Impeccable technique.
His head/face is in the same position… On all different pictures!
He’s incredibly beautiful in the water, perhaps too beautiful to win big titles. Next year is perhaps for him. But be careful, Ryan Murphy is coming.
I love watching him swim! So smooth, and such flawless technique. And he gives hope to those of us of smaller stature.
