Worthwhile Article That Was Lost in "The Fastest Age" Thread/Saga
Former Member
I put up this post in the "The Fastest Age" thread. I should have put it here in the first place so it would not get buried. Here's what I originally posted for those who might be interested.
To digress a bit if I may, the Baltimore Sun has been running a series of articles on Michael Phelps. On March 8, 2004, the paper ran an article The Measure of a Swimmer. You can access it by clicking here.
It's a fascinating story, IMHO, and I thought that I would share it with my friends in the USMS Forum. Unfortunately, the underwater pictures, which were in color, are not included in the article. They were especially great. It was good to see Doc Counsilman mentioned in the article, too. I submit this article only for your reading interest and not for debate.
Kindest regards,
Mark
I thought it was a very interesting article-- thanks for sharing it. I don't understand what is meant here tho...
"The dolphin kick, ...
Phelps wasn't advanced enough to use it at the 2000 Olympics. "
Unless they meant he wasn't using it in non-butterfly strokes?
