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 dolphin kick and i was the first to point it out on this forum at the world championships when katijama did it there.
Even the British commentators saw it, and their swimming knowledge is quite poor.
Yes, he got away with it, twice here and also 2 years ago. It is very unfair to other swimmers.
You do have to be a brave official to call it, but that is there job.
