Leisel Jones has a more flatter non-wave style breaststoke. This style isn't advocated yet Jones won both beaststrokes at worlds and is now the holder of the women's 200 meter breaststroke.
Is does anyone support her style of breaststroke out there.
I think the trend in breaststroke is to flater,just as it is in fly.Kitajima was not as flat at Worlds as at the Olympics and he was slower.Hansen was flater and would have been faster than last year at Trials if he had timed his turns and finish better.What surprises me most about Jones is how far she is pulling her arms back. She,and to a lesser extent the other Aussie women,are pulling their arm back notably further than the top men.I wonder if this is a peculiarity of hers that the others are copying,or is it a good idea? Interestingly,it seemed to me she didn't pull quite as far back this year as last and she was faster this year.
