The best thing in this race, besides the fascinating performance by Joseph Schooling, is this historic three-way silver medal tie of those three great butterfly swimmers, that was an epic moment when they joined hands and stepped up together to the podium, that was the best moment in Rio swimming. I'm happy for Laszlo Cseh who's 31 years old and this olympics could be his last, for Chad Le Clos he's still young and has more time to achieve a lot of things. For Micheal Phelps, can't find words to describe the legend and best sportsman in history, the Olympics will never be the same without him.

Such a nice goodbye for old legends and buttefly rivals Le Clos, Phelps and Cseh, and a welcome for a new legend Schooling!

[mannyrivas]

I love how this time they talk about the winner instead of talking about how Michael Phelps didn't win!

[kassandra]

honestly joseph is so amazing…he beat his idol at such a young age. look at his face, how proud and happy he is and how the other competitors hug him! so what if he didn’t do as well in tokyo, he tried his best !!and yes we never know if there’s someone better out there, everyone is training hard and aiming to do better. tokyo could’ve been their win in many years, just wasn’t joseph’s.

My fav Olympic moment is when a Canadian wins gold.
My second fav is when an athlete from the host country wins gold.
My third fav is when an athlete wins their country's first ever medal or first ever gold.

Thank you Joseph for winning the gold for Singapore. I cried now watching this.

[irfandanial]

When Joseph touched the wall and won, the whole estate screamed and made noises😂Someone even blasted the horn you would hear on Football matches😂😂😂

[Chechox]

Great swim by Schooling. Fair triple tie between the GOAT, LeClos and Cseh.

[chilli-padi]

still very proud of joseph he's always a winner to me

What makes Joseph Schooling's win such an impressive one:
1) Singapore's first gold medal in over 50 years (there was one around the 60s but Singapore wasn't even known)
2) Michael Phelps is Joseph Schooling's idol, when he was young he admired Micheal Phelps and even took a selfie with him

This is really a model example of "Keep working hard, until your idols, become your idols"

[ivyyang]

Thank you for making us Singaporeans proud. I want to replay the moment again and again, because every time I watch this, i can’t control my tears.

[nathanhon]
