  1. Sum Nida ! On distingue nettement la légère ondulation de Sun Yang, qui bat vraiment moins des jambes qu'il "n'ondule" ! C'est là, je crois, qu'il économise le plus d'énergie. C'est de la nage libre, on fait ce qu'on veut ! Mais c'est vrai qu'on dirait un croiseur.

  2. His shoulder flexibility is incredible. Look closely at his his pulling arm. Very early in his stroke he is getting maximum "grip" on the water. His forearm / hand "paddle" reaches a position where it is fully perpendicular to his forward movement through the water VERY early in the stroke. How early? His elbow has only just reached the TOP of his head, but his forearm/hand are already in the perfect position.

    To see this, start at 1m52s (https://youtu.be/-icqAiWOlPg?t=112) then quickly start/stop the footage. Try to click through it frame by frame. Stop at about 1m55s where it is unmissable.

  3. Sun Yang has tremendous hip torque that his stroke is lengthy and that he can better set his flexible high elbow catch to pull the water early (that’s why he takes less than 30 strokes per 50 with that much speed incredible)
