Exciting Progress in Paralympian Swimmer's Technique Transformation in Just 4 Months! 🏊♂️ Witness remarkable changes in the swimming technique of our Paralympian swimmer. Despite no apparent improvement in the SWOLF metric, a closer look reveals a profound transformation. The right arm strokes have undergone a significant enhancement, showcasing a more refined stroke pattern with speed variations. The left arm strokes have also shown marked progress, with consistent maximum and minimum speeds, indicating a newfound rhythm. This enhanced rhythm is further evidenced by data demonstrating consistent stroke times and reduced deviation in Time-per-Stroke for both arms, reflecting a more purposeful approach to freestyle swimming. Noteworthy is the swimmer's growing trust in her right arm, highlighted through extensive testing aimed at addressing asymmetry issues. Various tests involving paddles and pull buoys have been conducted to compensate for physical imbalances and delve deeper into the root causes of this asymmetry. Moreover, this newfound rhythm has propelled the swimmer to meet the stringent #Paris2024 criterion for the 400m freestyle event, underscoring the tangible progress and dedication invested in this journey. myswiedge.com

Transformation of the technique in just 4 months

Paris 2024 Olympic Swimming - Submerged #2 Men’s 400 Individual Medley: This is the closest Olympic swimming comes to a one horse race. Marchand (FRA) has a “complete set” in terms of his 200m quality across all four strokes. His transitions (changing strokes) and underwater work are the best. He will excel in the breast leg and the more time he is swimming freestyle (fastest stroke) while the others are still on breaststroke (slowest stroke), he effectively doubles his lead. After the easiest 4.08 I’ve ever seen in a heat, apart from Michael Phelps (USA) and Ryan Lochte (USA), one can throw back to the 1988 Seoul Olympics and you have a comparison in Tamás Darnyi (HUN). Carsen Foster (USA) although fastest in the world this year and comfortable with a 4.11 in heats, will likely be chasing for second. Women’s 100 Fly: Another chance for McKeon (AUS) to consolidate her place as Australia’s most medal winning Olympian but she’ll be doing it from the outside lanes - plenty have done it from there. However, Walsh (USA) with her Olympic Record in the semis, Huske (USA) and Kohler (GER) with impressive second 50’s, will make things difficult. A 29. coming home will most likely win this one. Men’s 100 Breast. The focus for this event is clearly on Adam Peaty’s (GBR) ability to secure his 3rd consecutive 100m Breaststroke Olympic title. With that status comes the age question. But old breastrokers make good ones - the average age of this final is 26.1 yrs, just over 2 years older than the average age of all top male swimmers in 2022. Fink (USA) will be a serious threat, as will Kamminga (NED), Qin (CHN) and Martinenghi (ITA) - the splits of each of these athletes indicates that any challenge to Peaty will come all in the final 20m. #olympicswimming  #Paris2024

Paris 2024 Olympic Swimming - Submerged #8 Men’s 100 Butterfly: Milak (HUN) out fast and favoured for this one but may be challenged in the closing stages by Grousset (FRA), Ponti (SUI). Temple (AUS) has had a super consistent year with multiple 50. performances but will be challenged by the pure speed/strength of the top 4. A low 50. should take this one. Watch the turn and breakout (when they surface after the turn). It is critical in the 100 fly that they get well under the wave following the swimmers into the wall. Women’s 200 Individual Medley: Yu (CHN) will be out well and come back to the field in the breast. She’s vulnerable over the closing stages. McKeown: outside smoke after semis but can be in the hunt and in form. Pickrem (CAN) closed well and comfortable in semi and will challenge for medals. Walsh (USA), McIntosh (CAN) and Douglas (CAN) are in form and will most likely take at least 2 medals between them. The tell tale in this one is how they come off the wall in the last 50. If they hold down to 12m it’s a good indication of capacity on the free leg. Women’s 800 Freestyle: Ledecky (USA), although not at her best, will likely win this one. Her 1500 suggests she will hit under 8:08. Madden (USA) and Titmus (AUS) will fight for medals but will find it hard to beat the endurance capability of Ledecky. Of interest will be Pallister (AUS), who has made the come back of the week from Covid and missing the 1500, only to take gold in the 4 x 200. She now finds herself in the top 4 of this race with heat splits that suggest there is more to come. She will need to go under her PB of 8:15.11 to get a medal. (Her mother, Janelle was an Olympic finalist in 1988). With Li (CHN) out of the picture, second and 3rd positions have opened up. Mixed medley 4 x 100 relay: This could be an interesting race, with USA and AUS taking honours in a performance that will see multiple lead changes. Note the need to hold down off walls to get under the bow waves. Also the tactics employed on pitting females against males. #olympicswimming  #Paris2024

"How to Watch Every Round" As if mastering one sporting discipline wasn’t hard enough, the competitors in the modern pentathlon events have to be aces at five very different sports: fencing (one-touch épée), freestyle swimming, equestrian show jumping, pistol shooting, and cross-country running. This sport, which has been going strong for over 100 years, makes for one of the most […] https://lnkd.in/grQdgW6z

🥇🦾 Congratulations to Ahmed Elgendy on winning the gold medal in the Pentathlon event and setting a new Olympic record at the 2024 Olympics in Paris!🎉🌹🎁 Pentathlon is a multi-sport event that consists of five different disciplines. Athletes compete in the five disciplines over the course of one day, with each event scored individually. The scores are then combined to determine the overall winner. Pentathlon is a demanding and exciting sport that requires athletes to excel in a variety of different activities. The five disciplines in modern pentathlon include: 1. Fencing: Competitors engage in one-touch épée fencing matches. 2. Swimming: A 200m freestyle swim is typically used in modern pentathlon. 3. Horse riding: Athletes draw a horse at random and have to ride it over a show jumping course. 4. Laser-Run: This involves a combination of running and shooting laser pistols at targets. 5. Cross country running: A 3,000m cross-country run is usually the final event in modern pentathlon.
