With the psych sheets out for Nationals, I think we should start debating who deserves the biggest sandbagger of the meet award?
I won't name the names of any doctors or last year's national champion, but I've got some nominees in the 500 free:bolt:
How far off seed times from posted swim times are we calling "sand bagging' ??? 5% - 10% 25 % ??
I'd say more like 3%. 5% for someone who can swim the 500 free in 5:00 is 15 seconds. That's huge.
Don't think Noriko will be delaying the meet as she is smoking fast. As a (very) part-time sandbagger I can say without equivocation, there is nobody in her (sandbagging) league. Wonder if anybody will be changing her time, like they did mine?
Iniko Norada is seeded in the W100 Back with a 1:08 and went a 53 in February.Oh yeah. She pulls that stunt at EVERY local Masters meet and I have no clue why.
I was wondering what the deal was, its my first year of Masters and to my recollection when I swam as a kid, it was pretty poor sportsmanship to seed like that.
