      @lukemiao4454 9 лет назад +105

      no he doesn't do 56s for 100m, if he did his time would be 14:00, he does around a 58 per 100 to get to 14:30 but that's still insanely fast

      RxgIaNt44 43 is kind of rough but you are starting out. Keep it at it bud, I am 5.7 and made it to state 2x with 1:04 in 100 breaststroke. The awesome thing about swimming is that the more you work (and this includes technique) the better you get. Good luck and always remember that girls in bathing suits are a lot better than a room full of sweaty guys : D

      I don't know if you swim but I can give you some piece of advise. I am a person who started swimming seriously just a year ago and I was able to swim 200 meters before I die. Now I am able to swim for at least 2 straight ours or over 7 kilometers. The secret is in the pace. You need to try to start very slowly and then increase the tempo over time. Also I can do the same thing with medley. The secret is in the frequent training, slow pace and commitment. Good luck.

    He is measured, and paced, taking longer, smoother strokes, with less splash on entry than the others.

However, most of the kicks are light, almost like stabilizer kicks (with some propulsion), then two of them are stronger, to help turn the body most likely. Thanks for the clarification. Most of the kicks look like he's kicking once with one leg strongly, then two small kicks on the other side, followed by another strong kick, making a total of three kicks with one leg. Maybe this has something to do with balancing out the alternating breathing sides?

    I'd like to see the athletes' heart rate to compare how much efficiently they're swimming. It seems Sun Yang doesn't even dolphin kick after flip turns, but is faster than the swimmer at lane 3 who does couple of dolphin kicks after every flip turn.

There is no evidence Sun took that supplement before the Olympic Game in London 2012, much like there is no evidence Hackett, Thorpe, and Phelps took that supplement. Oh wait, Thorpe wore his tights that covers all his body, which decreases coefficient of friction which is malicious for only his wearing it and Sun's supplement was affirmed by WADA later.

    There’s 0 evident of him cheating, his results were all official and excuses were to be made on each of the two test failures. People are saying that he is a cheater with no evidence, just to save face and find reasons for their own athlete’s’ bad performance. Sun was one of the most tested athletes and it’s clear that its impossible to cheat on any world level competition. Sun Yang is the second most decorated swimmer of all time according to individual world titles, and he is the best freestyler in history. Maybe his personal behavior is not the greatest, but everyone should definitely be looking up to his swimming skills.

      he is 1.98 I say, so that gives out 50/1.98=25.25, Which I would say a balanced even stroke in which to be more energy saving for the final sprint.

    • @bransan97
      @bransan97 9 лет назад

      Qiuyuan Chen Wat do you mean with that calculation it makes no sense at all to me? I think you want to say that he dont need to swim so many strokes becouse he is tall. But I still dont understan the calculation.
      Anyway Its about arm span and shoe size and not how tall the person is. But tall persons more often have a bigger shoe size and wider armspan and thats why the reason why the best swimmers often is tall. But even if you calculate that it still makes no sense becouse its also about the body position and stroke technique. That can affect the number of strokes a lot.

    • @QiuyuanChenRyan916
      @QiuyuanChenRyan916 9 лет назад +1

      The Arm span is almost equals or longer than body length which is common for swimmers. Thus each one of two stroke would give him a full body length of traveling or a bit more than that.

      @@elasticpotato2974 i thought it was 3 years and tbh the accusation was a bit fishy. The ppl checking his blood were not following protocol. Ur supposed to have 2 officials from the olympic committee but one of the ppl checking sun yang was not from the committee. Sun yang noticed this and asked to check his work card showing that he was part of the committee and naturally the person didnt have one. Sun yang called his lawyer and his lawyer told him to not let the “officials” take his blood sample. This part is kinda weird: sun yang told them not to use the blood sample, to destroy the sample and take a new one with actual officials there. He would not let them test it until there were 2 officials present. Pretty normal. Then i assume there was some conflict or smt because he destroyed the bag and obviously it seemed like he was hiding smt so he got banned for three years. He could’ve appealed but his lawyer is pretty bad so he didn’t tell sun yang about appealing.
