Therewere a couple of comments on floswimming recently about Michael Phelpspossibly changing his freestyle technique. I decided to google it and . Apparently, at a ribbon cutting for Omega, he said "you will be able to tell exactly what I did as soon as I take my first stroke." http://www.beatsbydreaudio.co.uk
Itis a pretty easy assumption in my mind that Michael might be playingaround with the straight arm free technique that is becoming morecommon in world class sprinting. The French seem to have built anentire system around it. If you have ever seen Fred Bousquet bust outan , you know it can be something really phenomenal.
Jonty Skinner spoke on this at . He made some interesting points about on the world scene, and this type of freestyle was a great example. To quote:
"Afew years ago, I wrote an article about freestyle in which I arguedthat, in terms of broad technique, there are two main options, and thatour infatuation with short-course yards (SCY) racing was leading usdown a path of diminishing returns in long-course (LCM) swimming. Myrationale at the time was the fact that, while swimming with astraight-arm catch versus a high-elbow catch was more powerful, it hada greater metabolic or energy cost. Using this technique in LCM seemed,to me, to limit the swimmer’s options beyond 100m free.
Aswimmer can be very successful with the straight-arm option in SCYbecause the actual time spent swimming as opposed to turning was verysmall (cost issue). That changes dramatically in LCM. Enter the suitsand their effect on metabolic cost—it lowers the cost substantially—andsuddenly swimmers can sustain straight-arm technique easily over a 100mlong course. This past Olympics was a testament to that fact. You usedto see the odd high-elbow swimmer in the thick of the 50; now youdon’t. They used to be in the thick of the 100; now they’re rare. Youused to have 200-meter swimmers competing in the 100m—and in many caseswinning that event—but not anymore. 100m races are dominated bystraight-arm [url=http://www.beatsbydreaudio.co.uk]Dre Beats Cheap[/url]
I have to wonder. How manyother changes like this will come about in the next few years as thesport continues to evolve? We have all seen swimmers with crazy frontend speed who never seem to maintain. Haven't there been a few greatshort course swimmers in the past who just couldn't break through onthe world scene because they didn't excel in long course at the samelevel? Are we going to start studying their technique through differentglasses?
I personally can't wait to see Phelps focus on sprints.Even if it doesn't work out to be as spectacular as his 8 goldperformance, or as awesome to watch as his 400 IM in Beijing, it willat least add some spice to the world swimming scene. Everyone wants tobe the one to beat Phelps at a major meet, and the sprints are stillwide open as it stands now. It might take a major change for Phelps torise to the top in the world of the fast-twitch. Fitness won't be theissue for him, nor will be his ability to maintain technique.Generating sprinting power and explosive speed is where he will see hisgreatest advances and it will be fun to see what he is doing to reachthe next level.
Of course, I am making a pretty big assumptionhere about the straight arm thing, and we all know what happens when wedo that. :)

Come summer, we recommend you the most HOT ! , whether black or green are so bright! with a unique lace, wearing makes you more sexy. Relation links :Vibram Five FingerBlogs - Chris DeSantis - Movin On Up! (To That Deluxe Psyche Sheet In Omaha) on F
If you think that my first post this week will cover the meets this weekend and who seems to be improving their chances going into Omaha, I have just one thing to tell you. You know me too well! It seems crazy that there was this much fast swimming this weekend, just three weeks from the big one, yet there was. If you missed or had trouble keeping up, here's a little cheat sheet for a couple swimmers who are trending upward after this weekend.
Allison Schmitt: Allison decided to contest the 200 free in Omaha, and among some pretty good performances, this one stood out. Coming into 2008, Allison was on the outside looking in for a potential individual swim in Beijing. Her best time in 2007 was a 1:59.36 at the Japan International Meet. While that time put her in relay contention, it was still well off the pace of Natalie Coughlin, Katie Hoff or even Kate Zeigler. In 2008, Schmitt has been steamrolling since the Missouri Grand Prix. At that meet she posted a solid 1:59.72 in the 200 free. At the Toyota Grand Prix at OSU, she would improve her season best to 1:59.37. At Santa Clara, she broke through with a best time in 1:58.23. Finally, this past weekend in Omaha she was 1:57.48. That time will most likely seed her fourth, just a tenth behind Coughlin should Natalie try the 200 in Omaha. Schmitt is also very young for a middle distance freestyler at just 17. She should be one to watch in Nebraska.
Garrett Weber-Gale: Ok, I know that this past weekend wasn't the fastest meet for Weber-Gale. Yet what I noticed is that all of a sudden 48 in the 100 freestyle is becoming the norm for him. Weber-Gale's big meet in all the Olympic lead up was at the All-American meet in Austin. There he established himself as a favorite in both the 50 (21.93) and the 100 (48.50). This past weekend he was just 22.19/48.91 at the Texas Senior Circuit event. It may seem hard to believe, but Weber-Gale had never been 48 going into this year. And while it seems like he's been around forever, partly due to making the team in 2004, he's just 22 years old, young for a male sprinter. There was a lot of hype surrounding Weber-Gale coming out of high school after he nearly broke Joe Hudepohl's then high school 100 free record with a 43.49 in 2003. Fans anticipated he would keep surging to the top of the heap in American sprinting. Progress, to the contrary, has come slow and steady. From 2004 to 2008, he would go from 49.6 to 49.0 in the 100 free [url=http://www.vibramfivefingersoutlets.com/]Vibram Five Finger[/url]
http://www.vibramfivefingersoutlets.com/
, chipping away year by year. Finally the breakthrough came at the All-American meet, and Weber Gale proved this past weekend that his March performances were no fluke.Lastly, I think Nathan Adrian deserves some credit for continuing to progress in the right direction this past weekend. Adrian, like Weber-Gale, garnered attention for sprinting very well at a young age. This weekend he swam 22.01/49.0 at the Omaha test event. His bests from 2007 were 22.76/50.01. He is even younger than Weber-Gale. In fact, if anyone knows whether there has ever been a 19 year old who was 49.0 in the 100 free, I'd be interested. Ian Thorpe could be a possibility but I am having trouble remembering any others. When I posed the question a couple months ago as to whether the French men should be considered the favorites in the 4x100 relay in Beijing, I set off a wave of panic in my office at Penn. We were worried about the state of American sprinting. After this weekend, there's a lot less to worry about.
