Organization: University of Delaware, Newark


Results from the heats of the Men's 200 metres breast-stroke in which 
Bangladesh swimmer Mukhlesur Rahman participated. He had the slowest 
times amongst all who participated in the heats. Interestingly the
swimmers in heat 1 had the slowest overall time. The fastest finisher
having a time less than the slowest finisher in some other heat. Was
this an accident of coincidence, or do the powers that be put in the
athletes with the slowest qualifying records in one pool, so as not
to embarrass them too much? My congratulations to Mukhlesur Rahman
for participating.
