Ian Thorpe front view as compared to Grant Hackett and Larsen Jensen
I see Ian Thorpe's catch and pull closer to his body than say Grant Hackett as seen below. Larsen Jensen's is more to the side. Larsen comes in at the center line, appears to skull out to the front of his shoulder and then pulls towards the side. I actually find Jensen's the most symmetrical stroke.

Wow! That was quick. I agree with you Jensen's technique out of the three is the one which seems to conform most to today's idealized form; and yes, Thorpe definitely did sweep his arm under his body. Thanks for the comparison.
