Although I was very impressed with Sabir the swimmer, I was not impressed with Sabir the person. What was up with him flexing his muscles before the 50 FLY? Is this the NFL/ NBA or is this master's swimming? I didn't appreciate the "hey everyone, look at me" attitude. Swim the race, shake hands with your competitors, and be thankful for the gift God has given you. Don't show up your competitor like a Pro Wrestler. I wonder how much muscle flexing Sabir will do before events at the olympic trials! I have much respect for him for his talent and swimming accomplishments. But after his display before the 50 Fly, I have little respect for him as the person.
I thought his flexing and hamming it up were great. He was having fun and not taking himself too seriously! It got the crowd pumped up which helped him get pumped up! All of the swimmers on the Race Club were gracious to everyone. No cockiness was seen by any. They took time to talk, sign autographs and pose for countless pictures. They can only help promote our sport.
