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 think we are making a big deal out of it. I agree we were treating them as celebrities. Everyone present knew what they are capable of and the bottom line is we are not professional swimmers (I don't pretend to offend anyone, I take swimming seriously too, although I think a bit of fun does not harm anybody.
