Olympics 2012 -- Dana Vollmer
We are proud to present our new analysis of U.S. Olympic swimmer Dana Vollmer, who won triple Gold in London including breaking two world records. We deployed our original underwater motion capture system, AquaCap (TM), to 3D reconstruct Vollmer's signature butterfly stroke. See the links below for the latest demonstrations of our analysis in a project for the New York Times.

What got Dana Vollmer the gold medal and the world record in 100 meter Butterfly in London was her turn after 50 meters – she hit the wall in third but emerged from her 15-meter underwater dolphin kick section in the lead. Then she cruised to the final wall and won by almost a second. Following video shows her famous underwater dolphin kick and various speed readings using our new motion capture techniques.
