I was just watching the Semis and Final of the 50m Free at the World Champs in Japan in 2001 and noticed that none of the competitors seemed to be breathing at all. Is this standard practice for a 50 Free at this level? Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch

Very little breathing is VERY normal at that level. The more you breathe = more wasted time.
I remember way back when....I could swim the 50 free (SCY) with 0-1 breaths. LCM with 1-2 breaths.
Not anymore.
