  • Ye Shiwen and Sun Yang both seem to really focus on getting a ton of air and saving as much of their anaerobic energy stores for the end of the race. It seems to be working amazingly well for them! Getting a ton of air as some secret for success? If that was the case, every 10/under would be setting records daily. There is nothing you read about these swimmers that indicates some ground breaking training or unique abilities. The latest I read was that she will do 10K meters a day if her coach wants her to. Big whoop, that's been par for the course for 40+ years. Big hands, breathing more, crappy walls, where's the uniqueness? Then again, if I have to listen to one more story about Lochte and his tractor tires, I'm going to officially sever all ties to NBC. Speaking of NBC when are they going to realize their broadcast model is no longer working? Thank goodness for the DVR.
