Noticing more frequent use of grab starts in Beijing...

Notably by the Chinese female swimmer, and it's combined with tremendous water entries and SDK's ... I'd say almost Coughlin caliber underwaters and theyr'e coming up on the fielkd, but no one is talking about it.
Look at their entries in the 200 free. In the 100, Pang jumped so take her slight reaction time out of it and she still is well up after the SDK's.
Notice also that Lenton of Australia used the conventional grab start, as do several other of her country women.
In one particular Chinese sprinter (Le?), she squats with her but down quite low for her stance, which would seem very slow off the block. At 15 meters though she is ahead.
Any thoughts?

That's a bummer, especially since we still have a 50 BR gridge to settle. I hope all goes well.
As of Friday I am now waiting on having my shoulder (Rotator) cut on to fix it....I have to do a couple of other tests first so I am hoping to possibly be back in the water by Jan......we'll see.
