Why does the swimmer in the last lane or the first lane never wins any medal?

There is a reason why the guys swim in the middle lanes clock better and you may call it somewhat unfair too!

Waves always SPREAD;
they do not CONVERGE

The Guy in the Middle lane actually spreads waves towards the banks i.e. Lane 1 & 8. The guy who swims in the middle gets least impacted by waves created by others. Even thoug the wave created by the Guy in the immediate next lanes to him, the impact is relatively very small as the wave further travels to the banks of the pool.


Where as the Guys who swim near the banks get impacted by the waves generated by all others in the middle and also FULL 50% of the waves created by him. As the bank towards his left/right (depends on which side the bank lies) completely blocks and reverberates with 100% force back to him, he gets impacted by a double whammy! By waves created by all others in the middle and the wave created by himself.

By the time the wave created by him travels to the guy in the middle lane it would have become considerably weaker to adversely affect the performance of the guy swimming in the middle!

Thats because lanes are alloted as per timing in the qualifying & usually center lane, & similarly center track in athletics, is alloted to the one with best qualifying time.

Indian Mentality
by SSSSS on Aug 13, 2008 07:19 PM  | Hide replies

India is land of worshipping. People worship anything and everything here. Cricketers and occassional Olympic medal winners arent particular. In mathematical term corollary, it is going with the winners. Question is why? Answer is simple. Lack of confidence indirectly leading to no skillset.

Most of Indians lack confidence. Hence they blindly follow who have it and start worshipping them at some point. They never question why cant me? They cant. They are brought up in that way, and even God cant help.

A simple example was when Cricketer Bhajji,as he is called in love, was caught in racial abuse with Australian. Most of cricket lovers(fans is cheap word for them) said impossible. reason? Blind love. Next he slapped his own team-mate. Now most of these guys condemned. Why didnt you protect him now? Double-standards isnt it?

Someone rightly told on this forum regarding why Indians arent good managers. Inferiority complex and lack of confidence. They are good followers and hence British, Mughals and even now Congress is ruling. They never question their loyalty. But they question their patriotism. They dont react back when someone bombs their city.

Fear, lack of confidence, blind love and faith, no questioning, inferiority complex and thinking small are many things which will keep India backward forever.

PS: Mud sliders as rightly called, start showing your attitude and thinking. But remember, truth remains the same and harsh to accept always.

This guy is sick. Please educate yourself on the factors affecting pricing of products. Or maybe he knows he isnt making sense but posts anyway to garner some attention.

Rajnikant Beats Ben Johnson!
by Kabeer on Aug 13, 2008 06:55 PM  | Hide replies

Ben Johnson is running in a 100 metres sprint!

And next to that track is the swimming pool!

Rajnikant jumps into the pool and swims faster and beats Ben Johnson at the tape!

At the awards ceremony he throws a chewing gum on the forehead of the medal presenter and eats it on its reverberation!

Wise guy, you dont have to know the game to feel proud of a guy who won the gold medal for India. For that matter hpow nay really know cricket. Shooting is not something you see next doors unless you are in a crime ridden area in US HK or in the army.You are the clever guy who knows this.

how many of ind fans hv held a ckt bat in ind? but still, many of them applaud forget ind victory, but a single shot of four or six. same logic, bindra is praised, no harm in it.
if bindra praise, can arouse interest in shooting among them, then its a bonus.

Wierd logic...I dont need to know how he did it, a countryman has won a olympic gold medal, so we appreciate him. We dont need to know how the game is played. we leave the playing to the sportsmen. Thats why they are there instead of sitting on their ass in front of a computer and stupidly criticising others for not knowing the game. If rakesh sharma went to space I dont need to know how he went there. The fact he did go to space is good enough for me to applaud him
