Open Water. The Great Equalizer
The Beijing Olympics will introduce a new event to the competition schedule in the 10k open water swim. The first round of qualifiers will be determined this weekend on May 3rd and May 4th at the Seville World Championships. With incredibly talented swimmers converging on Seville for their shot to swim in Beijing, surely the elements and the 6.2 mile distance will separate the fish from fish food. The uncontrollable, unpredictable nature of swimming in open water makes speculation a lot of fun, nearly impossible to pick a sure-thing winner.
