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.

The spirt in which he did it was fun and goofy. What is happening at age group meets is not. And that is the trash talking in the bull pen and waiting behind the blocks. I would much rather have the fun goofy muscle flexing in kids, then the meaness I sometimes see at age group meets. Of course where does that come from, hmmmm.
It all comes from the older role models. Maybe you'll get lucky and have trash talking kids flexing behind the blocks.
