Was it egregious? Upon first glance, I though he must have dolphin kicked in to get to the wall first. But in the above water replay, I wasn't so sure; need to see underwater coverage. Universal Sports dubbed it a "controversial finish" early in the day, so I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned earlier.
Europe dominates the 50s probably because they care about, train for and race the 50s. The US doesn't; none of our stars (except Soni/Hardy maybe) seem to race the 50s. And I think it's our loss. Training for the 50s would likely help our 100s. But until 50s are Olympic events, we'll apparently ignore them to focus on 100/200.

She split her 100's 6.41 seconds apart. Certainly not a good swim, but you'll see worse splitting than that in pretty much any Masters 200 heat.
Sure. It's just that I don't find it odd that it happens so often in masters meets, but to see it in "elite" swimming is very weird. Especially since she was so ahead of her opponents and then got swept away by field in the first 20 meters of the last lap.
