Hello, friends,
I've been wondering where to post this message, so I might as well start here.
There is a lot of talk about records broken in the tech suit era and some people want asterisks on those records.
But no one talks about the suit which Thorpe wore in the 2000 Olympics. It sure looks like a wetsuit to me:
media.olympics.com.au/.../20100707_101809625_ian_thorpe_wins_400m_20001.jpg
Why aren't his victories and records tainted by the use of this suit?
Does the rule change about suits help explain why he was unsuccessful in his comeback attempt?
Any thoughts?
You must've been a fast 14 year old then! :bow: I'm comparing closer to my times at 15/16 currently.
No, not really that fast. Yeah, 15-16 is probably more accurate. I know the first time I broke 5:00 in the 500 free was the first dual meet of my sophomore year in HS, so I guess I was 15.
