Michael采用起跑式出发,这样可以对出发信号做出快速反应。预备令一发,各就各位,Michael的左脚脚趾抓住跳台的前缘,后脚放在跳台的后部,脚跟抬起。这有助于他把重心放在跳台的前端。他手指微用力,轻拉跳台的前缘。一听到出发令,他就摆臂跃出,前脚发力,以最快的速度进入水中。
(Michael uses a track start which allows him to react quickly to the starter signal. Upon the command, take your mark, Michael will grab the front edge of the block with the toes of the left foot. He'll place his right foot at the rear of the block with the heel up. This helps to keep his centre of gravity on the front edge of the block. He'll place light pressure with his fingers and gently pull up on the front edge of the block. Upon the signal to go, he'll spring forward with his arms and get a good push off the front foot to enter the water with as much speed as possible. Go! )
