What does everyone think about Gary Hall's comments about Michael Phelps being on the 4 x 100 freestyle relay at the Olympics. Gary pretty much feels that Michael shouldn't be on the relay since he didn't swim the 100 at the Olympic trials. Michael is being considered for the relay, since he has posted the second fastest time by an American this year.
I personally think Michael should be on the relay if he is setting the water a fire at the Olympics. I think any true team member would give up their spot on a relay to someone who is faster. It is about the best possible relay team - GO USA!!!!
I imagine the same kind of thing could happen with Coughlin in the 800 free relay. There's not much question she's one of the top four U.S. women in the 200 free, yet she didn't swim the event at Trials. In fact her time at the JEI was almost a second faster than the winning time at Trials.
