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 agree with you Sam.
As to the topic of the Race Club not belonging at USMS Nationals... Masters is open to everyone. Are we going to have "maximum" time requirements?....If you swim faster than this time, you can't compete? Go to the Race Club website and read their writeup on our Nationals. They say nothing but good things about Masters swimming. If they can bring more swimmers into USMS, their involvement can be nothing but a positive influence! I don't see how it can be seen as a bad thing for Masters!:confused:
