How rude is that commentator asking if Moorhouse would try to cheat with a then- illegal dolphin kick on a turn? Moorhouse has been DQed previously BUT the underwater footage was widely viewed afterwards and NO infringement was spotted.....
7:30. Didn't notice this back in '88. Volkov does a slingshot and pike start. The slingshot is common today though way ahead of its time back then! Thanks for posting.
I noticed, that these swimmers along with the women swimmers here and today comes out of the water higher, than say a Renate Vogel who the Breaststroke at the 73 Worlds much closer to the surface of the water. You look at Vogel's stroke and it is very odd looking.
Starts were so bad back then, but big difference in how they swim breast here compared to 1984. Here the head position is more modern where they go all the way in to streamline. In '84 they swam with their head up and top of their head out of the water.
Rule changed in '87 to requiring the head only to break the surface by the completion of the arm pull. Thought with more streamlined technique they'd take a better run at the WR, swum with head above surface entire race in '84.
Pelham Higgins right I only just noticed that. I’ve seen footage of Kornelia Ender doing the same and wondering if it’s an Eastern Bloc thing since Moorhouse trained in Russia as well?
These commentators are giving a historical knowledge! thanks for the upload!
Many thanks for the upload :-)
