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?

It was clear even in the prelims. Kitajima did a dolphin kick, as even Rowdy Gaines pointed it out on TV coverage. So, to see Kitajima do it again in finals was just unbelievable. However, I give Hansen a lot of credit for his professional answer when he stated he now needs to focus on preparing for the 200 instead of getting caught up thinking about the controversy.
