The last world record holder in the 400 I.M. was Tom Dolan. The record was set at the 2000 games in Sydney. The time? 4:11.76.

Almost an eight second drop in the span of 8 years. Arguably the greatest athlete of all time.

I don't have to argue it. The results are there. He'll be the most accomplished Olympic athlete ever after this one and he's only 23.

Not denying what he accomplished, but you can't annoit a 23yr old as the "greatest athlete of all time"

I really could care less about swimming, but Torres last leg was cool to watch

I said arguably and you can't deny he's on the short list. To do so would be completely ridiculous.

Just how many times does he have to break a world record? At least 100, 200?

What a bunch of Hackers those Chinese are. Guys tried to give Chris Paul and elbow, but Paul was just too fast for the guy.

Swimming experts; When did they start to do the fin motion when entering the water? Not bug on swimming but that has to be something new i.e. last couple olympics...

That was one fkn huge set of nuts on the veteran. Thats how you show the hell up for your country. You knock off the top ranked freestyler in the world and you gave him a head start.

The French said they would crush us.

The french are really comedy. First they start **** with me at the blackjack table, then they go and win the Arlington Million, and now they just got payback by getting snapped on the wire. Karma is a bitch. WEE WEE.....
