Damn! They're fast, so fast, and that fast up to the very last inch. Wow, with my 2.5 km every other day with a 62s/50m cruise speed I just look ridiculous
Lamastra with the cool pre psych routine in lane 6 and Adilbek with that wonky pause stroke in lane 1. Love it! This was my event in the 80s. Was able to get down to 2 minutes and 5 seconds. Times have changed.
the race is over at 50. Notice how fired up he was, after all he went through, he pull up with #1 time in the world that year. The greatest of all time.
During the turn, is it legal for the "double-arm" pull to be done separately, one after the other, after the swimmer is turned past vertical turned "toward the breast"?
47.69 is his PB, but he did swim super fast, out of fluke, in both free and medley relay finals in Tokyo with 0.05s & 0.04s reaction times respectively...
after u perform the turn, and after kicking off the wall, can u perform the dolphin kicks with your body position side way initially then after that slowly adjust your body to the back before you break out on the water? i am asking this because it is quite hard to hold your breathe while at the same time, prevent water entering the nostrils on the back underwater after you kick off the wall after executing the turn.
