Side-By-Side | First & Last Olympic 100m Butterfly
Side-By-Side | First & Last Olympic 100m Butterfly
A side-by-side video of the first ever and most recent 100m butterfly at the Olympic Games. The first is in 1968 and the most recent 2016.
The Olympic Games Instagram page posted an interesting side-by side video of the 100m butterfly Thursday afternoon.
The one on the left is from the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City -- the first time the 100m fly was competed in an Olympic Games. The one on the right is from the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janiero.
Winning time in 1968? 55.9 -- Doug Russell (USA)
Winning time in 2016? 50.39 -- Joseph Schooling (SIN)
Crazy what kind of difference 48 years can make.
