#10	G Lopez February 2 at 6:10pm That gold is his. I sent an email to PBS History Detectives to find out where the metal is today? It's probably in the Olympic museam in Lausanne Switzerland. This situation needs to more public attention to reverse what happened. The DVD," Negative Split", was a great start. PS I couldn't even sleep last night. reply

Rick was in 8th place after the first 100, 5th place after 200, 3rd place after 300, and 1st place at the finish. He was the best in the world in the 1500 free in the 1970's too! reply

Rick was the first swimmer to apply the track race approach of negative splitting a swim race.
This is part of my sit down with one of the smartest minds in coaching, and it's fascinating to hear his views on the sport.
