quetion??? how did cielo get the suspension overtuned in time to swim and win the 50? on the other hand, fabiola molina get suspended for sinus medication and hers sticks?
Androvski,
I kind of liked what Kyu Woong did. Showed passion. Kind of like Amy Van Dyken spitting in the lane of the opponent next to her except what Kyu did had more class.
The 1500 final looks like it will be a dogfight for silver and bronze.
I think Cochrane's got the silver secured after his brilliant 800 but the bronze is up for grabs.
It's my first time playing with the new version of Omega Timing's live ap, and I've got to say it's a bit improvement over the old version- so much easier to move between the live and the previous event.
Yeah man! It's cool! frustbin.com/.../signature_icon.jpg
The thing with Cielo is that he was given the bare legal minimum punishment under current anti-doping code by Brazilian swimming- warning and invalidated results from the Maria Lenk meet. And because the letter of the rulebook was followed in his case, there was legally nothing either FINA or CAS could do other than accept the Brazilian swim federation's 'punishment'.
So as it is, Cielo now has one strike against him, and if there is another inadvertent contamination event, then he's got a year minimum/Olympic ineligibility like Waked got from FINA/CAS over the second positive, inadvertent or not.
Another good prelim for the USA - everyone advanced and we have all three top seeds. The men's medley relay prelim was officially nuts, with EIGHT countries swimming 3:36's and only two of them advancing. France, South Africa, Italy, Russia, China, and Brazil all went 3:36 and failed to make top 8! Also in the IM's, Kirsty Coventry, Katinka Hosszu, and Laszlo Cseh didn't advance.
Did anyone see Kyu Woong's entrance for the 200 breaststroke final? What was that about? :D
