The Arena X- Glide tech suit he wore in 2009 increased his buoyancy due to it made of 100% polyurethane. Beidermann was a pretty big and bulky guy when he set that record. The transition from the body suits to jammers hurt big guys like him because now he has to work harder to keep that weight afloat, where the bodysuit+weight combo used to make people like him incredible. Bob Bowman said it himself though. it took Phelps 5-6 years to drop 4 seconds in the 200. Biedermann did it in 11 months.

This swim is the reference of the 200m, just epic by Agnel

Agnel is the best ! i'm so proud :)

I think 08 and 09 were too recent when this happened, so the commentators don't realise what an incredible feed 1:43.14 is. No one since has even come close, yet the announcers just shrug it off, like it's an ok time or something.

Both this and the women's 200 race winner were a display of perfectly executed races.

That last 50 was ridiculous

I'm so proud for Agnel :)

The best 200 ever

thats about as good of a meet as angel could have hoped for! just incredible

I'm so excited to see how they do. There has been controversy about Yannick being sick and adding events at the last second, and there has been stuff about Sun having coaching issues. I can't wait to see if they can overcome their difficulties.

Despite being an American, expat living not in Trumpy-Town. Add this to your AWESOME BOX of moments in Olympic swimming history, Yannick was the man for 100-400 for about 30 mos. and it is here, Cheers. OUT. :)

Agnel also got three medals in the olympics last year, two of them were gold, he beat Sun Yang in the 200m. They're currently even in Barcelona, knowing that Agnel isn't swimming lots of events this time. You cannot say which of them is the best, so we'll see in Rio.

2012 Agnel is still the benchmark for the 200 free.

FRANCE FTW YEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH COME ON BABBBYYYYY

supatvshowuploader Yes Phelps' Beijing time was quicker.... because he wore a Speedo LZR. Not as fast as Biedermann's suit (Rome), but still quicker than those worn by the London field. Worth roughly a second over a textile, so without it the time would've been around what he did to win 07 Worlds (1.43.86). Good for silver here, but (probably) not enough to beat Agnel.

9 years ago. What have you done lately?

Last night, Agnel has come back with a time of 1.44.20. He didn't get the best but this record is good enough for him to get gold

Agnel : a new star is born ! ;)

is it me or does china always have the fastest reaction time on starts

No one could have beaten Yannick here ! Not even Phelps, the reason why he chose not to swim that distance .

I think we can say France has the best new generation swimmer, look at Agnel, 20 years and this is a killer

I guess I should be more specific. His over arm recovery looks similar but his pull is very unique. Straight down and back.

and don't forget Park Tae Hwan. a little part may be Paul Biedermann. 200m freestyle is still the most interesting race in championships with 4 olympian gold medalists, 1 WR holder and potential new stars

super star ~ yannick agnel

This is just awesome.

He deserves the world record in the 200m freestyle than Biedermann. 1m43.14s is real world record in this event

YES!

Interesting. Didn't know Agnel was actually ahead of London pace at 150, presumed he was around 0.5-1 sec down..... what an absolute BEAST he was here! Rivalled only by Sun (relay) since. And even then, still more than a second off Biedermann's 'WR'.... Farcical ;(

I'm still stunned lochte didn't get a medal here.

@@jasonbui6429 The issue isn't so much "Full body Suits", as those had been in use since the 1980's and really added a fairly marginal advantage to the swimmer; for example Ian Thorpe won multiple gold medals in the early 2000s wearing a full body suit, and no-one typically questions those victories. HOWEVER, critically in around 2008, companies began producing full body suits and "legskin" (look like tight leggings, phelps wore'em a-lot) suits that were made of 50% POLYURETHANE, a compound that essentially floated on top water, leaving less water resistance for a swimmer to deal with. At the 2008 olympics, these suits were as previously mentioned, 50% polyurethane; which while adding a 1-1.25% decrease in time, wasn't that much faster than non-polyurethane suits (Also why phelps's many world record setting performances in 2008 are still held as the fastest in the world.) Yet, in 2009 a suit that was 100% polyurethane was introduced, and this SHATTERED virtually every existing world record in Competitive swimming by a 2-5% decrease in times (WHICH is A TON in swimming at this level.) These 2009 suits, and sometimes the 2008 suits, which added less, but still a fairly substantial increase in speed are known as "Super Suits." In 2010, any polyurethane at all in suits was banned, and perhaps because full body suits got so associated with the now illegal compound; they were banned aswell. Now swim wear known as "Textile Suits" are no longer permitted to be made with polyurethane, are not more buoyant than water, and are shorter than at the knee. People tend to consider the fastest times before the Supersuit era and after it (both in textile suits) as the actual world records; in some cases of exceptional swims, they are the world record. TLDR: They banned full body suits cuz they usually had POLYURETHANE in them, a material that made swimmers go much faster than with something that mimicks human skin. People essentially saw the suits as not really swimming; or rather swimming in a way that was not "natural" or "real" (There are many other reasons aswell however.) The issue wasn't really that they "covered the entire body" however, that has a marginal effect on times; its rather the material that suits from 2008-2009 used known as Polyurethane that made them so much faster than the suits used before and after.
