In an interview with TODAY, Schooling calls him "the best I have seen in biomechanics." Hodierne analyzed hours of race footage of his performance against his competitors' and told him only hours before the final "where he could make his swim more efficient, so he would not only lead early in the race, but also continue to stay ahead."[2][3]
