2012's Leading Underwater Bubble Rings: Dominik Meichtry

(video courtesy of GoSwim)

Dominik Meichtry just changed the underwater bubble ring game forever. Perfect form, no breakage in the ring before hitting the surface... and the final two rings are a circus act. I would happily to pay to watch that.

It just reaffirms my belief that underwater bubble rings are quite simply the most underrated, unheralded and uncelebrated aspect of competitive swimming.

PS. If this doesn't vault Meichtry into the 200m Free leading contenders discussion, I don't know what will.
