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.

nathan adrian is one my favorites next to phelps, he has no ego, just works hard and swims the best he can
10 years later this is still true, Nathan Adrian has always been selfless
I love Nathan Adrian's smile XD
Ticci Hatchet and I love Nathan Adrian
Me too
Tic Tac dx
He has one of the widest, cutest, most genuine smile. I love him!
@@noski33 agreed
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.
He didn't take a breath until after the touch after 3:59 one.
:0
Two breathes is not the difference. It shows how little you know about swimming. The PROBLEM was he was looking up to the wall the last 5 meters and stopped kicking. THAT was what lost him the race.
Hmkls “In the last 15 meters”
So I guess this poses the question- do you know how to read?
Hmkls yeah I think he was to confident in him self
this is so inspiring to watch if you're a swimmer
No kidding
Exactly
Amr Moneer r 23rd
Amr Moneer by me its the same (Sorry for my English i am from Germany)
Its inspiring even if you’re not a swimmer :)
I literally started swimming because of this race. Nathan Adrian is my boy and I love watching him. Just came here to relive the magic after watching him do the 100m free at Arena Pro @ Mesa and he killed it with first again. Swimming competitively in college now because of him. He's such an inspiration and the nicest guy. THAT SMILE!
Yes that smile is wonderful
Olympic gold medal finals and Hayden looks so relaxed before, adjusting the drawstring on his suit and casually putting on his goggles just seconds before the whistle to get on the blocks...that's one cool dude.
"I realized at that moment that my new pair of goggles had flipped straps so I was trying to see if I could fix it because I knew there was a chance they could slip down my face." - That's what Brent told me when I asked him about it. Pretty chill dude. Man, I hope you get this message update.
@@bodi.a.r Thanks for that update!
@Ayden Greer wow you’re basically Brent Hayden dude congrats!
my guy really came back after 4 years to have his question answered lol@@Mike.A.
3 types of freestyle by Adrian in one race. One of the most inspiring races I can remember.
What are the three types? I'm confused as Magnussen reading a book about humility.
@@janeypowell7690 His first length straight forward symmetrical "boat" technique. Second length stroke is more asymmetric "gallop" (bit like Phelps). He reverts to straight arm "windmill" last few strokes - arguably fastest but most physically demanding.
Nobody talking about Hayden from Canada absolutely flying to a bronze in lane 7??? Must be the no cap approach he took
The bald guy doesn't need a swim cap.
Carrie Whitmore Don't you get that his head is bald, so his head is naturally hydrodynamic
That's Brent Hayden.
The bald head releases more heat into the water decreasing its density and lowering resistance thus giving the bald swimmer the advantage. However it also attracts more jellyfish.
TommyTwobats jelly fish
TommyTwobats lololol
that anchor leg Adrian did on the 400 medly relay was insane
I remember as clear as day....epic herculean swim
3:53 the guy from cuba looks like hes just floundering... the fact that he can go 48 with a two beat kick is mind blowing
Nathan, you made ... and continue to make us all smile. Your country is - not to say your parents are - so proud of you! Best wishes for your future.
Nathan is like... I CAANT BELEIVE I DID IT. OMG I DID IT GUYS! *Highfives someone* OMG I DID IT!!!
+PerspectiveSeeker he didnt trim his fingernails that day, thats why he won hahaha.
Canadian here. remember watching Brent Hayden not receive a medal in a few other events and was out of my seat the entire race. I am not a swimmer nor do I care much about it other than the Olympics. I love how they bring a country together to root for their fellow citizens
With this fighting spirit, I am positive Nathan Adrian will win his battle with cancer (diagnosed 2019). Keep fighting Nathan!
Man that's just too sad, I didn't want to know that
@@glaciarsoylent4859... There's a lot of hope. From what I've read, it was diagnosed at an early stage. He was back training soon after an operation!
i still dont understand how garcia went 48 flat with that stroke and a 2-beat kick
Gosh damn hideous it was
+Jack Goff OMG never seen that kind of sprinting technique before
+Jack Goff its all user body strength
Ha ha, real clever name, Sir Jack Goff.
3:51
If Garcia works on his start, turn, and kicking, he could be very dangerous. He started coming back very strongly in the last 25m.
