*
akesha Bla i ship them
They need to make her wear an anchor lol
ChrisThePleb+ I think a military sized parachute would be perfect...lol
Hungary's Representative is So Gorgeous!
Mark Jhon Marcos+ Katinka Hossu? She's been around since 2009! So, I'm guessing she's retiring soon...
Oh! You mean't Kapas! My bad! She is pretty!
Beside Katinka, she is most popular hungarian women athlete, not just swimmer right know.
Ledeky vs a yellow line.....
Her own yellow line at that
I grew up watching Ledecky 800m performance. I was 10 in 2012 and she is still winning the Olympics and world championships. Kudos Katie.
Phelps left, Ledecky entered
Sis was like:🏊♀️💨
Keep uploading swimming event video. Thumbs up
Sangeet Shukla have a blessed day
Sangeet Shukla PAULO. ALBERTO. PAVAN
She has a geeat strat
1 she almost sprints a bit to keep pressure on the others
2 makes them waste their energy
3 and she keeps so calm
12:55 she’s so proud of herself you can tell by her smile! 😄💕🏊♀️
I was already clapping before watching this
Katie's technique is EVERYTHING!!!! GOOOOO KATIEEEEEE!!!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Wow, That was a superhuman performance, unbelievable
her smile when she say her wr is everything 😍🤗
saw
I found myself saying, " Come on Katie push"....I'm so happy for her and she really does inspire me
That motivation to push yourself further even when you’re swimming on the opposite direction than the others. Just wow.
There has never been, nor will there be another swimmer of her caliber..........AMAZING!!!
Looks more like an exhibition showcase than an olympics race
Who’s BACK after she won the 800m again in Tokyo?
shes brely kicking first 200 m, shes just pulling
They all do that in distance races... takes a lot of energy to kick hard.
its very rare to see distance swimmers with a strong kick, the only example i can think of is Ian Thorpe
Gotta say, to be able to pump out a 30sec split on the second to last lap of an 800 is insane, and she’s only gotten better. I cannot wait to see her in Tokyo
I literally watch this every time before I go swimming in the changing room, it really gets me going! 💪She has perfect rhythm & power. The analogy is really useful too from the commentators I’ve learnt a lot
Thank God she's on our team lol
when ledecky is going under 8 minutes, thats the question.
Ramesh.K Krishna no I don't think she will that's a lot of pacing
Nathan Noel+ If her coach Bruce Gemmel says she will do it, she can! AND SHE WILL!!!
5 seconds is a lot..she might save it for the next Games..
11:00 is one of the best shots in the history of the olympics
dont call her superhuman...i think wonderwoman would suit her
Kapas brought her time from 2012 down nearly 7 seconds which is insanely impressive, yet she ended up losing 3 seconds to Ledecky over that time who dropped 10 seconds.
Perhaps the most authoritative Olympic performance ever.
Such bravery in pushing herself, so far past her limit. She should never have been able to finish this race at that pace. How wonderful to fight for triumph, completely without fear. May we all meet our own limitations with such courage.
sh makes it look effortless but it's not! hard work and dedication got her to where she is now
This woman is amazing! I can see this video a million times
Spectacular performance by Katie. Great camera work, wonderful announcing by John and Nicole.
LEDECKY IS SO AMAZING
I'm like binge watching these videos, and all I've learned is that Americans are amazing swimmers.
i rlly want to go to the olympics when i’m older and these other lady’s inspire me :)
I remember this race in Rio she is outta this world the way she swam super women 😂
Im a filipino and we love USA
akesha Bla same
Ledecky is amazing! She is a mermaid!
She's prob like, oh I'm too fast everyone is Swimming on the opposite side
Thanks for uploading the great Olympics!
Such a strong and courageous athlete in the history. I doubt if anyone has that strength and determination of her.
How can shw swim that long
You mean that short? 🤣
Want able too see this over the summer. Awesome!
Im Crying... this is an example of REALLY SPIRIT AND SOUL! Is incredible!!! Is AMAZING !!! Congratulations lady... GOD BLESS YOU!❤️
She is so good my fav swimmer🏊
She ' s just amazing😍
I remember this! I love Katie so much
She is INCREDIBLY FAST!
How is that possible? Incredible human achievement. Katie is super human.
I'd be interested to see if she is actually "super human" lol I'd bet she builds up less lactic acid than the average person allowing her to maintain a harder energy output without muscle fatigue ... Mark spitz was famous for it i would think ledecky is the same
Phelps too. The elite swimmers all have less lactic acid buildup. Not sure if hers has been measured yet.
10:59 and 11:51 - utter dominance!
Watching this again 4 years later and still amazing to see. The close up during the race looks like a boat in the water. Amazing anaerobic capacity and flawless technique.
I want to see a race between Ledecky and Pignatiello from Argentina.
Legends never die!!
i just love this! what a woman.
The Legend that will be remembered forever !!
Insane effort. What an amazing athlete!!!
