Neither is guilty...
...pretaped footage to define them. Swimming Commentator Mark Spitz was only occasionally instructive; although shorter races are often won in the turns, neither he nor ABC's cameras demonstrated what makes a turn effective. Track Commentator O.J. Simpson added little to what viewers saw, although onetime Olympian Marty Liquori aptly explained pacing...
