LDOG 2,255 Posted July 25, 2019 #862 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Our tv just showed a close up of King's touch. It seems she makes a very soft touch with her left hand while she makes a strong one with the right hand. Maybe the left hand wasn't registered.

JoshMartini007 2,375 Posted July 25, 2019 #863 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Yeah kind of expected it would be between Singapore and South Korea for the last spot, Portugal was likely to finish last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she should talk to Milorad Cavic about alleged soft touches on the wall. Is Efinova sponsored by the official time keeper as well?

For specifically that reason. thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,375 Posted July 25, 2019 #866 Share Posted July 25, 2019 It's a shame that so few nations participated. Neither Great Britain nor Italy sent a team. thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just lucky if anyone was still around me by the time I finished. I was especially bad a breaststroke. I’d say my best of Fly, which is funny because I have very little upper body strength. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

phelps 7,434 Posted July 25, 2019 #868 Share Posted July 25, 2019 from swimswam... "American breaststroke star Lilly King was disqualified in the third heat of the 200 breast Thursday morning in Gwangju, and nearly two-and-a-half hours later, we’ve received word that USA Swimming’s protest of the decision will be heard by the Jury of Appeal before the next session begins at 8 p.m. local time Thursday. King won the prelims heat, then turned at the scoreboard and reacted with shock upon seeing the DQ. According to the Italian broadcast, she walked to the officials’ table to protest, and was turned away. King was apparently not given a reason for her DQ when she asked after her race. USA Swimming also did not know what it was for until about 30 minutes after the race, when it was told that King did a “non-simultaneous touch” on her first turn."
