[dougouk]

[branodi]

[laluna78]

@branodi

and my eyes are hurting when i have to read nonsense like this from you!

[laluna78]

i miss him, he was fantastic :-) pity he quit swimming ! :-(

[ecsyntric]

@laluna78 he's practically a fish how can he quit swimming?! yes you mean he just stopped competing

[giorgiobello1]

@laluna78 today on BBC1 (in UK) he said he is still swimming but just to relax. He said he is very slow now but still enjoys it. He also added that because he is out of shape, his technique is way different than years ago

he is great and am so happy I watched him on tv today :)

[Diaper1rash]

i wanna see his water line so i can copy !!!

[nadador1515]

What do you mean by water line?

[stinkypillow11]

someone should slow down the video..

[kwackenheim]

delete everything after "C1AwgCVdjC4" in the URL. Then reload.

Be aware that Thorpe looks forward because he kicks a lot. Unless you have the same power in the legs, you are supposed to look down when you swim. APart from this, all the rest is perfect to improve your technique

[westogmoney]

yeah i was about to say that his head looks like it's way too high...i guess you're allowed to do that with size 17 feet or whatever

[CollingwoodLakersAB]

@westogmoney Yeah i was going to say that, i thought your head was meant to be really low and tucked in so it keeps you balanced or whatever...but yeah i guess an olympic gold medalist and swimming legend can do whatever the F*** he wants haha.

[sunnyquiet1982]

[thorpedoshark]
