One thing he managed to accomplish with this style is to keep the left elbow joint from being too rigid. This allowed for less shoulder sway and an easier ventilation process. By the way, Zatopek, Ryan, Salazar, Kuts,Treacy all had "terrible" form according to the "experts." But, feel free to criticize.
And oh, yeah he was also "too big" to be a marathoner at, I believe, 163 pounds. "You'll never amount to nothing, mate. Try rugby or football."
143 actually. Deek had no upper body to speak of and short legs which gave the illusion of being larger.
