I often see some swimmers doing this kind of sign: curling back middle and ring fingers and extend pinkie, index and thumb. For example, Ryan Lochte's right hand in the left background picture on http://twitter.com/ryanlochte. What does it mean actually? Thanks!

You know, I saw Ricky Berens do that once at a meet last year when his named was announced before a race and I just assumed it was some kind of Longhorns signal, since he goes to U Texas (or did- I don't know if he's graduated). And since a lot of big US swimmers are at Texas, that might explain why you see some swimmers doing that. Ande would know more...
But Lochte doesn't have anything to do with the Longhorns, so... that doesn't answer that, still.
