My instinctual reaction to this was to make fun of Michael Phelps for looking like he was prepping for a school shooting. I had every intention of slandering this random South African guy for shaking off the jitters like he was a background dancer in a Taylor Swift video. Then I gave it a little thought and came to the realization that these guys are Olympians getting ready to compete against the best in the world in a sport that doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for it's difficulty. That's when I understood that isn't their problem, it's a 'me' problem. These warm-up routines, as laughably dissimilar as they are, aren't all that ridiculous considering what they are in preparation for. They just appear that way to me because I am too simple minded to take people seriously when I know they are seconds away from disrobing into nothing more than a Speedo, a head condom, and a pair of children's goggles. As long as that is your uniform my immature subconscious will always make me think that whatever you do to help you focus prior to participation seems like it's a little excessive. Especially when you are the guy that has over 20 Olympic medals and you're staring angrily ahead like the kid who has been waiting for months to ace the SAT's. It's not broken don't fix it, but I'm far too childish to respond to that level of intensity from a man whose bulge I am about to see with anything other than a laugh.
