[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two things - one, if you have watched enough swimming on tv, you know that video can look incredible deceptive. I have seen many races on tv and in person from the AO’s desk that look like one person finished first when they, in fact, did not. The angle of the footage can be deceptive. You can’t be certain that a swimmer is touching the wall when their hands are in the water. It can look like swimmer A is touching the wall, when they are still a few inches away, and the swimmer B is accelerating fast enough to out touch swimmer A. See Michael Phelps vs Cavic in 2008 as an example. https://youtu.be/4xUIyPrJIr0?si=Go_BV9FCc_PO-q66 Two, maybe you are right and someone messed up the finish order, but it won’t matter and no one will change the result. Don’t go any further with this. You will be branded a crazy swim parent. [/quote] Oh, you don't know anything about summer swim then?[/quote]
