In the spirit of calmer, more reasoned discourse- I hope to start a swimming-related one that nevertheless could get our juices flowing. Namely, let's get out on a real limb (before U.S. trials) & fearlessly predict results of Olympic events. You may choose as many or few to predict as you wish- and in a few months some of us may look very swimming-wise or perhaps foolish.
I will wade into it with the event that has been thrown open by Ian Thorpes poor sense of balance, the mens 400m free:
The winner is Perkins of Australia in close to world-record time.
Supplementary prediction: there will be no American on that podium.

If Spitz' record is broken, consideration should be given as to where and how Ellison will be eating crow. Will it be at 2005 SCY Nationals and would he have it baked, stuffed, broiled, BBQ'd or fried? There's an abundant supply of them in my back yard. They never seem to miss my car either. :p
