Speaking of this, did anyone else want to throw a brick through their TV when NBC mentioned this incident before the 200 fly finals? They acted like winning the race with filled up goggles was th greatest achievement in sports history. Either Rowdy or Dan Hicks said something to the effect of "...anyone else would have just thrown in the towel, but not Michael!" Oh come on, you're going to just give up in the Olympic finals--in an event you've held the world record in for years because your goggles filled up? Please!
My lifetime best 1650 free was completed after my goggles filled with water on the dive. And after the event, I did not throw a snit-fit in the pool. :angel:
