I thought every women's freestyle record would go down at this meet. Ziegler's 1500 withstanding this assault really says a lot about that swim. She swam that 15:42 at a mid-season meet. I really hope she can return to form some day.
Rowdy Gaines is an idiot. He keeps saying this line about stroke 50s. "They aren't Olympic events so they are worthless." Non sequitur. One time he followed that right up by saying how exciting the women's 1500 is and how it should be an Olympic event because it's so great. But not those 50s. Sprinters are not even real swimmers, you know.
It also doesn't make any sense. He's a sprinter himself, and you think he'd like the additional opportunity for like-minded folks.
Looking at his top 10 history, he is 1996's #1 50 Flyer in 35-39.
Once again proof that the dolphin kick in *** needs to go.
At the start of the 2nd semi of 50 ***, Van der Burgh actually COMPLETED his dolphin kick before his hands or arms started to move.
Ah well.
I saw that too. I also thought that he took an extra scull into the finish. Did anyone notice that?

That would be OK as long as he didn't pull twice without a kick in between.
wonder what she's gonna get now with her 1:53 200 free swim
she gets a new tatoo every time she sets a world record, according to OGGI magazine.
she's gonna run out of space

Yeah, it's BS. 50s add excitement to the sport just like tech suits. But everyone seems extraordinarily attached to things that make the sport more boring.

She breaks a world record like every other week. Pretty sure, she is going to look like Tommy Lee or Travis Barker!!!!!:)
Seriously, that look is not cute. I don't mind if the ladies get the "tramp stamp" on their lower back or some butterfly or flower crap on their leg. But, the neck thing is over the line in my opinion.
