To celebrate this accomplishment ESPN Classic TV station is showing all of the USA Gold medal winning swimmers today including all of Mark Spitz's races. Its on right now and will be on tonight. Its on for about 3 hours.
Whats interesting is to see the suits, no goggles, and basically no underwater swimming on either the starts or the turns.
I'm sorry I missed it! I wonder if it will be on again??
As Karen said the rebroadcast is tomorrow and for those on the EST its scheduled from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM on ESPN Classic so set your timers to record this. Its also on later in the day so check these listings.
