slow pool they said, wada exemption they said, 4 tenths off the old record.

How is a pool slow or fast? Can understand a track but is the water a different viscosity or something. Also they get out dry, is that WD40?

Depth of the pool.

In Beijing for example where WR’s tumbled like Chinese property companies, the pool was deep.

It's a physics thing about resistance at the boundary, certain depth or depths dampen some of this resistance. This is very laypersons terms.

What is the Aussie word for 'moral' btw?

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Hahaha loved Austin Krajicek absolutely hammering an ace to knock out Nadal from doubles and pipe down all those Spanish dudes drunk on beaujolais in the stands. Never seen a chair empire have to shush the crowd that many times.

Maybe we should cut the Chinese a bit of slack over their claim that contaminated beef was the reason for the unintended boost that lifted the
performance of their athletes.

A bloke claims that he was in the same cafe eating the same stuff and he was up all night with his girlfriend and he's usually fast asleep by half past ten.

Roflcopter?

I've not seen that word for about 15 years...

The 20km Mincing is always a fun watch. The lads are really going at it this morning.

The neck scarf on the winner making it look even more camply dramatic.
