He does have a little more up and down motion than I think is optimal,but not so much as to be a stroke flaw.It seems to work for him.He has a very strong pull which seems to be his big strength.Since he seems pull dominant the lack of glide in the 100 makes sense(except he died at the end and mistimed his touch.Maybe with more glide he would have finished stronger.)Look at the guy next to him in the 50,he got an amazing start.I'd really like underwater shots to do stroke analysis.
