Mark Foster and the Olympics

Goals have been clearly set for some time so those who qualify to the standards we’ve set will know they’re capable of returning from Athens having achieved something – they’re not simply going to the Olympic Games as excess baggage. This is a quote from a very Henryk Lakomy, Sports science & fitness director at British Swimming. So they feel that Mark Foster is excess baggage ! :mad: He could win a medal, but i guess we will never know and that is one less medal for Britain. Ah well, there is always the breaststroke. Which seems to be the only stroke that UK swimmers can do well !:mad:

    I'm just making the very subtle point that there is going to be some sort of issue everywhere. I'll bet almost anything he swims the 100 and I think there's nothing wrong with pointing things out and discussing. Anyone notice Paul Smith went 50.2 in the 100 fly today? Not bad for 44 years old. His relay went 1:24.0. Didn't hurt that they picked up Rowdy as the anchor.
