As for coverage, I actually like watching water polo, but don't see why Universal can't put up a full video of at least the 5Ks when they're also archiving entire water polo matches.
:applaud::applaud::applaud::applaud::applaud:. I am happy for him. I saw that part of the race. He had to extra work to get on the other side of the lane line so the Italian guy had more of a challenge to beat him.
Universal sports could have put up a full video on the website at least. You know that they probably videotape the whole race in case some dramatic happens.
But, from what I heard, Open Water swimmers don't peak until they are 29 so that is a good sign for Andrew Gemmel to get the silver at the 10K and only 18 years old. Crippen trains with Germantown Academy so doing a *** Shoulberg practice is very good preparation for open water swimming without doing any real open water training. The attitude has really changed about open water swimming in our area. When I was coming up, I never knew to do open water events or heard about them. Now, there are alot of kids are doing these events. The Middle Atlantic never had a Open Water Championship or clubs hosting open water events.
