Did or did not his dolphin kicks happen BEFORE he started his arm pull on both the start and the turn? Because I sure saw that it happened before his hands started to move. Is this legal under FINA rules? Because it sure as heck isn't under USA swimming rules.
i think its pathetic that so many people can't appreciate someone's preformance because they are watching the games through their red,white and blue glasses.
Way to attack the person not the argument.
Kitajima CLEARLY kicked BEFORE his hands started to pull at the start AND the turn. FINA rules are pretty clear that that is not a legal breaststroke. I actually rewinded the race to verify what I saw. And I did see it off the start, my wife asked me what I yelled about.
Just like it was CLEAR that Kitajima dolphin kicked in 2004.
But hey, it appears to me from your comments that you favor either a) cheaters or b) the elimination of all rules. Each to his own.
