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?

Kitajima is one of the most technically correct breaststrokers EVER. I love his stroke, it is exactly what I coach. He has perfect start and has the fastest turns, technically perfect! He glides with his head underwater, what I call the one second drill. I love everything his coach has taught him about the breaststroke.
Knowing this is what really gets me off, because he absolutely KNOWS that his dolphin on the underwater pull down is not legal and he also knows it gives hims an advantage. He knew Brendan was swimming vey fast in prelims.
geochuck, I think that little kick of his just happened Dream on, he knew it, otherwise why did he change in the 200? He has been warned in the past, but if you get away at it at Worlds, why not try it at the Olympics. No one remembers who comes in second place.
So he took a chance and cheated his way to a Gold Medal!
End of story. He CHEATED.
He has the talent to be the best ever, speed with 200 distance power.
At least he won the 200 *** fare and square, so the world complaining at least FORCED him to stop cheating.
