FINA Breastroke Question

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?

  • Maybe???if the kick is on entry it could be a "legitimate" part of the start. 2 kicks is just cheating. The fact the judges can't/won't call it doesn't make it right. Paul,please stop sniping at *** or I'll have to go back to calling long axis the Axis of Evil":thhbbb: :thhbbb: :thhbbb: I think there should be no dolphin in breaststroke. I'd be OK with a rule change to allow one to swim the first 15 M each length underwater BREASTSTROKE. I agree! Nothing wrong with a 15 meter rule. Allen: There are some of us who are half 'n half types. ;) I see Lisogor beat Hansen in the 50 ***. If I recall correctly, he is one of the double dolphin cheaters. I will watch it later tonight.
