Hi, here are a couple of tips you can see clearly in Sun Yang's stroke: big kick on opposite side of where hand enters the water, long glide follows, arm is mid stroke 90 degrees hand pointing to pool bottom as opposite hand enters the water. Practice drills to do the above.
Poetry in motion!
Espece de dopé Sun Yang ! Vive Camille Lacourt
It's very hard to break down his technique/why he does it, after breath sometimes he flutters, and some times he glides, some time he does a 2bk to get higher in the water, other time he does a fleet footed 2BK.

What a technique ! He's got probably the best feel for the water. His kick is really interesting, shallow, doesn't disturb the glide.... This guy is unique despite dopping problem. Technique is technique !
Proof that the coach in the last club I belonged to didn't know what he was talking about. Sun Yang is using a two-beat kick and swimming front quadrant almost to the point of overlap. Yet, he's faster than anyone else. Go figure!
Which one is Sun Yang?
this is a good sample of TI swimming technique. everything in sync. additionally sun is tall! perfect!
It's all about the front glide and keeping the kick inside his body line
@3:30 he passes by another swimmer going in the opposite direction. Watch how little the water is disturbed by Sun's technique in comparison. This man is a beautiful machine.
Tecnica de natación muy similar a Total Inmersión Swimming, para triatlón y aguas abiertas , dedos abiertos al entrar al agua , cabeza debajo de agua, sincronización de brazada con patada , mucha rotación de caderas.
plz help ... i try to swim at a high rate 25meters i cant get under 20 sec .... i try the overgliding technique i swim 25 meters at exactly the same time making about 13 stroke for the 25 meter in 20 sec.... is it normal ?? i run out of breath ofc after 50m when i glide but i can swim 100 at a high stroke rate, again i use the same chrono for both ..whats wrong with me ? ive filmed myself to see how it looks and it looks more or less like Sun ps: i do kick when gliding only when i pull once sometimes i feel its draging me forward and sometimes i feel its just keeping my body position to get that arrow feeling when i glide .
"China’s top sport star Sun Yang hit the headline again. Only this time, he was involved in doping. The Olympic and world swimming champion was banned for three months after being tested positive for trimetazidine in May." December 26th, 2014
interesting kick.
Tiene una frequencia entrecortada de piernas. Pero es alucinante como fluye por el agua y aproecha las brazadas!
Insanely efficient stroke
I see a blend strength and fluidity in his swimming. The power comes from a variety of muscle groups firing in sequence.
Compare and fix bad habits:
1. Look at his elbows carefully 2. Look at legs sequence 3.Look at arms frequency and hands position
He has almost no splash when his hand enters...that is just incredible. He makes going fast look so easy.
strong core and flexible stretchy back muscle helping him a good deal transferring the energy forward. Awesome! fingers of the extended arm pointing up... Could be improved.
