Tonight's 200 free final looks like it should be a real dogfight. How will it all shake out? Here's my prediction:
Gold Agnel
Silver Sun
Bronze Park
I think Lochte just misses out. I'd love to see him make the podium, but that's my gut feel.
Anyone else want to make a prediction? :cheerleader:
Yeah, not too shabby! I wouldn't have expected Agnel to be so far ahead, though.
Lochte is clearly not as good a freestyler as those other guys. He kills on the turns, but can't quite keep up during the swimming portion.
He seemed really down in the interview afterward -- as though the silver in the relay had really brought him down and shaken his confidence. I felt bad. And he said that he's swum faster before. So, I think he had a bad race, not that he is lacking in ability and training.
Makes me wonder what would have happened if he'd been spared the relay and been coming off the high of the 400 IM....
