So, I watched some of the Australia meet events tonight and I have a question concerning breastroke.
I watched in slow-mo about 10 times and I swear the breastrokers are taking two dolphin kicks on the dive entry before the now-legal one big dolphin kick. Is this now legal also, the two small little dolphin kicks?

I might be the only one that noticed this but....
It seems to me like after the start it takes the judges quite some time to get up to the edge of the pool and actually start watching the swim. I know the bubbles and whatnot from the start make it hard to see these small kicks but maybe part of the problem is also that the judges aren't in a position to see them when they happen.
Also, as to video cameras...when do you use them? In the NFL they are used to overturn calls that are made. Am I right in assuming people want a review of every single lane in every race in the finals? That seems overly burdensome to me. Just watch the start/turn? What if I cheat in the middle?
I think that video could be useful insofar as it allows judges to make closer calls because they know it will be video reviewed. But to review every single swim seems like a waste to me. Just my two cents.
