Anyone know why some videos-including world record runs-are nowhere to be found?
Is there no race video of the entire women’s 400 meter freestyle? It was a world record swim.
Where are the breaststroke races.
If anybody can provide links to complete races , please let us know . What those guys ( the Olympic business committee ) have provided us is half a joke or clearly they dont care about swimming fans
None of the videos seem to be working
It’s working on You Tube.
I want to watch the full 4×100 free relay
I had it recorded on BBC – than it got deleted accidentally . 5 days ago , i found the South African Olympic channel on yutube – downloading big chunks of the Swimming races , included the Men’s 400 free relay – What a speedy fast amazing race by Team Usa – that was a clutch relay – one of the fastest in History . I am gonna love watching ti again …like u .
Big Problem for some relays – they are not complete …just a resume . TOO BAD
I have it on my DVR still
Is there not underwater footage for all the races? I know they had the cameras down there!
If you know anyone in the production booth…
