So do the judges remember you if you are critical of their performance?

Just for the record while the British team may be officially contesting the DQ reversal; the British swimmer, Goddard, who was briefly awarded the bronze, during the disqualification, is happy with the result.
He feels that he came 4th, did not swim good enough for 3rd and does not want to see Piersol DQ'd.
Funny, I remember 1-2 years ago Matt Welsh causing controversey and being boo-ed at swim meets because he continued to kick through the turn, after his last arm entry. Most observers felt at the time that this was cheating, although all swum into the turn in that way in this 200m race.
In swimming, the goal posts do move from time to time, that is mostly where the stroke changes come from.:)
