EAMON Sullivan breaks 50 LCM FREE WR again in 21.28

The start has also changed... Did you see how Sullivan did dolphin kick right to the surface, he didn't start the flutter as usual before breaking through... I wonder how much that counts? Not to mention it was quick dolphin up to the top, not very many SDK's at all.. Now I'll make a consession here, maybe if there was PED involved we wouldn't also see the breakthrough's in technique... just more power... although, that's not what I'm seeing... There really is a difference in the overall technical components of the race. That's the question isn't it? Performance Enhancing Drugs don't enhance ones technique. They provide more power. Sullivan has fantastic technique and is definitely improved from where he was a few years back. As for Stephanie Rice, she has always had the talent to be a world class swimmer she has always oozed it and showed flashes of great things, she's always had great technique on all her strokes. But she has been notoriously lackadaisical with her swimming and never seemed like she would fulfil it. She has likely only recently decided to buckle down and give it her full attention, possibly as a result of being around Sullivan whom would have an excellent work ethic and as such is fulfilling the potential that was always there. She is hardly a moderately gifted swimmer that has come from nowhere like some people mention.
