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'm usually one to say bending the rules or pushing the envelope is ok. Heck, I've even been known to drink hot coffee from McDonalds.
But (and TiVO is the best thing ever) there is such a major difference in Kitajima's turns from the 100 versus the coverage I watched today in the 200. It's astonishing the difference. Makes me wonder why he so dramatically changed his turns if there was nothing wrong with the 100 turns as he states.
