When talking about the great anchor swims in Olympic relay history they always talk about Lezak in 2008 or Thorpe in 2000 but this ranks up there for Keller to hold off Ian Thorpe for 200m was incredible. And look at Phelps and Lochte they look so young just kids. LOL

Heck. Keller went in with a one and half second lead , over 100 meters this is HUGE and he won be 13/100ths of ONE second - that is NOT huge...if Klim had not cracked up due to injury the decision would have went the other way.

@@toivonencresto Yes but he is not as good as Thorpe obviously. And the 200 isn't even his best race, the 400 he is still clearly behind Thorpe but more competitive with him than the 200. For him it was still an incredible effort to hold him off even with the lead. That is the point. I don't see what is so confusing about that. It is similar to how Bruce Hayes did well to hold off Gross in 84, it does not matter that he had a clear lead.

I will never forget when Gary Hall, Jr. said in 2000 that the Americans would "smash the Australians like cheap guitars" in the 400 Free Relay. The Australians won comfortably and got their well-deserved pound of flesh by air guitaring for a few seconds. Then both teams congratulated each other with huge grins and laughter. Sport at its best.

The U.S. had been the defending gold medalists in this event ever since.

Me too. I still watch clips of his swim just to see that beautiful freestyle.

What a match AUS vs USA.

Watching this race the main thing I notice is Thorpe's turns were really off for him. Keller gained on him on every turn. Heck I think Thorpe had pulled into the lead already before the 2nd turn but Keller came out clearly ahead. If Thorpe had done his turns as well as he normally does, which is a strong point for him, it would have made a huge difference.

Thorpe nearly got him.

"Klim is doing a nice job moving up on Lochte." Man have things changed!

Thorpe the best !

i agree, both times he did that (sydney 2000) he ended up- loising as he cant hold on to the pace

wow

I would be scared sh*tless seeing Thorpe catch up in the first 100 like that on the American team

Klim should never had swum in this relay. Came into the Olympics underdone

Kinda reminds me of the 1980 Olympic hockey, the Russian professional team, against the USA "kids" . Great up-set. I do have all the admiration for Ian Thorpe tho, but he just couldn't pull this one off. Fantastic swimming by all.

Look at michael at the end of the race!

watch for the last great 800 free relay of M Phelps in London !!!! the race will be owesome

LOL you make it sound as if Thorpe had this amazing swim to nearly catch someone who is his equal or another great. Based on their times in the individual 200 free Thorpe was supposed to catch Keller, if not pass him. It basically was the same time difference between them here as the individual race. Keller has never placed top 2 in an individual race at the worlds or Olympics ever, so it was not like it was some stunning performance by Thorpe to catch up with him.

2:25 Dafuq you talking about Dara? He was the Australian leadoff in the 4x100. He split a 49.37.

he was putting lochte in his water drag

Ecstasy may be a drug, but its also an emotional state, which is what they ment.

He's making it easier for himself because he can surf off Lochte a bit.

3:59 did anyone else see the legs when he dived??

Thorpe is the best he swim after Keller 2 second but he nearly got the him

Yeah, but with no eye contact. No love lost, I guess.

Technically the US were better. Going into the 4 leg you put your life on Thorpe getting over Keller. But a couple of brilliant turns by Keller allowed him to hold on.

Yep

thrope should have used his legs more the 3rd 50m

are the aussies somewhere in that same relay in 2012 ? the fucking Us gonna show u who are the masters of the 800 free relay ; i bet even the 400 relay will be tight .

I have one question: why are there so many people critical at Paul Biedermann, because of the swimming Suite he wore, but allmost noone says something 'bout I. Thorpe, even though He was Always wearing a swimsuit. That's Kind of unfair...(sorry Bout my English,i am german). Anyway, i was swimming when i was Young, And i think, that every one, who makes it to the olympic Games, deserves respect( whitout dopers). Gruß,O

8:22 American team celebrates, Thorpe"s back on the left side. Thorpe isn"t interested in silver. The winners take it all.

its not that bad being the anchor leg. the worst leg is the 3rd

He is W champ, but holds no record.

.13 is still quite alot not ALOT ALOT but enough that its not like very very close

fk me i thought australia were gonna win

What an weird comment by the female announcer at 6:32, Keller has trained his whole life to breathe to the left. It would throw him off even more, if he suddenly switched his breathing side.

The US relay team watched Miracle the night before to give them to motivation needed to defeat the Aussies.
