Резюме: Objective: Swimming is a sport with a stable kinematic structure and there is an established practice to observe and analyze the so called integral technical parameters: average speed, stroke rate (SR), cycle rate (CR), stroke length (SL), stroke count (SC) etc. Assessing these parameters could give us some insights of the tactical and physiological approaches for the 100m freestyle. Materials and methods: The performances of eight male swimmers competing in the final of the 100 m freestyle event at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games were obtained. Information was retrieved from the official publicly available web-site of the Paris Olympic Games and analyzed to determine specific indicators. Results: Descriptive statistics and partial correlation analysis were conducted. From the results, without surprise, we can highlight the strong correlation between the final time and the free-swimming time (0.771; p<0.005), as well as with the average speed (0.987; p<0.001). Discussion: The purpose of the present study is to track the values of the different components of the swimming distance, deriving their weight to the final result. In this way, we can highlight the most significant factors for success in the competition, as well as some tactical approaches. Conclusion: Successful athletes in the 100 m freestyle have better second part of the distance than their competitors, they swim final 25 m with higher velocity. Optimal ratio between cycle rate and stroke length is key for keeping higher average velocity. Athletes in the Olympic final have excellent performance in each segment of the swim, not just at one.
