Hey everyone,
Thought you all might enjoy the attached photos of Michael Phelps. We had great seats right behind lane 4, and he was (literally) only a few feet away when I took these photos. We got a good look at him, and all the other athletes. We saw Thorpe just as close-up a few weeks earlier at the Janet Evans Invitational. Both of these guys are built differently from the rest of the swimmers.
Anyway, enjoy!!

I thought as a group, the male backstrokers had less chest development compared to the sprint freestylers and breaststrokers.
We used to talk about how Spitz was double jointed so he could get longer propulsion from his strokes, now looking at Ian and Phelps, they both seemed so long in the torso. I thought Phelps towered above his competitors, but Ian was even taller!
Of course now that Swimmer Bill is in great shape, he kind of looks like a combination of Ian, Phelps and Thorpedo.
Now I could see Jody looking real close at the swimmers bodies, but shame on you Bill. I guess it was in the interest of science.
With your seats, what women stood out to you?
