first, he is a distance swimmer, not a sprinter or IM swimmer, so start and turn are not the most important factor to dominate these distances, but endurance, stable stroke timing. second, he dont need to focus excessively on start and deep turn or taking many butterfly kicks off each wall because he himself swims pretty fast on water surface

This guy's the new standard in swimming. The Sun will Yang on Swimming.

1:20 I hear a 20-year-old K-pop. / Song: Candy(1996) by H.O.T

He still swims better than all of us :/ I wish i was in his shoes

he still do and he won everything against the Korean.

also note the legs in the final lap

@343596 Phelps's is not the world record holder, Paul Biederman from Germany...

Currently, Top 3 of 200 freestylers are Yannick Agnel, Sun Yang and Park Tae Hwan

@epofreak We'll find out next month!

Well, if his turns are so bad, he must be pretty darn quick getting from one end of the pool to the other!

@globalswim, I've been wondering about that too. Like he just doesn't know how to dolphin kick. But I think there must be a reason why he breathes so much. It's probably to limit oxygen debt to maximize his power during the actual swim phase. It's a distance swimmer mentality that he might need to get rid of to do well in the 200s and 400s. His starts are really poor as well. But he's only 19 haha. give him a break.

If he did 1.44.99 with such horrible turns and horrible start, im sure at the moment he will improve it he'll beat all the WR from 200~1500.

he won....

1:44 is quick!! thats only like two tenths of of tae hwan's best.. would have been right behind lochte and phelps at worlds

@globalswim Yes we'll do. And honestly, I don't even support Biedermann that much, I prefer Phelps ^^

the chinese thorpe?

@globalswim Guess we found out, huh?

@globalswim same do the others :)

beiliveme1 How was his start or turns bad? His start seemed pretty standard to me...

Didn't look bad. Though I don't understand the double breath after the turn. I wonder if he actually inhales on both sides, or if he is just looking at the other racers, or what.

dolphin kicking out from flip turn is slow. is a myth!

What have Biedermann done without super-suits? :v

@epofreak Haha, Biederman will definitely not win this year, he no longer has the fast suit!

So Sun Yang AGAIN breathes every 3 off each wall and loses to the Korean. He'll never learn...

in next week! ahah

De-fuckin-stroyed

@globalswim Germany winning! :D

he can without biederman's suit

off of*

that makes no sense. he's a horrible swimmer even though he's the fastest over a range of distances (400~1500). i agree that he def needs to work on all that shit you mentioned, but calling him a horrible swimmer is just idiotic. he's an incredible swimmer

even though he broke a WR hes still a horrible swimmer bad turns bad start horrible kick underwater need to work on that
