I wonder how much slower you'd be if you swam completely naked? Any swim buffs tried it out?

I read the article. That guy is so obviously full of himself that it hurts. No wonder he was so butt hurt when he lost the 4x100 men's freestyle relay at the olympics.

Err, the relay is a team sport. Do you mean that he lost his leg of the relay or that the rest of his team underperformed and his performance could not compensate for theirs?

The 32-year-old Lezak was nearly a body length behind Bernard as they made the final turn, but the American hugged the lane rope and stunningly overtook him on the very last stroke.

He lost it himself.

I love it when trash talkers get embarrassed during the event they are trash talking about. Another good one was the latest BJ Penn/GSP fight.