One of the most stacked 100m freestyle finals ever
This is true🙃
Nathan Adrian swam a great race! What a spectacular swimmer!
magnussen actually took the lead until the last 5 meters where adrian started using a straight arm technique, winning the race.
+Luce Xia : I think it was just an unlucky moment for Maggie. As you can be seen, he swims 100free with stroking technique of 200 free, and never uses straight arm technique. He, however, won many time, and even set his PB (47.1) being 0.42s faster than Adrian's
@@hoangle2897pb doesn’t win you medals
Executing on the day of competition does
Looks like that straight arm drive by Adrian at the end helps....also looks like Magnus eased off on his legs at the every end while adrian kept the propellers going.....
Chris Tsuma yea cause james was too confidence he was going to win
I know this is 3 years late but it’s actually a decent freestyle swimming technique. Florent Manaudou from France got the 50m freestyle world record using it.
@@lukedelagarza603 i know this is 1 year late but it is not a "decent" technique, it is the fastest for sprinting and thats a fact
great smile....
In the whole world of sports Nathan Adrian might be the most handsome guy.
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.
+Hmkls probably, but silver is still pretty decent, right hahaha. we are nowhere near to being able to critize him... the pressure must be enormous.
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
That is what sports gives you-SUPRISES!!
@Ayden Greer it was the suit
nathan adrian ..
Top 10 fastest men in 100 free in textile:
#1: James Magnussen (AUS) 47.10
#2: Nathan Adrian (USA) 47.52
#3: Vladimir Morozov (RUS) 47.62
#4: James Roberts (AUS) 47.63
#5: Cameron Mcevoy (AUS) 47.65
#6: Brent Hayden (CAN) 47.80
#7: Jimmy Feigen (USA) 47.82
#8: Pieter Van Den Hoogenband (NED), Cesar Cielo (BRA), and Yannick Agnel (FRA) 47.84
But Adrian won Olympic Gold.
George Pronto so did van den hoogenband
i remember watching this race..............,i was so happy for Nathan.........................go USA,
Hayden swam the swim of his life.
i am so proud of you Nathan !
shoulder driven, yes absolutely amazing. look at that turn over speed, look at that powerful stroke finger tip right down to the bottom as it hits. I wouldn't argue that he is probably one of the best shoulder driven freestyler in the world.
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.
"The americans have not won this event since 1988" (1:41) and suddenly comes Nathan and boom..he beats "the missile" by one hundred of a sec!!!! yep...that's Nathan G.Adrian..:D #proud
Love seeing Hayden get some hardware, well deserved!
So sad for Magnussen, but it is 100% credit of Andrian's mentality
3:11 LOL the guy closest to the camera forgot to bend down the swimsuit edges
Petter Vosvel No swimmers do that because the edge bits are extremely tight rubber and it hurts if you keep them down
Callum Wootton u crazy? i am a swimmer myself and yes they can hurt after having them on for a while. Thats why u only have them bent down during the race. Having them bent up during a race can slow u down. So u really think a pro swimmer that is going to swim a olympic final chose to have the edges bent down cause it hurts a little bit?
Yes I agree that he should have them down but to be honest those won't cause any drag, they are absolutely tiny
Callum Wootton Lol. It would matter everything if the race came down to 1/100th of a second like it does on many many occasions.
Clode VFX But it didn't that was what mattered
my boy calum coming in with the gold👏🏻👏🏻
VHOVVCJHDVC I CHOKED
IM GEEEKKEKEKEKEKDD
Calum hood?
I'm just saying... if I ever start drowning...
I would let Nathan save me!! Plus CPR!
Gold medal smile
I’m a swimmer and I don’t know how they do it but when they get out of the water they always look dry but when I get out of the water it becomes a title wave from all the water dripping off of me lmao
I never get bored of it again and again
Nathan Adrian todo un superclase!!!
adrian's breath is insane, barely exposes face out of water
Really a shoutout to the technologies that can precisely tell 1/100 sec
Let us all wish him a speedy recovery from the cancer he has been diagnosed with.
And Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Atlanta 1996, probably some more from the Winter Olympics and the past and current Summer Olympics.
