[@franckmalottky5212]

[@ad2028]

The extra kick might be against the rules but its pretty much widely accepted by most breaststrokers now. The only time anyone ever gets DQ'd for it is if they take the piss out of it and do like 3 or 4 kicks and make it blatantly obvious. As someone who is involved in competitive swimming, I don't think you can even call this 'cheating' at this stage. Van der burgh sugar coated that statement too. I doubt he even considered it to be an issue in all honesty.

[@ad2028]

Yeah true. Though in fairness to the judges the kick is very well disguised from their view on poolside.

[@Jun-ws4um]

[@aerious1688]

well, here’s a small explanation. unlike freestyle, backstroke, and butterfly, your breakout (the thing you do upon starting your race and doing a flip-turn off the wall) is an underwater pullout instead of multiple fly kicks. an underwater pullout consists of diving in, pulling your arms down, one fly kick, and one breaststroke kick to get yourself up. if you were to do more than one fly kick (or if it looks like you did more than one fly kick) , you would get disqualified.

IM TALKING REAL TIPS like "if u want to lope in free you pull wide with your non breathing side and close with your breathing side" or "looking forward will give you more pulling power and increase drag but looking down will decrease drag and power" all they say is " don't breathe off your walls" like duh we already know that stuff give us the juicy technique tips

looking forward does not give you more pulling power

Well, I've talked about this race with him many times and he hates the fact that Darren cheated. He hates every swimmer that cheats in breaststroke breakouts because it's not fair. He did beat his PB in this race so he was happy about that (went a little under 29secs). In my opinion the only great swimmer there is in breaststroke is Adam Peaty and it's probably my swimming coaches favourite swimmer. oh and great video :D

When someone is swimming breaststroke you are only allowed to do one dolphin kick and one breaststroke kick to get you up after the dive or turn. In this video they did more than that which should have got them disqualified, meaning their swim would not count.

Yep, I'm two years late, but I'm about to say that Kitajima's dive would be illegal even today, he did an extra kick duirng diving, the same as Van der Bourgh. It hurts cuz o I love Kitajima :(

[@alexandraautin5794]

From a judge's perspective, these movements are very hard if not impossible to see. The judge stands above the swimmer, and he only sees the agitated waters that cover the swimmers movements to a large extend during that diving phase of the race and during turns. Video ruling is not allowed for these judges. So, yes these movements are illegal. But the judges simply could not see these movements from their position, and therefore they could not disqualify the swimmers.

[@orion410]

What song is this pls let me know

[@yboywonder]

It looks like they're hiding it on the splash/disturbance of the dive as I don't see it on the turns. But FINA opened this 'floodgate' when they made it legal to do 'ONE' dolphin kick off the walls in breaststroke. I believe they were trying to make the judges life easier and less controversial. What they did was the opposite. This was just another of many rule changes that gives today's swimmers advantages over 'yesterday's' swimmers. btw: "But we should also not ignore the hard work they put in to reach their goals".... try using this argument with the PED issue!.... The problem with this is that it 'cheats' those that abide by the rules....so YES we SHOULD ignore their hard work because they CHEATED. .... maybe we should give Ben Johnson back his gold medal or Lance Armstrong his 7 yellow jerseys because of "the hard work they put in to reach their goals." Thanks for sharing this...I didn't realize so many elite breaststrokers were cheating this blatantly.

[@SwimStrenght]

Yeah I agree with you brother.

[@orion410]

As a younger breaststroker, I've only ever swam when dolphin kicks were legal, and seeing this kind of makes me wish they weren't. On one hand I live in fear of bs dqs, but on the other hand, when you've learned something really young and done it that way your whole life, it can be hard to change. I think it's too late to go back, but I wish dolphin kicks were never made legal to begin with.

[@chatbud]

What the...1:23 that is like full fledged dolphin getting ready to launch into fly! lol

[@Thuglife-rg3jc]

I understand that he did because when you dive in, the splash you make gives you a chance to cheat. But like still doesn't mean he should've

[@degentoregen6144]

The first one actually puts the dude at the disadvantage considering he did it when he was around 2-1 seconds in the water creating more drag.

[@adamstepien5116]

I dont know anything about swimming Can someone explain what they're doing illegal?

[@antonyponomarev4705]

Adam Stępień during breaststroke you’re allowed to do a “pullout” it consists of pulling your arms to your sides with a dolphin kick and then putting your hands forward with a breaststroke kick. You are only allowed to do 1 though, all of them were doing multiple.

[@Arrica101]

And for the most part trying to use the splash created during the dive to mask it

[@tegen-roseclements492]

Adam Stępień a legal pull out is one breastroke pull and one kick and one fly kick. For it to be illegal they probably did two of something

[@MrVpassenheim]

In Mew's case, correct me if I'm wrong, it didn't seem to help him at all. It looks like the aid is minimal at best, and only if you execute the dive and kick amplitude correctly.

[@SwimStrenght]

MrVpassenheim True.

[@HoustonflightSimmer]

Look at his arms during his pullout - very wide and suboptimal...better to have them narrower and closer to your body for the most force.

[@akhillover6745]

Did the first one get disqualified

[@biso299]

The rule before 2014 wasn't very clear because the rules said that required some separation of the hands before the first dolphin kick, with this the athlets gets a ploy to get over the rule, the 2014 rule allows the dolphin kick off of each wall to happen at any point prior to the breaststroke kick, with this if they caught an athlet doing more fly kicks he get desquilified

[@tomhammond3495]

It's cheating, plain and simple. It should be clamped down on. Or maybe the rules should change back so that no fly kicks at all should be done at the arms move to the side to make it easier to spot a cheater. It's not that hard to do. If my 7 year olds I work with can do it then surely an elite athlete has the ability to do it.

[@thepurselmer1382]

Those in charge will never allow that - as you'd have world records standing way too long (it's slower w/out the kick). They should never have allowed the kick, and just viewed the underwater "replay" to charge those who did it in the first place. However, I do believe swimming has changed many rules simply to keep the records falling and thus the viewership (at least for the Olympics) high. World Records = Ratings.

[@Colem359]

The reason why they made the rule was because it became too hard to officiate. A slight downkick is a natural motion during the pullout. If anything they'd allow a second one, but four little dolphin kicks off the start is pretty ridiculous.

[@SwimStrenght]

The Purselmer I agree 100%

[@dobakihn6792]

I agree with the original comment and sadly it seems to have become one rule for one and one for another, I have been dqed twice in the past year for doing a lot less than this (and have seen others dqed aswell) but these guys are allowed to get away with it. They are probably much better at disguising it than I am though.

1 butterfly kick, 1 breathstroke kick, 1 pull. there's cameras watching everywhere and every angle, they will catch anything slick move you try to sneak in, and i think if they do anything more, it should be an automatic DQ. If all the swimmers do it, they all get disqualified or perhaps a more logical thing to do would be to restart the race if like 3 or more swimmers do it. this rule has been implemented since these guys were elementary schoolers and they know better.

Socrates Mahfood the breaststroke is a stroke that demands much power. Going to the gym would definitely benefit your performance but overdoing it would be detrimental. But then again the feel for the water is much more important than being big and strong.
