    I agree TJ, the video illustrates how a well timed kick can make the difference.. Kitajima lurches forward by what appears to be a couple of feet. video.google.com/videoplay At the end of the day, the playing field is now even. Both swimmers can compete in the same suits, and do their pullouts using the same kick. I scrolled down to read a few of the comments on YouTube.:rant3: Public opinion is pretty strong on this topic.
