  • White Americans are conservative (non-political sense) and modest. It is neither right nor wrong to be that way, but to suggest that someone lacks sportsmanship because they don't meet your cultural expectation is, well, poor form on your part. My inlaws (Korean) slurp their soup. It's not rude, it's just how they do it. More importantly, the quest for 8 is over... Oh boy, here we go again. You going to suggest he go crawl under a rock?
  • NO TECH suit & he still puts up 2 new world records ? ! Wow - he is really the swimmer of the meet !
  • NO TECH suit & he still puts up 2 new world records ? ! Wow - he is really the swimmer of the meet ! The tech suit doesn't make the fast swim. The fast swimmer makes the swim fast. Ever thrown a tech suit in the water to see how fast it swims? :D

    The tech suit doesn't make the fast swim. The fast swimmer makes the swim fast. Ever thrown a tech suit in the water to see how fast it swims? :D I think the tech suit vastly improved Paul Biedermann's swims. Arguably, the tech suit didn't have that much of an impact on swimmers such as Lochte and Aaron Peirsol.

    Oh boy, here we go again. You going to suggest he go crawl under a rock? Why, you getting lonely? :bolt: Ever thrown a tech suit in the water to see how fast it swims? I think that Bousquet was the originator of that quote? Maybe it was his coach?
