More buoyant? No you’re barking up the wrong tree there. The bigger male will be able to displace more water as he has more power and can create more torque. But that’s nothing to do with buoyancy. A newborn baby or a fat person would be far more buoyant than any professional swimmer. The only advantage the bigger guy would have in terms of buoyancy is he’s likely to have bigger lungs. |
It's a lot more technical than he makes out. It's more to do with arm length and leverage/pull for freestyle and butterfly not so much for breaststroke which has a different technique. The ideal shape for most events long body and arms with broad sholders, narrow hips and lean, in all honesty the leg length has little impact. It all means nothing if you don't have the determination, dedication and self discipline to compete at the very top. Janet Evans was a fantastic champion at about 5'6" but she had the other qualities, more than her fellow competitors. It's not just as simple as you are tall you stand the best chance of winning, the analysis of swimming goes much deeper and I'm not going to waste my time on the troll, I dont mean you.

I didn't say it was that simple. It's so technical and the practice and dedication these swimmers put in is mind boggling. Probably the most dedicated of all athletes.
Leg length is very important in freestyle. If you have short legs, then you will have a shorter upper leg acting as a lever onto a longer lower leg, this is not very efficient and it should be the other way round. Not so important with breastroke as the kick is completely different. The frog kick is the main driving force in this stroke |  | | |

Yeah nothing to do with buoyancy though. |  |

Opening ceremony more like a booze cruise with riverside cabaret so far. |  |

Traditionally of course the competitors in the olympics competed in the nude which would probably increase viewing figures for certain events as long as they don’t make sumo wrestling an Olympic sport. |

Andrew Cotter, Hazel Irvine and Celine Dion aside, that opening ceremony was a bit shite. Kudos for trying something different, but it didn't work. Questionable taste in certain parts too.
Anyway, Team GB with their first day one medal in 20 years, and their first women's diving medal in more than 60. Good start. | |

Silver for GB in the Women's time trial. Anna Henderson.
Fair play to the Australian girl. More than a minute ahead of the rest. | |

I think it was a great call to be more cautious in very difficult conditions. | | | |

The Chinese are a great example of how many medals can be obtained by gathering together thousands of toddlers and beating the shit out of them for 15 years until some are good enough to win at the Olympics. | |

It's incorrect! Yes, Chinese kids are groomed, but not compelled, Many families refuse to let their children take part | | | |

Simply ,China should not be competing
It is not sport for them.
Exactly as was the case with the former Eastern Bloc
Every Russian medal from 1968 should be expunged from the record book.
All are tainted | |
