So classy for Kos to head dive into the water before the start.

Happy for Lasco but kinda feel bad for kos at this meet.

Lasco should have been disqualified because of his first turn. He was doing free kicks before the wall. Huge mistake for the referees.

[@phertek1]

And he made the same mistake at the 5th turn as well. 😮

@@petterv6604 no. He was already on his chest not on his side. Repeat it

[@phertek1]

@@petterv6604 even if he was on his side, the rule says it’s forbidden.

[@ZiggyBoon]

the backstroke turn rule addresses whether or not there is a delay in initiating the turn, not whether the swimmer is kicking while on the breast. once the swimmer is on the breast, the swimmer is allowed to do one single or double arm pull while on the breast as part of the turn and then must immediately initiate the turn upon completion of the arm pull. all of his turns met the requirements of this rule.

[@CampCucumber]

Misinterpretation of the rules, this is allowed.
@Ziggyboon a double arm pull is not allowed
