But I prefer individual sports where my own performance is all I need to rely on. The team sports relay event bastardizes the individual sport pursuit of competitive swimming to create a mockery of a team sport endeavor. The end product is a farce that returns false results.”
“Four swimmers each race one quarter of the total distance and the combined time is measured against the other teams.” The sports reporter said. “How could that be a false result?”
“Your mind’s speculation suggested to you that the relay is not entirely valid but instead of listening to your own reasoned evaluation, you allow a politically correct view to take prominence in your altered opinion. So you are defending an untruth that your inner psyche knows is complete and utter bullshit.”
“Competitive mind-reading isn’t an Olympic individual sport event yet.” Belinda scoffed. “So forget about trying to win gold in it.”
“For no other reason than my own enjoyment, I individually swam the equivalent of a 4X100 relay in the pool today.” Scott reminded. “When I finished that, I displayed no signs of having employed my maximum exertion. To all casual observers, I was just engaging in a recreational swim. But you weren’t just that passive witness.”
“Your aura-reading hypnosis nonsense is the only bullshit here and it’s fast getting old.”
“The absurd suggestion of my employing paranormal hypnosis means to hit so closely to the true mark was your suggestion, not mine. Like our chauffeur, I’m not deaf. Through the open change room door, I heard you musing whether my individual time was sufficiently fast to have won Olympic gold by competing as a one-swimmer team. And you were correct. I have done the same distance as the four by 100 team sport relay all by myself—and closely challenged the Olympic winning times.”
INCREASE ENERGY SELF HYPNOSIS!!
“You hear me say that but you’ve obviously misinterpreted my reason for saying so. You erased the previous records in each of your four events by a wide margin but to do the relay alone, you’d need to swim four tenths of a kilometer in the four strokes at Olympic pace PLUS make up the time that three of those swimmers save in their power starts. I didn’t actually think you could do it: I was just searching for a pick-up-line to get an interview with you.”
“And in that individual sport event, you’ve won a gold for your team.”
