TS #12 - Brad Charlassier

For my 12th tutoring session I again met with Dojun over Skype. Before we started he asked me if I had changed rooms. I asked him I was not sure what he meant, knowing full well that the room I was in was completely different from the one I had been in while Skyping him up to this point. Seeing the confusion in his face, I quickly relieved him and said that I was joking. I told him that I had moved out of my apartment in Tallahassee. He asked where I am now and I told him that I was living at my parents house in South Florida. Today we talked about Micheal Phelps. He said he acknowledges how good of a swimmer Micheal Phelps is, but did not know who Ryan Lochte was. I explained to him that had Ryan Lochte been born at any other time, he would have been the clearly best swimmer America had to offer. Unfortunately for Lochte, Phelps was the same age as him and an absolute legend to not just American swimming but all of swimming. He explained to me that there was a big rivalry between the Chinese swimmer, Sun Yang, and the Korean swimmer, Park Tae-hwan, in the Asian swimming scene. They are both the top male swimmers for their countries, and constantly go head to head in Asian Games. He explained that the Asian Games were like the Olympics but for only Asian countries to participate in.
