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?

Nice post Rob C. and others too. I'm throughly enjoying all the swimmimg even though our guys aren't even performing PBs. I loved watching the Mens 100 Free Relay. I never usually support South Africa in any sport, especially so as they beat us at rugby a few days earlier. Now there's a sport where you will see constant "cheating" and it's something that continues in every game until the referee steps in. My question re previous Kitajima D/Qs was more to make the point that if he hadn't been then he's clearly swimmimg legally, albeit pushing the rules to the limit. Nothing wrong with a bit of innovation. Cough cough. From a distance it appears Hansen has come out of this with a lot of credit.
