Ian Thorpe is a gift from the Ocean Gods. Please don't sink the ships Thorpedo!
one of the best videos ever. unlike some of the other videos, this one shows beautiful underwater footage that lets you examine the swimmers strokes in detail. there are very few other videos that offer the same angle. i frequently come back and refer to this video to examine, analyze and study thorpe's and hackett's strokes. thank you so much for posting. much appreciated.
thorpe swims so smoothly,almost no watter plashing up unlike the others
It's probably just his personal style (what he feels is enough to stabilize his body). On a side note, kicking doesn't provide much
propulsion relative to it's energy cost so for the distance races it's just used as stabilization, only near the end will they use a 6 beat to try and bring it home.
do u have the video included all six competitions Thorpe participated and won?
thz for sharing though
Was that the pool that was later found to be a smidge of 50 meters? So Thorpe swam more than 800m.
He also just swam 1 minute ago in another race
thorpe is sooooo hot! ;) and a wonderful swimmer, he is practically my idol until now
It's all a matter of leg strength and preference. Thorpe has freakishly strong legs, so he can kick quite a bit more than most can. Also, kicking with a broken 4 beat helps with the timing of the arms.
David Popovici 16yr 100m 47.30 with 2 kicks.
You can doub it, but continous kcking its really energy consuming. Little swimmers can mantain erficient continuous kicking in 800m race.
race starts at 3:00
@hotjulio123 i think that Chinese guy that broke the 800 free record is the best for long races, much better than Mellouli.
To save energy.
city of WA?
well there are swimmers who find it easier to kick and there are swimmers who find it easier to kick less(2 beat kick). some swimmers use the 6 beat kick even when warming down and swimming easy myself being one of them. for me it's normal using the 6 beat kick the entire time and it doesn't consume much of my energy. i think thorpe is the same. however most of my teammates don't do this. my point is it comes down to the swimmer and what makes him feel comfortable

what I meant is that he should kick consitently (not fast), instead of kick, kick, kick, not kick (when he glides after he breathes). Because he still kicks, but skips one every now and then. If you look at Thorpe he kicks consistently. If you get what I mean.
@hotjulio123 park won i saw that race 3'41'' hackett was there too,but he didn't get nothing.
Lol I wouldn't be able to tell who's beating me when I'm swimming like that running a lot more obvious
hope that was sarcasm or sport has gone down a very dark path :(
truuuchhhoooo con trajeeeee gana seguro!!!
you don't say
Do you even swim? Think of it this way. If it was really beneficial to kick the whole way, why do Sun Yang (the current WR holder in the mile) and Grant Hackett (the greatest distance swimmer of all time) not kick the whole way? See, it is more efficient to not kick. Kicking uses up a huge amount of energy, but offers no real propulsion. Have you ever noticed that you cannot flutter kick faster than you can pull?
Haha, he's not where'd you get that from?
it's very inefficient. I seriously doubt it's to "save energy".
Saba T - kicking at full pace is very tiring. All distance swimmers hardly kick
i still think swimming is mostly clean, at liest in the pro section of the sport
and sport is about sport not about money, even the guys who take doping do it more to become better in what they do than to just earn more
but surely the anti-doping system has to evolve and keep up with the cheaters
Lol
Hackets kicks suck. why does he stop kicking when he breathes?
