Above is a picture of Germany's Daniela Schreiber who competed at the Olympics in the 100FR and the two freestyle relays. In the 100FR Schreiber tied for 15th after preliminaries and then was eliminated in the semifinal she tied for 15th again and was eliminated
All these things are fine and well, but what the hell was with the 1960s old school start?
Really? Was this a joke? Or does Schreiber know something that the rest of the world doesn't know?
I scoured the Google but my German is not that sharp and there did not appear to be anything in English that covered this unconventional start.
Of course the Canada swimming coverage team of Rod Smith (who did a decent job) and Joanne Malar (who did not) failed to point out this odd start or to follow up as to why? Where was Superbodies man Dr. Greg Wells to figure out more about this odd start? I'll tweet him and see if he can figure this out... so odd.
More post-Olympic swimming thoughts to come throughout the week..
