Which elite swimmer should we analyze next?

She actually lost the goggles in another race also, and when the reporter asked her how she managed to win that one when she didn't see where to flip-turn, she answered "I just counted my strokes". 😎

Her 24.4 50m FLY World Record is absolutely insane! 2.5% faster than anyone else! 🔥

As a swimmer girl in Sweden who has Sarah Sjöström as my idol I can say that I appreciated this video

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED SHE DIDNT BREATHE ONCE DURING THAT RACE???!?!?

I love this style of swimming, especially in the ocean, when the movement of the waves becomes your friend 🏊‍♂️

One major difference with Sarah and the other swimmers is that she executes the second kick of the stroke a little earlier. This counteracts the upper bodys upward movement and pushes it forward instead. I discovered this myself on a swim practice when I was 16 and wow, the difference in power was amazing. Next swim meet after that I cut over 2 seconds on 100 fly. I'm shocked many swimmers don't know this technique. And no coach ever told me, I found it out myself through experimenting with the timing

Although you have skillfully isolated and analyzed many of the finer points of Sjöström's fly stroke, I believe you may have overlooked the central source of her relatively "flat" butterfly: namely, her "quiet" head position. The majority of accomplished butterfliers -- think Phelps, Dressel, Shields, Maggie MacNeil, and others -- begin the downward torso press with the forehead/head, followed by the chest. It's not uncommon to hear "lead with the forehead, then press the chest" to generate a powerful body dolphin. How deep or how shallow the head presses downward largely determines the amplitude (up and down) of the body dolphin motion. Watching Sjöström you will notice that her head presses very little, if at all: her head remains uncharacteristically quiet! She maintains a relatively neutral/quiet head position throughout her butterfly (both under and on the surface of the water). As I see it, this "quiet" head is what accounts for her relatively "flat" butterfly. As the saying goes, "whereever the head goes, the body will follow." It's also interesting to note that even though she swims fly quite flat, she uses a relatively high arm recovery (relatively because of the "flatness"), hands above elbows, elbows above shoulders.... Maglischo, Gary Hall Sr., Marsh and others have pointed out how important this is to generate a powerful pull -- and few buttefliers can match Sarah's pull! A very quiet head coupled with a high arm recovery appear to be key elements of Sjöström's butterfly. Just a thought.... Nice job with this, and other "analysis" videos!!

This is the best swim channel in KZfaq

Sarah at 6 ft is the complete package. Butterfly is a power stroke. Weight training is essential.

These are great, an analysis of world champions stroke. The amount she undulates is very little compared to most of us. I think by implementing some aspects of her technique can only help. Thanks do more of this type of breakdown of the worlds best

I wish I could explain the pronunciation of the letter "ö" in writing. Instead, I can tell you that Sjöström would translate to lake (Sjö) current (ström) making her last name rather fitting for a swimmer.

Thank you very much coach for showing us the useful technique for butterfly

I didn't know the butterfly swimming arm position, but your vedeo helped me to learn the right position. Fast movement is important

She didn't breathe towards the end of the race, therefore she didn't break her stroke line & so didn't waste time rising & having to recover the flow. So her key to winning is hold her breath for as long as possible.

Thank you for this video. I'm going to put into practice those tips tomorrow.

Such a great analysis!

I think when you go faster wider movements creats more drag than thrust.Thats why she swims like that.It's like gliders with bigger wings and low speeds at the other hand look at speed rockets with very small wings.

Like the dry land exercises too

That was the best thing I’ve ever seen on your videos

Thanks for a super instructive video!

Super SWEde & Super Video ✌ I just started Train 4 Triathlon and do 1600m/3w, and this Video gave my Great Inspiration! Thanks 4 Sharing! (Yes, I'm also a SWEde:) ✌

Why not update Sarah Sjöströms new WR from last week and that she now has more medals than Phelps! 🏁🥇🥇🏆

My thoughts are that of course her pull is awesome, looking at the pitch of her hands and how well she swims freestyle, no one should question her pulling ability. However I feel the real reason her hands travel backwards without any out sweep is because her kick is so active. Also a flyer that uses her (or his) pull as a dominant aspect usually performs better in a 200 fly, as the upper body dominant swims are more durable than kick driven flyers. If you look at her 50 fly, compared to her 100 fly, and her 200 fly, you see a notable drop in performance. When you look at her freestyle swims you don't see such a drop. Anyways I would state her kick is the driving force of her stroke over and above her pull

Nice vid as always!

Great! Thanks a lot!

Thank you for the content! Your videos are educational AND entertaining to me. I look forward to contributing.

I've never seen someone rotate their arms so fast in butterfly.

Congrats for the video

literally was impressive could you please next time analize manadou l love it thank you

Great as always! Happy new year!

like surfboard plus thrust

The amount of bosu ball stability work I used to do in elite squad this video gives me ptsd 😄

I am so happy for you

11:10 I tgought that at first aswell but I think that extension could be on purpose

Can u pls make a video on how we can improve out long two beat kick I butterfly pls

When she recovers her hands, hands are pulled way behind much. Is it good?

Can you analyze the different types of dolphin kicks that exist and analyze which are some examples, what are some characteristics of each ,and which would be the best, the strongest ,and the most preferable.

Hands are not entering at 11and 1 o'clock. they enter slightly wider than vertical from their shoulders. critical difference.

Parabéns.

Where is sarah sjöström from?

It looks like she doesn't glide at all after hand entry, is that true?

hi nice content! can you then deal with Sarah's style?

❤️

Which Video editor are you using. I want to be avle to draw while the video is going. Best regards!

Help me understand how that's an efficient dive. It seems she entered the water so deep that she has a lot more distance to swim than if she had had a shallower dive.

Dopo aver visto questo video, molto bello veramente, ogni volta che nuoterà delfino mi sentirò estremamente ridicolo ...🤪🤪🤪

bruh butterfly is insanely hard

She swims like Cavić!

I was surprised that they had other swimmers holding the Swiss ball for them. I thought that it was done without help. s

Hi, I was wondering what app do you use to analyze the stroke (lines, arrows, degrees etc) thank you. Love your videos!

I notice that in your butterfly videos you always say not to sweep your hands outwards after entering the water before starting your pull, but then you show mostly videos of people doing what looks like that. Am I misunderstanding what is happening? Like at 5:38

Augh

7:53

You are Robert Dauni

Joseph schooling 🙏

I was forced agaisnt my will to watch this

Your description of this exercise kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orWqjKiArs7ToHU.html mentions the hamstrings and calves being activated. The exercise does little for those muscles.

24.4 in 50 yards? No, she did it in a 50 meter pool. (At 7:20 in the video)

how i can buy t-shirt from this video?

"Choistrom"? That is some extreme butchering of Swedish going on right there! When in doubt, "Show-stromm" is all we expect. If you manage to move that "sh" back and make it "chow-stromm" with the same "ow", that's an instant B+.

oi

.

he looks like iron man

Ew

زحمات زیادی جهت توضیح انجام صحیح شناها میکشین دس مریزاد.

Her body position is incredibly flat. But I wonder if she would introduce more "out sweep" and more body undulations and perhaps less stroke rate as the distance gets longer?
