No. Čavić is way too classy for such vitriol. You gotta remember that Čavić was born and raised a laid back Californian.
And besides, he should be busy preparing to swim and not poking and tweeting.
And Phelps should have been busy training.:bed:
Damn, somebody has an ax to grind! Wait a minute....is this Cavic?
LMAO...
The Cavic vs Phelps rivalry has nothing on the classic Geek vs Stud forum duels of the mid oughts...
I don't particularly like Phelps either...but he has appeared to grow as a person since 08 and shown some humility...
Bet he does not retire, but comes back and swims just the 100 fly, 100 free, and 200 free; (perhaps just on relays - I have to believe he could still be top 6 for the US in the 100 and 200 free with a much lighter training load.
I think the original plan was to retire "on top" and win some individual golds. I don't think he wanted to appear as a shell of his former self. Although I agree that he *could* do what you mention with a lighter workload, he's made it sound like he wants ZERO workload.
Related to this, I smiled at one of the underwater shots of the women's 400 IM when Beisel broke a streamline to look at the rest of the field during the breaststroke pullout. It was better done and I don't think really cost her anything, but it reminded me of age-group swimming.
I had a bad habit of looking around at the END of races. That was cured when I did that, at age 11, at the end of a league championship race, and went from 2nd to 4th, and out of the medals!
I hope he smokes Cavic and leaves no doubt!
Also, when did this olympics suddenly become about Phelps' mom? I am so sick and tired of seeing her face at every meet It's pathetic. The typical swim mom.
I think they should just show his sisters. They're a lot easier on the eyes! :bolt:
It's too bad the last thing she's ever going to see is her son lose his very last fly event.
I don't see Phelps losing to Cavic.He smoked him at 2009 Worlds when Cavic was in better shape and in a faster suit.I'm not saying Phelps will win,just I don't see Cavic beating him.The great thing is we will know in a couple of days.
And he comes back to anchor the 4 x 200 free relay that gives him a big lead over the french & they win 1st place. How's that for an evening ??? !!:applaud:
