Super Slow Motion Video: Watch Sarah Sjostrom’s 50m Butterfly World Record Captured at 120 frames/second

SwimSwam Swimming News reported by Braden Keith.

Watch as Swedish Swimmer Sarah Sjostrom crushes the World Record with a 24.43 in the women’s 50 butterfly.

This stroke is comparatively much more shallow, with a higher turnover, but this is similar to what we see from men’s 50 butterfliers as well: the stroke becomes more freestyle-like. Sjostrom’s sprint fly, like her free, is very flat, with virtually no “bounce” to her stroke. Not taking a breath contributes to that, but it makes for a very efficient stroke.

Maybe she can go a 55.5? I think she can if she works her front speed, hopefully she wont too much like Soni did at the 2009 world championships!!;)

Wonder if many other top flyers will now try to copy Sarah’s strategy.

There’s an underwater camera around the 12m mark. Any chance of getting hold of that footage?
