Associated Press Fail

Posted May 14, 2010 at 10:23 pm by Suz in Press Screw-Ups

We’re real quick to point out when media members have huge mistakes in their work. We’ve been there ourselves except our work isn’t broadcast out to millions on the internetz and on major news outlets like ESPN.

The Charlotte UltraSwim is going on right now and there was a great race tonight in the 200 Free featuring Michael Phelps and Swim Aid favorite Peter Vanderkaay.

It’s just too bad that the Associated Press thought that race was the 100 Fly. Have you seen PVK swim the fly? We have. And it aint pretty. (We still love you, Pete!)

Behold the screencap, because I’m pretty sure they’ll eventually fix it! They have to, right?

Also, what’s a “400 IM relay”? That was in that article as well. I’m familiar with a 400 Medley relay, but that event hasn’t taken place yet…

Oops?
