Shows that you don't need a racing suit in order to swim fast.
but you need one to win these days
It sucks they dont wear those 1 piece suits no more.
BRAVO AGI ,WELL DONE...
Man, these girls swimming with no goggles like it's the 60's or something. Crazy, I used to swim in meets with Amanda as an age grouper. I guess I don't remember she didn't race with goggles.
Penny wore then in training, swam with her 97-2000, her coach moved to Calgary and she followed. He also coached my son for a season
Do you have Amy Van Dyken and Whitney Hedgepeth in 1996?
Of all swimmers, to get to race, combined is 000's hours collectively of early morning and afternoon training. Then there are the parents who prepare the food and, drive to the pool.
and the kids who get their own food, get the bus or cycle to training, buy equipment with paper round/ part time job money and get funding from the local authority or they simply go to a sports school in China funded by the Government. Not all parents live vicariously through their kids; some of the kids who get to the top choose to do so themselves.
Nice to see female swimmers in proper costumes and the not the high tech suits they wear these days. Also with you can see how powerful and muscular the girls/ladies are. Penny also lòoks stunning in that swimsuit
Exactly I hate the new suits they wear now.

What a joke. Beard's elbows come out of the water every stroke.
Poor camera work for an Olympic event.