He is beautiful 😍
Fabulous finish. He extended his stroke longer and kicked hard
Do you know Stephan Nystrand? He used to hold the world record in few sprint freestyles and he did a two beat kick too. He kicked less but he put more strength in each kicks and actually swam with a butterfly-like rhythm. That stroke will blow your mind if you have the chance to see any underwater shots.
I love this smile
MY FAVORITE SO HANDSOME AND HUMBLE!!!!!!!
God bless you all have a great day and holidays!
Nathan Adrian = Dream Crusher
Lezak was 46.06 in the relay
One of the best things about sports is you never know who is going to be on or show up out of no where and win. Its like any other final in any other sport. It doesn't matter what happens with any previous race or game it only matters how you do that day.
Hayden won bronze finally after he swam to a 3rd place spot in the 4x100 freestyle in Bejing.
YAS Calum
Adrian is Soooo smooth rolling out to the blocks…almost sense he can taste the gold
An incredible finish!!!!!
i love him
I was there and was so sure Magnussen would win! Good for you Nathan!
GO MALL BOY
Lmao me
Hemmotional ♡ SHANNEE XD
Yeah, they are sensor. I believe Adrian is taller than Magnussen as such has a longer arm span which he uses well. He always seems to finish strong. I think he won it fair. ;)
love love love swimming
Touchpads never lie :)
SoCal Transportation Spotter unless you soft touch 😂
That's what happened to Alain Bernard in the 4x100 free relay in 2008. He tightened up, and it's very possible he might have cramped a touch. I'm an American, just so you don't think I'm backing Alain or anything. I'm just saying that it CAN happen, even to the best.
First usa swimmer to win 100 mts free gold medal since the great Matt Biondi at Seúl 88
Popov, VDH, Bernard...
i'm still love u Nathan
Yeah i knew u could do it hayden!!!!!! Go Canada!!!!
1/100 second differnece. Adrian won fair and square.
• Assistindo agora mesmo Os Jogos Olímpicos de Londres 2012.
• 05 / 08 / 2024 - 17h30mins.
Adrian will get a warning that the wall is coming from his crew chief, Todd Tutterow. "We got that by a neck." Tutterow shouted.
I watched women 800m freestyle before this and boy the speed here is unreal!
Magnussen got 47.10s without technical suits...probably he is fastest freestyler we've ever known. Unlucky to him at 2012 olympics.
love him.♡♡♡
ಬ , ^ 美国国🚯的美国
adrians chest best worldwide :D
For me, it’s the wide grin! He’s perfect when he does that grin!
Anyone else watching this cause they are doing this at their swim meet in a few days?
magnussens technique is just incredible
fair enough! when i saw it live (on tv) it did look like adrian won as he got into the finish much better
Dude, it was by 1/100 of a second. But it was great.
Back in the day;
Nathan Adrian vs James Magnussen
Today;
Caeleb Dressel vs Kyle Chalmers
nathan adrian is so darn cute.
Nathan Adrien my boy!!!!
IVE MET NATHAN BEFORE!! Hes really freakin tall! he grew up where i am growing up now in washington! hes my number one favorite! like if he's one of your favs!
2016 Fab
ty
Nathan Adrian used 3 different techniques in this race.
HE is SO AMAZGINNN
NATHAN ADRIAN
0:45 guess someone skipped leg day
Adrian the best !!
dat finish. Adrian buried the head and kicked like mad. You can see his wake is ridiculous when he's 10m out, that's what saved him.
agree totally
Do you guys take requests?
je t'aime nathane Adrien
What a great career well by nathan adrian
Magnussen is "The Missile" because of his speed.
Adrain had a good glid at the end.
Adrain glided under water but the other guys glid was over the water.
great race from Adrian!!!
Lost by 1/100 th of a second.
The Magnusson guy is just as good.
.1 I love those races. Great job to Nathan!
yo i just turned 95 years old the other day and swim about a 54 second 100 free..is that good for someone my age?? i mean thats with a bad back too..
Yea right
+george clooney A mere 1:04 faster than the standing world record for the age group.
Yo I'm still a sperm cell in my future dads ballsack, but I can swim 100 free in 6,9 seconds. Is that a good time?
