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?

Come on George, any age group breaststroker swimming for a coach with a clue knows that you can't do a dolphin kick with your pull down. Knowing you can get away with it does not mean you're ignorant to your own cheating . . . just that you can get away with it. We then advance to the question of "no call, no foul" vs. ideals of sportsmanship, a topic worthy of discussion and why I started this thread (along with my incredulity at the non-call . . . see Emmitt, not whining, just a good topic for discussion and a blessed change from my ill advised travels into the world of hot coffee and laps . . . pun intended).
