Peirsol did win the 200 back, which is his better backstroke event of the two. He swam the 200IM prelim and went out REALLY fast. He went a 26 on the fly and was still in first place after the backstroke leg by nearly 2 seconds, and ended up in 10th place. I think he wore himself out for the 100 back. He had a bad (for him) second 50 and usually that's when he really comes to life ... hopefully everything is ok, he's not injured and there's no personal issues going on ... I'm sure by worlds he be in top form and get both backstroke golds ...
