00:00Into those middle lanes after that turn, it's going to be who's got the best underwaters utilizing that turn and
00:05then maintaining that momentum right through to the end.
00:09Well, that's a really good call, Hannah, because we did watch the turns this morning and Liendo is the world's
00:15short course champion on the record holder on the 100m butterfly, world's short course record holder in that 25m pull.
00:22And by definition, you have to be good on the underwaters there, but Matt Temple, the speed around the wall,
00:29when he touches the wall with his hands, there's no time at all between his fingers touching and his feet
00:35leaving.
00:35And he's quite a big guy as well, so really getting that technique on, knees to the chest, point the
00:40toes, getting your body around quick.
00:43It's a technique that the Australians are very good at.
00:48Well, big final for me, I love this one, the men's 100m butterfly final, Matt Temple of Australia in four,
00:56Canada's Josh Liendo in five.
01:02So it is the men's 100m butterfly final, and in lane five, maybe just the best start there from Josh
01:08Liendo, but it's going to be mighty tight down this first 50.
01:10Jacob Peters, right at the top of the red hat, who started very fast, but it is Liendo in the
01:16black hat at the centre at the moment from Temple in the yellow hat of Australia.
01:21Here we come into the turn, and it's going to be these underwaters that's going to really dictate the rest
01:25of that race.
01:26Josh Liendo really utilising those kicks into that break out, and the breaks are just in front of Ben Armbruston.
01:34He had a great swim in the semi-finals here.
01:37Oh, that's 15m to go with this final event, 100m butterfly, and Josh Liendo still just leading, the Tempo's coming
01:44back in four.
01:45Liendo in five in the black hat, but the two Aussies having a go.
01:48Is Tempo going to get the touch?
01:49It's going to be right on the last stroke.
01:50He's got the touch.
01:51Oh my goodness me, Josh Liendo wins it by one 100th of a second.
01:56That last stroke was extraordinary.
01:59Wow, the speed that he got his arms over, because they weren't first with one stroke to go, but he
02:05just picked them up and shoved them in.
02:07How did he do that?
02:08I'm sure he knows he's won yet.
02:10Josh Liendo wins Canada's first gold of these games.
02:13It's on night three.
02:14Wonderful swim from him.
02:16Liendo is the defending, well, successfully defended that title one last time in Birmingham.
02:22Gold to Liendo, silver to Tempo, and the bronze to Armbrister.
02:27Superb swim, and that explosiveness off that block just as important for these sprint racers.
02:33What a performance.
02:37Josh Liendo there looking really strong.
02:41Nice smooth strokes fast around the wall.
02:43That slight pause before he starts that fly kick to get that momentum off that turn.
02:51Nice, long, flat strokes, not up and down, every stroke making him go forward, but here, that finish.
02:58It's almost a repeat of, was it Kavic and Phelps in 08?
03:03Oh, and you know, if you watch the hands of Tempo, they're pointing up to the ceiling, whereas Josh Liendo's
03:10were pointing slightly more forward, and I think that's the difference, you know.
03:14Wow.
03:15And you've got to be careful if you point your fingers forward, because you can...
