After Phelps's holy crap! finish a few minutes ago, I just have to ask. What the heck is up with the butterfly stroke? Seriously, what spastic came up with this motion that looks like a drunk guy trying to catch his beer before the bottle takes on too much water and sinks to the bottom of the pool floor?
It does not look like a butterfly. It does not look like a dolphin. It does not look like much of anything except a line of guys repeatedly trying to pounce on the water over and over and over again.
I can easily imagine that the butterfly stroke originated while a bunch of drunk guys were in a pool and a game of Marco Polo got out of hand. Or, again, someone tried to catch a beer before it sank to the bottom of the pool. Or a bunch of people were high and decided to enthusiastically play that great game we all played as kids, hug the water.
If you take the butterfly stroke out of the water, it kind of looks like this, only dumber.
Then again, 10 meter air rifle is an Olympic sport, and baseball soon won't be, so what do I know.
