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 think the wind has been a significant factor in all the events, so, yes, it's still true that if Hansen was close to his Trials time he would have won, but I think that would require an outstanding swim at this pool. Think about it. Breaststroke is probably affected by the wind more than any other stroke because you're lifting more of your body out of the water and consequently into the wind.
