Noticing more frequent use of grab starts in Beijing...
Former Member
Notably by the Chinese female swimmer, and it's combined with tremendous water entries and SDK's ... I'd say almost Coughlin caliber underwaters and theyr'e coming up on the fielkd, but no one is talking about it.
Look at their entries in the 200 free. In the 100, Pang jumped so take her slight reaction time out of it and she still is well up after the SDK's.
Notice also that Lenton of Australia used the conventional grab start, as do several other of her country women.
In one particular Chinese sprinter (Le?), she squats with her but down quite low for her stance, which would seem very slow off the block. At 15 meters though she is ahead.
Any thoughts?

Tracy, don't do it.
My right rotator has hurt since 1987! But as long as I can live with it and swim breaststroke I am happy NOT going under the knife.
One time I had a doctors physical, he notices my left pec muscle was close to on inch thicker than the right one. I had to laugh, it was from thousands of lengths of one armed (left one didn't hurt) butterfly. I did do some right armed ones , just not often. I go to bed with a SalonPas on the shoulder, and take glucosamine for my knees and shoulder. Some days I have to take naprosim.
Good luck.
