Fina Rules

Does someone have a link to a video of Peirsol's 200 back? I'm relying on memory, which is not terribly reliable. :D My recollection is that, for the turn in question, his last pull was with his arm away from the camera, with his body blocking the view. From the surface camera, it had the appearance of a glide, as you could see his elbow by his side. I believe the underwater camera showed that he was still pulling (from the elbow down) during the supposed "glide". As for the breaststoke, I *don't* know the rules backwards and forwards, and it was obvious how much of a body dolphin Kitijama was doing during the 100s, and 200 prelim. I mean, he pushed off, glide, dolphin kick, glide, pulldown-with-dolphin-kick... The man has his Olympic medals, that's not the point. The question is what (if anything) needs to be changed before the next international meet to handle a similar performance. Stephanie, 23% of Japan's population is over the age of a THOUSAND? I think you are wrong... ;)
