Michael Phelps at the Olympic Games: http://bit.ly/2b8cFM0 Subscribe to the official Olympic channel here: http://bit.ly/1dn6AV5 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.

1. Merman?
2. Lol Phelps's opponents probably said in their mind that why did I even compete in this!
3. MICHEAL PHEPS IS SOOOO COOL
4. 4.53 i saw that!
5. Why is the sound never synced up properly?
6. I hate how non-swimmers don't realise how hard swimming is and say it is really easy when actually it requires tons of skill and dedication. These guys show this, they are more like fish than human beings and it is incredible. Whenever someone says swimming is not hard I show them this video and they change their mind.
7. Wow!! the difference between the first place and the eighth is only 1.44 s !
8. Like in 7th place the whole race, miles behind, then just decides to win, just like that, ridiculous
9. awesome video
10. Daniel eu
11. quero ser igual ele
12. Won't be surprised if Phelps could breathe in water
13. It was his 17th gold medal not the 15th
14. I'm on a swim team and I'm not nearly as good as Phelps
15. when you're about to have a swimming competition and you need the blessing of michael phelps 😧
16. Probably easy money for Michael considering that a single golden medal won from the Olympics would guarantee you thousands of dollars.
17. yeah. im 12 and im already swimming 200 fly and practicing 2 hrs a day and 5 days a week.
18. For a channel dedicated to Olympic footage, having an audio delay in your videos is ridiculous.

20. Lol my friend (who is 11) swam 50 metres in 31 seconds. It's her dream to be on the Olympics. And I'm cheering her on.
