Any old dogs out there trying new tricks? Any younger generation masters swimmers swimming this way?

"In watching the Olympics, we can't help but notice the impact that "lopers" are having in freestyle. While high-rate freestylers and straight-arm freestylers have been getting the most attention this year for the speeds they've achieved, lopers are certainly making a HUGE impact."

FWIW, and not really related to loping: That 2007 World Champs WR 200 Free is still my favorite individual Phelps race -- more than any of his Oly swims.
What Phelps does to PVDH on that third wall and last lap just shouldn't be possible. What do you think was going through PVDH's head coming out of the last turn as he watched Phelps rocket forward? He must have been dumfounded. And listen to the crowd react as Phelps surfaces--awesome.
I remember reading that PVDH announced the removal of the 2-free from his lineup at the press conference that day, fully and graciously conceding that he got irrevocably dominated in the race. Phelps SDK'd him into retirement. So bad-a$$.
