easy sulman....you really think thats whats making the difference? doubtful....hes beating the opposition by quite a margin, and the other thing is as each different sport evolves so does the science behind it...I was watching a piece on nbc...where someone compared it to the racket John McEnroe played with vs the one Roger Federer plays with now...you can't use it as some sort of an excuse for the reason he is winnning gold medals...if you think China and Russia's team haven't been researching and developing suits to maximize speed and minimize resistance you are mistaken.sulmoney said:
Sulman brother I agree with you here...the swimming cube or whatever it is in beijing is supposedly built for speed,...so theres no question that the high prevalence of the breaking of world records is probably a bit skewed, but as the article said, theres no way to comparee swimmers of past to swimmers of present...because not only are the training programs of the swimmers changing, but so is the environment...theres too many variables to compare...sulmoney said:
