The Columbus Grand Prix Does Not Exist
Ok, maybe I’m annoyed because it’s my hometown and the first big USA Swimming National meet that it’s hosted. Maybe it’s because I’m still tired from the alteration of my sleeping schedule.
This meet’s official title was Toyota Grand Prix at the Ohio State University. To many locals it was simply the Ohio State Grand Prix.
But nowhere has or was this meet ever named the “Columbus Grand Prix”, so stop calling it that! This reminds me of last summer’s Japan International Meet that so many mistakenly referred to as the Japan Open. That truly puzzled me.
The Ohio State University is located in Columbus, OH. We’re glad people know that.
No one was calling the Stanford Grand Prix the “Palo Alto Grand Prix” were they? No.
Stop the madness, I say!

Yeah, just because C-bus is known for the “almighty” OSU football team (notice how I used “” around almighty?) doesn’t meant the town has it’s own culture and amazingness.
Right? Right?
Columbus has a lot to offer. I love it here! My point was simply that the meet was not named the Columbus Grand Prix. It’s not hard to get it right.
