Olympics: Chinese Swimmers And Water Bottle Conspiracy
Has anyone noticed how the Chinese swimmers douse themselves just before taking their mark on the blocks? Even if they are running behind they will hurry to do it.

My guess is that it is some type of mental trigger.

If your body is already wet you have less friction.

But the thing is, all the other swimmers splash themselves with pool water. Only the Chinese swimmers use water from a bottle. One even did it before entering the pool for a backstroke event.

I'm with OP, something is weird about it.

People rub baby oil on themselves and let it dry, then when they get wet it activates the baby oil again and it makes them slick.

UFC/MMA fighters do this sometimes when the don't want to be taken down.

How would it help a swimmer, and the big question remains: why don't the Chinese swimmers do what all the others do (use the pool water)?

Why are they wetting themselves down with the contents in those water bottles only?

Also, in the diving competitions, most of them went to the hot tub after the dives. a few didn't.

Do they do that cause the pool water is cold and the warm water allows them regulate the body temperature changes?

There are little nano-fish in the bottle which help the girls swim far fast than anyone else.
Dig deeper for the end is nigh.

On second thought, fuck digging, just find a sink hole!!!

The hot tub keeps the muscles from cramping. Especially if the swimmer is in multiple meets that day.
