Wasn't impressed

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.

Besides, I don't think he had to flex to show us his muscles. They are just THERE. He flexed to show of a tad, but it was very cute, and I think very appropriate to the atmosphere of the moment. That one I did catch on tape, casue I was taping couple od Sabirs swims. I caught 50 free and his 50 fly on video.
