In the finals of the 1500 at Worlds, I noticed that all of the swimmers were breathing on the first stroke coming out of their turns instead of taking a pull with the deeper arm and breathing on the second stroke. Any thoughts?

I think Sun Yang is similiar to The Albatross. Here is that crazy 1984 4x200 where Hayes pulled out an amazing performance, but I am linking it so you can see Michael Gross breathing on the first stroke.

Gross was listed at 6'7" with a wingspan of nearly 7', and I understand Sun Yang is 6'6" with a notably big wingspan as well.
