He's in Lane 4: This was fun to watch, but the fact is that these events are called the backstroke, butterfly and breast stroke. And clearly in freestyle you are allowed to use the front crawl. None of these events are called the underwater dolphin kick. It was interesting watching the speed indicators - you can tell that the underwater kick is a vastly different stroke. I think I saw in one of the backstroke races underwater someone was going 2.2 meters/second. When they hit the surface that dropped to around 1.7 meters/second. Its a massive difference.

Unlike the Flop they quickly banned it
