Stretch Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Just watched an interview with him. And his response was along the lines, 6 different judges did not say anything, so it must be ok. He knowingly broke the rules. He cheated. Thumbs down. Oh yes, and I hope they look after your guy, only 19 !! And third place only 17 !! slowbee - there is a whole thread dedicated to this - but there is a lot that goes on "under the water" that is cheating that happens in every sport - the fact is that those sportsmen and women "get away with it" too but no-one is shouting cheaters to each and every single sportsmen/women. Is it right? probably not - how much advantage does it give him? - who knows - do i have less respect for him? i don't think so

Its not to say he is a cheat, i just feel if you dont use the dolphin kick you will be left behind. I wonder if it was an American or British swimmer would they have made the same stink about it?

Bateleur1 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Think she could have won it but still well done.
TNT1 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 She made it look way too easy. Should have made it look like hell, and got the win if you ask me.
