[quote=Anonymous]They DQ’d a lot of breast - dolphin kick on the finish is a common one. With VAR, all the breastrokers who were taking 2 dolphins off the start, or an extra one at the wall can’t hide it under the white water. I wish they would show the var review like they do in soccer, so that spectators could learn. Erica fairweather was DQ’d for false start/movement on the block.

The prelim announcers have been better than the final announcers. They have given more insight into technique, like discussing hip driven vs arm driven freestyle. They are more focused on the British and Aussie swimmers, which I appreciate, but since I’m American,
I also want to hear about the American swimmers.

Finally, the U.S. swimmers haven’t had the best starts in prelims. Luke Hobson had a bad start in the prelims and Reagan smith as well.

And regarding training camp, I wish they would do training camp in a boring place in the U.S. where they can get mentally dialed in, and then go earlier to Singapore. They could train on a schedule that gradually adjusts them for the time zone change at camp. Seems too risky to go to Thailand and get all distracted by being in a resort setting before competing. Not to mention the food poisoning/gastroenteritis. [/quote]
