How do they decide who gets to swim in which lane during a swim-off? Clearly if the one breathes to the right and is on the left hand side of the other, then that swimmer will be at an advantage.
I thought it was cool that there were 9 women in the 800 free final today. There was a tie for 8th, so rather than have them do a swimoff for such a long event, they put one of them in lane 8 and one of them in lane 0 for the final. Of course it helps to have a 10-lane pool handy...
