Compare what he's done recently to, say, Tiger Woods. Tiger has been "at the top of his game" pretty much ever since he turned pro, yet he continues to reinvent himself and just keeps getting better. He's completely dismantled his stroke a couple times. Like a golf swing, I would guess a sprinter's stroke is a very ballistic movement. That is, once you set it in motion it moves too fast to make mid-course corrections. Is there any evidence that maybe Sullivan has been "tinkering" with his stroke?

Without a doubt, Sullivan has improved his technique...
This is a hybrid of Popov/Nystrand. Look at his body/arm position, and the EDF starting at the chest, not to mention the incredible "cross-over" at the bottom

Does anyone have video of the 21.28?
