Hey guys! (SPOILER ALERT)
I will not mention the person who won the 400m freestyle finals
The winner was:
+ Show Spoiler +
Park Tae-Hwan!!!


This week the 2011 WC Shanghai Men's 400m Freestyle finals was hosted and finished. Watched it live and I absolutely LOVED IT, it was incredibly amazing. The winner is an stupendous swimmer and the match was flippin awesome! I got goosebumps when he suddenly raced through to become 1.20 seconds above the second place. And I just celebrated To the point where the neighbors complained for being too loud (They're grouchy neighbours, I mean come on! That was the best swim i've ever seen)

I am a HUGE fan of the winner, he has always been my role model as I am a vivid swimmer and I have been swimming ever since I was about 6? His 400m really got me inspired to become a better swimmer and I wish to become like him and compete in championships. In my spare time I choose either to play Starcraft 2 or to swim at the local millenium (Membership FTW)

The Beast

I am also aware of the 200m Freestyles because it wasn't too long ago, Phelps was amazing but I think he used too much of his energy on his beginning to mid. Park Tae-Hwan was swimming really well too and it was too bad he came fourth even though his last lap he just bursted with speed (It was seriously close by about 0.04 seconds I think) I dont know if that was his stratergy or not but it didn't really work out :S

But still, congratulations to the competitve swimmers who got top 3 for either tournaments! And to those that competed in the tournament, what an inspiration and what a great tournament.

So Teamliquid, who else are swimmers or a fan of competitive swimming? And what are your guys thoughts about swimming?

ahh i used to swim until i injured my shoulder had surgery and did a year of rehab.

This guy is a beast, I really wish more swimming was aired in America because it really is a amazing sport to watch and compete in.

I think these next olypics will be very very interesting as well, I myself wonder if Phelps is up to produce as he seems to have fallen off a bit last time i checked.

also this is hands down the greatest race ever as it was not jsut a huge comeback but it kept phelps's hopes for the 8 golds alive

Tangentially related, I watched the synchronized swimming final. It was amazing! Holy shit you have to be strong to be able to tread water like that and do those formations and throws and stuff. It's some of the most impressive athletics I've ever seen.

I think it's interesting how Park Tae Hwan always starts sprinting in the last 3 laps. No one else has that kind of energy.

Exactly 4 years ago. He was only 17.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.
