[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NCap Imvite: Worst time of year. Everyone is tired and sick. Not as fun as Turkey Clause.

Yes, it’s a fast meet.

Appalling, unsportsmanlike behavior during the Men’s 100 free final last night from an NCap swimmer. Disgusting. [/quote]
It’s not as fun as Turkey Claus because it’s a more competitive meet. It’s the nature of the beast, like any club sport being less fun than rec.

What was so appalling and disgusting at the men’s 100 free final? [/quote]

please tell........[/quote]

In the A final all the swimmers were ready and at their blocks ready to step up. Except one of the NCap swimmers.

He stood around, still dressed. They all waited for him. He took a really long time- all the swimmers and officials (and crowd) were watching him. When he finally got undressed, instead of going to the block, he stood behind it, slapping his chest multiple times, again, with everyone watching him. At this point, the swimmers had all been at their blocks ready to go for at least three minutes.

To say that is was unsportsmanlike is an understatement.

Also, if you are going to do that, you better win (he didn't).

Disgusting.[/quote]

Why didn't the starter just start the race?  Seems odd that they'd wait around for him.  I've seen starters start races when kids forgot their goggles.  [/quote]
