These times are amazing:
Kyle van Niekerk - 13 year old!
His results were as follows:
100m Free: Gold in a winning time of 53.89 – New African and South African AG Record
50m Free: Gold in a winning time of 24.69 – a New African and South African AG Record and the fastest recorded time in the world for 13- year- olds during 2011.
Yes these are long course meters. Puts it all in perspective for us geezers :cane:
Geek,
HS is scy, Joe Hudepohl went 43.43 in 1992 in the 100 scy free which puts him 16th on the All Time Top 100 Age Group Times Men's 17-18 100 SCY Freestyle. Was Joe in HS when he did that time?
David went 42.24 in a jammer in 2011.
Joe was pretty much a freestyler.
David swims everything. David's 1:41.39 200 IM, is almost 2.5 seconds ahead Dan trupin's 1:43.83.
Phelps was 1:44.30 in 2004
Lochte was 1:44.58 in 2003
Pablo Morales was 1:47.82 in 1984
Hudepohl's 49.52 100 LCM fr in 1992 was pretty incredible, was he in HS when he did it?
My point is that calling someone the greatest ever is fairly subjective and there are many subjective criteria. It seems like every year we see some new phenom and want to call them the greatest ever. Of course, we all know that only one person is the GOAT, Ali.
Oh, and check #45 on the list. It's my personal mission to see to it that we don't ship another of our superstars to you. It has to stop!
