SwimSwam Swimming News reported by Braden Keith.
Watch as Swedish Swimmer Sarah Sjostrom crushes the World Record with a 24.43 in the women’s 50 butterfly.
This stroke is comparatively much more shallow, with a higher turnover, but this is similar to what we see from men’s 50 butterfliers as well: the stroke becomes more freestyle-like. Sjostrom’s sprint fly, like her free, is very flat, with virtually no “bounce” to her stroke. Not taking a breath contributes to that, but it makes for a very efficient stroke.

Maybe she can go a 55.5? I think she can if she works her front speed, hopefully she wont too much like Soni did at the 2009 world championships!!;)
She’s Amazing!! I wonder if she’s done Hypoxic training??
her stroke slowed down is still fast darn it
What?!?!? NO BREATHING? Yikes! Whaaa?
Congrats to her! I guess WR’s *are* falling in the Textile era.
Wonder if many other top flyers will now try to copy Sarah’s strategy.
There’s an underwater camera around the 12m mark. Any chance of getting hold of that footage?
I will check swedish TV later today to see if i can find UW footage!
That up kick!
