Police discredit Ryan Lochte’s robbery story, say swimmers owe Rio an apology washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/brazil-stops-two-us-olympic-swimmers-from-leaving-country-over-robbery- case/2016/08/18/5bfdee66-6540-11e6-96c0-37533479f3f5_story.html RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazilian police Thursday accused swimming star Ryan Lochte of fabricating his story of being held up along with three of his U.S. Olympic teammates by armed assailants. But the authorities also acknowledged a gun was pulled on the foursome by a security guard early Sunday at a Rio de Janeiro gas station, where the swimmers apparently damaged property at the end of a late-night excursion. The police statement contradicting Lochte’s account was later corroborated by a lawyer who represented two of Lochte’s fellow U.S. swimmers. The episode threatened to overshadow the Rio Games and what has been a stellar performance by U.S. athletes, led by the American swimming team that ended its competition here last week. “No robbery was committed against these athletes,” Fernando Veloso, chief of the Rio de Janeiro police investigative division, said during a packed news conference Thursday afternoon. “They were not victims of the crimes they claimed.” Early Friday, Breno Melaragno, the lawyer for swimmer Jimmy Feigen, said that under an agreement reached with a Brazilian judge, Feigen will donate roughly $10,800 to an unnamed institution and then depart the country, the Associated Press reported. Late Thursday, the U.S. Olympic Committee issued a statement that acknowledged a version of events that involved an argument spurred by “an act of vandalism” committed by “one of the athletes.” The statement concluded, “We apologize to our hosts in Rio and the people of Brazil for this distracting ordeal in the midst of what should rightly be a celebration of excellence.” 1/1.

Tiger Times SPECIAL EDITION July / August 2020
SWIMMER’S NEWSLETTER FOR PRINCETON TIGER AQUATICS CLUB Tigers are Back in the Pool! by: Aditi Pavuluri It’s been a strange past few months for swimmers across the country, and one of the few times in history where there have been no competitions or practice taking place. The Olympics were postponed for the first time ever, and competitive swimmers across the globe are wondering when they can start competing again. As of two weeks ago, swimmers have taken to the pool for the first time in months. To pass the time, they’ve been working out over Zoom, and doing as much work as they could while still socially distanced. By working on technique, starts, turns, and speed, the Tigers have been trying to get in as much swimming as they can to make up for lost time. It will be a fresh start for us, and a way to start using muscles that haven’t been awoken in months. And though we’ve been staying in shape, we might not necessarily have been staying in swimming shape. Getting back into the pool is something that every swimmer is having to experience, and know that we’re in this together. So right now is the perfect time to improve on something that you’ve been holding off on during competition season. Our perspective might have to change from “getting back to where we came from” to “how far we can go”. Take advantage of this new and unusual time to better yourself as a swimmer. Go Tigers! SWIMMER’S NEWSLETTER FOR PRINCETON TIGER AQUATICS CLUB Monthly Motivation Ready for Normal.

Men's Olympic Swimming Sinks While Title IX Swims Megan Ryther

INTRODUCTION At the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, the U.S. Men's Olympic Swimming Team (the U.S. Team) was defeated for the first time ever 2 in the 4x100 Freestyle Relay' in international competition by the Australians. Many people thought this was a fluke and the United States would come back with a vengeance in 2004, but that was not the case. At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, the U.S. Team could not even manage to walk away with a silver medal, let alone a gold medal, in the 4x100 Freestyle Relay, an event it had once dominated. 3 The U.S. Team lost to South Africa and the 4 Netherlands, respectively, coming home with only a bronze. As one begins to search for answers as to why the United States continues to lose its dominance on the international swimming scene, an analysis of Title IX and its unintended consequences may provide some of the necessary answers.

Sexism in the 2016 Rio Olympics in 1896, in the Bay Of
Abigail Merrill ENGL 1010 Professor Womack Swimming in the Men’s Lane: Sexism in the 2016 Rio Olympics In 1896, in the Bay of Zea off the coast of Piraeus, thirteen males from four different nations competed for the first medal in one of the most exciting and popular sports in Summer Olympic history. (“Swimming at the Summer Olympic Games”) It wasn’t until later, at the 1912 Stockholm Summer Olympic Games, that women were included into this exhilarating sport. Fast forward 104 years and women are dominating Olympic swimming and proving to be fierce competition; however, they still face a great deal of sexism. For years, women have shined at sports, but have been belittled by the sexism of the media. In 1988, Krisztina Egerszegi became the youngest swimmer to win a medal. Her nickname was “the Little Mouse,” “due to her youth, size and a phonetic similarity between her name and the Hungarian word for mouse.” (Anderson, Race, Bowmile, & Keith) Then, in 1996, Amanda Beard “became the second-youngest swimmer in American history to win an Olympic medal.” (Anderson et al.) Oddly enough, the main focus of this 14-year-old gold medal winner’s Olympic appearance was her infamous teddy bear that she carried around everywhere. In the media portrayal, there is often a bias towards men, which impacts female swimmers. Even injuries are reported on differently with male and female swimmers. Through the deification of Michael Phelps and the hyper-focus on women’s’ role in their family and their appearance, female Olympic swimmers are not gaining the recognition that they deserve for their accomplishments.

33 Epic Workouts Form Some the USA's Best Coaches
HEYO. Over the past few years of putting together articles for SwimSwam, USA Swimming, and my own website YourSwimBook.com I have come across all manner of sets and workouts for swimmers. Some of them were posted on SwimSwam in the Coach’s Intel column, while some of the other swimming workouts were published on my site. This little eBook represents the best-of-the-best. There are workouts in here from Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, Josh Schneider, Mike Alexandrov, and various top-level coaches from across North America. There are sets for improving your kick, building a more powerful breakout, supercharging your underwater dolphin kick, increasing DPS and stroke rate, and so much more. My favorite? The Auburn sprint set (the first workout in this little PDF) is one that I tried on myself. I included a breakdown of the set as well as how I did. (It hurt.) If you have any questions about the workouts, simply send me an email via the newsletter. Enjoy! Olivier The Legal Stuff The information provided within this eBook is for general informational purposes only. Any use of this information is at your own risk. Always consult a physician before undergoing any strenuous exercise. And always go at least 5 seconds behind the swimmer in front of you. © Lane 6 Publishing, 2013-2016 1. THE OTHER AUBURN SPRINT SET As someone who trains exclusively on their own, there are times where I will freely admit that I could be pushing myself a little harder. Not having a coach, or someone next to me to push me when hitting peak levels of mental and physical exhaustion is a bit of a downer on occasion, but for the most part, I love the solo aspect of training.
