At the U.S. Trials there was one official in every lane looking at the turns, so now that we're in Athens, how does Kitajima get away with that dolphin kick on his turn? It seemed clear to me from the above water shot, then was confirmed with the underwater. Other breaststrokers care to weigh in?

  • I saw the blatant dolphin kicks off the start and turn! I also saw it during the World Championships! How does he get away with it? My summer league officials would have DQ'd him for that! I'm with botterud! How could that official, watching only one lane, miss it? He clearly bent his knees! It is cheating! He should have been DQ'd. Hansen should have been first!
