From technique point view I think qin is better.

[WNRoss]

Qin Haiyang is the dominant breaststroker on the planet right now.
Since July in the World Championships, through the Asian games in September, and culminating in all three legs of the World Cup series in October - he had 15 breaststroke wins in a row, in ALL 3 distances - the 50, 100, and 200.
He beat Peaty every time he raced against him (in Oct/World Cup), although Peaty did reach the podium in the 50 several times - BUT remember also that Peaty is trying to regain his previous top form, after completely stopping his swimming, from March/23 until October/23 - because of several issues.

Peaty has the world record in the 50 and 100 breast, and Haiyang in the 200.

The big question is - will Peaty regain his form to medal (Gold?) again in his 100 meter distance, in Paris, at the '24 Summer Olympics?
There is no 50 meter Olympic breaststroke event.

Right now Qin seems unbeatable, but stay tuned!

Real answer..?
Both are good and there is no real better one. You are comparing a sprinter to a distance swimmer. Even though they do the same strokes, it’s like comparing apples and oranges.

Opinion: I think China will start getting better at swimming, now that they are more a developed country and have got some good American, Australian and British coaches to coach their athletes (I.e Qin HaiYang, Zhang YuFei. And once they are developed like most of Europe and America, they will definitely be in the top leagues. Impressive how they’ve came so far so quickly.

In last world cup qin won all the races, so I think at the moment he is the best...we'll😊 at the olympics though!

I love this comparrison video. I personally would love more!

[Claudia]

This is a really interesting video. Do you have any suggestions for how to pick up the pace in breaststroke? I can swim quite a nice long glidey breaststroke, but the second I try and increase my turn over, I feel like I put more effort in but don't swim any faster!

As a Brit I am hoping Adam will win the 100 breast stroke, but I think he has been struggling with injury and motivation lately so I am not sure!

[rodbardi]

Hi there ! could you write the set, at final video here please : only to see better !

[nancytripp]

Miss you all, professor and classmates; I have been away for so long because of mitigating circumstances.

[yihongli]

Qin is better at long-distance breaststroke, and Peaty is better at short-distance breaststroke. You can't easily compare them.

[Swimtolive]

Nice breakdown of splits and stroke technique….
However, you make no mention on their stroke rate on each of their races and on how they nail their finishes (makes a huge difference in breaststroke)..

[yihongli]

Really good breaststrokers-dunno whose better

[meimeichan]

Less strokes and more strokes almost have the same result. Less strokes reserve energy better. More strokes mean the stroke need less time to complete. Less strokes mean the stroke need more time to complete. This is the difference, different thinking different technique. The one who rises up faster, closer to the surface will glide faster and longer. It is not that hard to figure out, just need a little physis. Sooner or later, everyone will know why. It will be the new technique for swimming in the future

Peaty has better speed and more trophies
Qin has better endurence and he is soo fast too

Qin has better form right now and I think he win 100, 200 br in Paris

Peaty is better in trophies and speed but Qin will be better in future in speed and trophies

[rodbardi]

the set is:

* 4x50 Breast (200) +1 @ 50"
* 3x50 Breast (200) 0. @ 1.10
* 2x50 Breast (200) -1 @ 1.20
* 1x50 Breast (200) -2 @

Ok, this is your set !

The question is : to start 4x50: (200m +1) how much in seconds to rest in first set: 4x50: 10", 15" more, less ? because after that we should have the reference putting +10seg in each set 3x50, 2x50 ....and so

[anthonyclarke]

God I hate breaststroke....when I was a kid the message for medley was "beware the breaststroker"...it should be banned!

[Yobananos]

Both are stellar and accomplished masters, it's just that Qin is way more aesthetically pleasurable to watch - long strong pulls vs. Peaty's rabbit-like frequency. My humble opinion only ofc.

[Ineddiblehulk]

Is Adam really 6”3’? I was sure he was 6”-6”1’

[nancytripp]

I'm a UK citizen but still a Chinese native: PEATY is extremely strong; QIN is subtly smart. Both need to learn from each other to get that unlimited finesse; so do we.

[jimmyz]

Qin has more stroke efficiency obviously. Peak Peaty has more strength than Qin. Gotta wait and see if Qin can break Peaty's 50 record. Peaty is most probably down-sloping one way after his injury, alcoholism and depression...
