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?

  • Originally posted by Leonard Jansen Actually, the injection of air into the lower colon is NOT an urban legend. The East Germans tried it in the 70's but found that it caused extreme discomfort and cramping. Hard to believe that pumping air into your back side would cause discomfort and cramping but I'm sure glad the East Germans decided human testing was needed to verify this. Maybe they should have considered helium. Isn't methane already lighter than air?
