The Unique Kicking Style Of Katie Ledecky in Paris 2024 (and Tokyo, Beijing & London)

It would be pretty hard to have missed Katie Ledecky swim to a medal at the Olympic Games. Her specialty is distance freestyle and she has won more medals than any woman in history in the swimming pool. It wasn’t too long ago that I was researching to explain how a two beat kick could be used in sprinting however it is predominantly used by distance swimmers. To my surprise, as I observed the…

USA Targets Eighth Gold After Japan Victory; France Upsets Canada

The United States secured a dominant 102-76 win over Japan in the women's basketball tournament. This victory at the Pierre Mauroy stadium puts them on track for their eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal. In their Group C opener, the Americans showcased their firepower. Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson led the charge. Captain Diana Taurasi, making her sixth Games appearance, provided solid leadership. The defending champions demonstrated their readiness for another gold.

Japan, however, displayed remarkable resilience. Despite the loss. Rui Machida and Mai Yamamoto shone with impressive three-point shooting. Their performance, despite their height disadvantage, highlighted their skill and determination. Hosts France pulled off a major upset, beating Canada 75-54. Initially trailing, the seventh-ranked hosts rallied spectacularly. Canada, ranked fifth, scored only two points in the second quarter. This was the lowest single-quarter score by any team in Olympic history.

Is Two-Beat Kick The Future?

There are not many ‘two-beat-kickers’. But when they show up it always surprises me. Oddly it also makes me think: How can such a ��bad stroke’ be fast? Firstly, I have to quickly add; a two beat kick is not a bad stroke. It is just generally maligned by coaches. For example Janet Evans was considered a terrible swimmer (but she won three golds in 1988). But is it the future of fast front crawl?…
