From what I have read Eddie Reese told Lezak to take it easy to conserve energy and Lezak's coach (Dave Salo) said he should have gone full speed. Someone really screwed up on this one.
I hope Crocker does better in the 100 Fly or this is going to be a major disappointment-rumor is that he has some sort of bug.
The NBC talking heads had a 'fun fact' that Rowdy Gaines's time from 20 years ago (84 Olympics) was faster than Lezak's and just 7/100ths behind Crocker's 49.7.
It's hard to believe that the Russian rocket didn't make it either.
Crocker and Lezak are not having a great visit to the Olympics so far. We shall see if they can shake off the disappointments of the swimming that they have done so far.
I would like to see Phelps and Crocker get first and second in the 100 fly ... but with Phelps taking the gold and getting the WR back!
