Well This topic is about the most beaufiful stroke, not the greatest performer.
it's no that Egerszegi is awful :) simply I like to see Coventry more.
I remember watching Kristina's Olympic races in awe. She always blew everyone away!
But those were the days when I hated backstroke - never swam it except to recover from the fly in the IM - and I was not a swim coach to appreciate her technique.
I do remember that she had an unusual stroke, but she was so much faster than anyone she had to be doing something right.
The clips I have seen are not great, but I am interested in what she was doing that was so superior. She did seem to dolphin off the turns which was a new concept then.
