He handled this with infinitely more class and dignity than I ever would have; I'd've been furious.
Couldn't agree more. Ian seems to be nothing but class. After the relay at World's it was awesome to see how people rallied around him, says a lot about what his teammates think of him. Please don't misunderstand my "sound familiar" statement. I am a huge fan of Ian's, I just feel sorry for the strokes of bad luck he has had.
He continues to walk with pride and with God and is vocal about that. I give him kudos for being a stand up guy and relying on God to get him through what for most people would be devistating.
Jeff, you are right about Eddie maybe getting Ian to react to the horn and not the strobe. I also think they REALLY need to work on how he finishes a race (I am sure they have), but last night that final stroke looked like something I would do.
Question: I think his 100 Fly WR is maybe the best WR on the books (Thorpe's 400 Free is up there also). What do y'all think, and how long do you think it stands?
