4. When was the change of technique 2
Do you remember "Fushiuki" ? Version 1.
1984
Do you remember "Fushiuki" ? Version 2.
2008
How is the differences ?
Did you compere 1984's with 2008's one how to use their belly ?
So "Fusiuki" equals streamline.
Around the year 2000, the techniques of swim quite changed.
It's amazed that It's completely opposite.
- the swimming form of one central axes
- the S shape pull
Until the 1990 years, these Techniques were the absolute truth like the Bible.
But now, swimmer don't used that.
Not only no use but also it's even an bad form example.
It's an good example. The Sydney 2000 Summer Olympic Games.
I mean the mixed old one and new one.
(For example, lane 1 is the typical old type stroke.)
400M Freestyle stroke - Final (2000)
Ian Thorpe is swimming to use new type technique, but some others use old type technique.
Oh, you might think that is only the freestyle stroke.
No, no, no, no
It's the same other style stroke.
You'll understand when see below the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
100M Breast stroke - Final (2008)
The right-hand swimmer is Kosuke Kitajima who are the first man got Gold Medals 100M and 200M breast stroke in the same Olympic Games and besides He got two times in 2004 and 2008.
Did you see ? his belly.
What is the differences "Fusiuki" and "streamline" ?
Of course, it's quite same.
