Eh, the Swimnetowrk profiles *look* good but are full of technical fail. Ryan's career highlights are off and a lot of the other athletes' profiles have wrong birthdates (years) listed (ex, Matt Grevers wasn't born in '81). I'm hoping they were in a hurry to get the new site up and are going to fix it soon.

also, is his nickname really "the Lochtenator"? I've never heard him called that. It's Reezy (and not "Reezy Deezy" ugh)

Seems like they rushed to put up the site before it was ready.

Re: They missed a few World Medals..... lenaorgana December 16 2009, 07:34:31 UTC

I think Swim Stars originated "The Lochtenator" nickname awhile ago, before Melbourne (it made Ryan's Wiki, in any case). No idea who came up with "Reezy Deezy," though.

Never been a fan of change but I liked the old Swimnetwork. It wasn't quite so...flashy. And all the old links are broken now, pictures are missing from profiles; it's just a huge mess.

I don't know what was wrong with the old site. Whatever, I'm sure we'll get used to it. They better get their facts right though.

xhoipolloix December 16 2009, 14:40:32 UTC

also I don't think they know what "infamous" means. The 800 free relay at the 2004 Olympics is famous, not infamous.

also he won NCAA swimmer of the year in 2005 and 2006. He won NCAA freshman of the year in 2003.

Maybe you should contact them and let them know their errors. :)

entropygoddess December 17 2009, 02:29:42 UTC

Maybe the writer has a little pro-Aussie bias, in which case it would be "infamous" in his/her eyes... But yeah, fail.

I HOPE THEY EFFIN' FIXED THEIR CRAP LIVE FEEDS.

xhoipolloix December 16 2009, 16:39:39 UTC

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SWEET ICON?

calidreamn08 December 16 2009, 21:04:35 UTC

Google Images LOL. Heather found an LJ site that has, like 48762195639 images of cupcakes. Have her link you <3
