I am based in Latin America and need to browse Internet channels from several sources in order to access live feed. So far so good. But this will not work for the 4x100 men&#39;s free relay video. So maybe some kind soul would be willing to record that video for the rest of us (:violin:) ??<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/101875?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 14 Aug 2008 08:18:03 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b7f435a1-1494-467b-8f9a-35681683f805art_zis it just me, or was Lezak breathing every stroke right from the get go?<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/102104?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 14 Aug 2008 07:04:37 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:2e6cf70e-2ac1-41a6-b38c-44ba2ea62c79art_zJust curious - Does a draftee know that a drafter is free-riding? Isn&#39;t the draftee focused greatly on getting to the wall, so should not be looking behind? Can you feel someone drafting? VB no, you can&#39;t feel them drafting. Think of it this way, the wave behind as you swim is like a sound wave coming out of your mouth. There is no indication that the sound wave from your mouth was heard or felt by the person speaking. There is no physical feedback from your wake either. I think Bernard didn&#39;t even realized he was on the lane line. Curious if Lezak would have won without the draft.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/101980?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 14 Aug 2008 05:11:34 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:d27452bb-1939-420e-996f-42422b21c2baFormer Memberbernard looks over at lezak on his second to last stroke. He did it in the 100 free too. Also, he huged the lane line next to lezak, allowing lezak to catch a draft. That makes about 0 sense to me.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/102081?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 14 Aug 2008 01:20:36 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:0a13e210-5cda-4362-913a-3d8b830bda6aViveBeneJust curious - Does a draftee know that a drafter is free-riding?

Thanks NBC for embracing established video standards that allow viewing from any compatible program......oh wait......... Not only that but the software doesn&#39;t work on all cpu types, including my AMD processor (not the latest) which it says is lacking some instruction set or other.

Sullivan has a problem with his left thumb sort of flying out and Lezak swims with almost a spread-fingered style. you think that would be less efficient. water has surface tension, so unless the fingers are spread wide there is no loss of grip over a cupped hand. check out popov&#39;s thumbs.. having them wide didn&#39;t cause any problems and i&#39;ve heard some say that there was some benefit to be had by spreading the web between thumb and fore finger.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/101565?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:26:57 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:9ffa744d-4a62-46e7-bf99-e149763fc141Former MemberThought it was interesting how many guys, including Sullivan and Lezak, don&#39;t keep their fingers together on the catch and pull.

You can really make a study in Sprint Free swimming out of this single video. Both Bousquet and Bernard don&#39;t really have a high elbow catch at all - it&#39;s very straight under water - pure force. Sullivan has alomst no bubbles on his hands - pure catch. Interesting to see how Phelps sprints and tries to get his turnover up.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/100946?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 13 Aug 2008 08:37:45 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:c7b5994b-e5cb-4904-933e-27c13196b39bFormer Memberha, i was just about to post this.

Bernard was windmilling that last lap. It seems he swims the 100 the exact same way he swims the 50... windmilling and pure force.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
