The Greatest World Record Ever

DateThursday, April 19, 2012 at 10:34AM

In 1981, Mary T. Meagher established world records in the 200 fly (2:05.96) and the 100 fly (57.93) at the U.S. Long Course National Championships in Brown Deer, Wisconsin, both of which lasted nearly two decades. Her 200 fly time was rated as the fifth-greatest single event performance of all time by Sports Illustrated magazine. Marys 100m record was broken by Jenny Thompson (U.S.A.) in 1999 and her 200m record fell to Susie ONeill (Australia) a year later.

Sprinting Perfection -- Therese Alshamarr Shows The Right Way

DateFriday, October 28, 2011 at 6:27AM

Sweden's Therese Alshamarr is considered the top short course sprint female butterfly specialist in the world. Her attention to detail puts her in a very small class of technicains. Note her starting position (eyes down, knees bent, arms straight, thumbs on the front of the blocks), explosive leg drive and missile straight streamline. On the turn note the speed she gets her feet on the wall, hands together and how she demolishes the field with superior underwater ability.

One more thing . . . notice that she doesn't breathe except on the turn! This video was shot at the 2011 World Cup Meet in Berlin during the finals.
