    I would be interested in the history of the flip turn. I see videos in the 1950s showing some using it, others not. Wikipedia credits Al Vande Weghe in the 30s. I can’t find any footage of him demonstrating the new technique and who were the first adopt it. This is probably as important as the Fosbury flop is to the high jump.

And for that, I can say the Japanese are just brilliant and genius with anything and everything they put their mind, heart and soul to it.
