The 400 (or 4x100 as they like to say) free relay should be very interesting in Beijing.
Alain seems to have a fairly traditional stroke. The short segment they showed underwater it didn't look like he used a very high elbow position. It seemed like his arms were almost straight.
Yup I noticed that too and on replay it looked like his right arm had a very slight elbow bend (not EVF and not EDF by any streatch) and his left arm was even straighter. Yet his arm recovery looked very smooth.
