So, Rob, what happened after the heat of the 200 IM where the backstroke flags fell into the water? It looked like one swimmer ran into them and took a couple of freestyle strokes during the breaststroke leg. Did they let him swim the race again?
Anna LeaActually 4 or 5 of the swimmers swam through the flags, I didn't see any freestyle and I didn't hear of any DQ's. It was decided that they heat would be reswum after the relays for any swimmer who wanted to go again. In the end, they all said no (some of their coaches had a few more choice words, not appropriate for our civil forum).
