2012 OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS
I'm not trying to denigrate the performances in Charlotte, just pointing out that relative to other swims at this meet they were not as compelling time-wise.
You do realize that none of the big guns were shaved, tapered or rested for this meet? Most of the women had more leg hair than wookiee. Adrian and Lezak weren't there either. I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from this meet other than Lochte can turn it on when he wants to and we have a lot of promising young female swimmers coming up through the ranks.
