Disappointing for Cochrane...

I still don't understand how he is allowed to swim at all 

 

There are certain countries that are allowed to do anything.  We just have to accept it.  Needless to say, Canada is not one of those countries (at least not in Summer).

He got bumped up to 5th, so there's still hope.

Yep it is

My goodness CBC.  "WATCH THE CLOCK!" and then they go ahead and block the clock with updates.  

 

Anyway, too bad for Ryan.  Big disappointment (we're used to that in the pool as Canadians).  Hopefully he can rebound in the 1500m.

Im so satisfied with Stjepanovic form. On 200 it could be huge pb.

Not impressed at all with CBC so far.

In London, Park got DQed for a false start in the heats, which allowed Cochrane to temporarily reach the final.  I was living in Korea at the time and all my co-workers angrily told me how it was all a conspiracy by the Canadians and FINA to get Ryan into the final.  I just laughed and laughed.  Like Canada has any influence in swimming.  It's like saying Fiji got a Canadian figure skater DQed.  In the end, Park was reinstated (when he really shouldn't have been).  So, guys, who really has the influence?
