All right, the Euro squad has been announced, and a pretty strong one at that which will give the Americans quite a challenge - especially on the women's side:

I've been looking everywhere but as of this point in time, haven't seen any official roster released for the E-star contingent, just that for Team USA...care to share? ;)I noticed after I posted that the list I was looking at on another blog was a rumoured list, my mistake.
Regarding the E-Stars (dumb name) line up: it cracks me up to see Torrance High grad Vlad Morozov swimming for Europe. He did move here at age 14, but he's definitely "made in the USA". Reminds me a bit of Sharapova playing tennis as a "Russian" even though she's lived and trained in Florida since she was 7 and sounds like a typical American 23 year old. There's a lot of that going around these days in sports, particularly swimming. More power to him, I just think it's a bit funny.

12.5 meters of coverage for both the men's and women's 800??? Shame on you, NBC. Is it really too much to ask for 10 minutes of coverage for each of these events? What does that equate to -- one crummy 1st round game of Wimbledon? An inning from one of the godawful number of pro baseball games?
