For what it's worth - though I haven't kept track (Ande probably did though) - I think that some O.Records and W.Records still got beaten in London this year, and that in spite of a drastic change in term of swim suits (especially for males).
This, objectively speaking, is a fair indication that the Swimming World, at least for those nations that perform well (US, Great Britain, China, Australia etc) don't need that much of a drastic change after all. If Rushall is born and based in the US, considering that the US outperformed China once again in spite of having only a fraction of China's population, I find it a bit ironic to raise flags and ring alarms like he usually does.
He's an activist.
Or, perhaps more records would fall, and possibly by greater margins, with different training methods? I don't have the answers, but I don't think that a continuation of records falling is reason to accept that our current training methods are the best to be had.
