They should have spoken with us first before they conducted this study :)
I think which event analyzed is critical.
I'd like to see an analysis of Sun Yang's stroke vs a few of the world's fastest 50 meter sprinters. Or compare Yang's stroke at different times during his 1500 at last year's Worlds - from above and below water say at the 800 meter mark and then later at the 1490 meter mark.
I just thought of the change in Nathan Adrian's stroke during a 100 free -at 30 meters vs his last 5 meters.
