2023 RUSSIAN SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Well, that was unexpected. After dropping a 1:04.9 in the 100 breast earlier in the week, it looked like Russia’s Evgeniia Chikunova was going to have a good swim in the 200 breast… not the fastest swim of all-time by 1.4 seconds. But that’s exactly what happened.
If we take a look at Chikunova’s stroke, it almost looks like a common breaststroke drill where you try and separate your pull from your kick, completely finishing your pull before you start your kick. Even though she is the European record holder and the #2 performer all-time in the 200 scm breast, this makes it seem like Chikunova’s stroke is meant for long course. Her distance per stroke is immense, only taking 13 strokes on the first 50 while splitting 32.1.
She proceeds to split 35.1, 35.1 and 35.0 on the next 3 50s, taking 15-17-20 strokes per 50. On her first 2 50s and most of the 3rd, she’s maintaining a stroke rate of around 1.8 (taking 1 stroke every 1.8 seconds), although she tempos up to about 1.6 heading into the 150. On her final 50, she tempos up to around 1.4, which seemed to help her hold that consistent time of 35-low.
