Whack-a-swimmer?!?

As I dropped off the kids this morning at Grandma's (who took me to meets almost EVERY weekend as a kid) I started ranting about the Worlds. She said, "Could you believe he was hitting her?" To which I replied, "Huh?" I was talking about the world records. She didn't know details, but it made the news that a man was literally hitting a female swimmer, close-fisted. She was trying to defend herself and run away... not too much information, as all she saw was the trailer. What the heck? Can someone fill me in?

  • This is truly getting gossipy on my part, but I just had to share something else I thought I read. The swimmer's mother (coach's wife) apparently "found something out" about who the swimmer was dating back at home, and decided to call dad/coach at World's and let him know. One word, if you have any knowledge of the importance of the Worlds- DUH! Who in their right mind would cause that kind of disruption? Seems mom has some poor judgment as well...
