CLOSING CEREMONY
Former Member
Thanks for the link. I thought this part was interesting, in light of the recent thread about scholarships awarded to foreign swimmers:
Dave Salo, who coaches Lezak, said the dearth of elite U.S. sprinters is partly because of the number of foreign athletes now recruited by U.S. college coaches. Schoeman and Neethling swam for the University of Arizona. Croatia's Duje Draganja, who finished fifth Thursday, swims for California.
"So much of the collegiate ranks are dominated by mature Europeans and foreign athletes that they're supplanting the American kids who aren't getting the chance to emerge as they get older," said Salo, the head U.S. men's coach in Montreal. "So we're truly not seeing a development of American sprinters in the collegiate ranks as we once used to do. Most of our dominance in the collegiate ranks for American guys has been in stroke events (breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly).
"But I think it takes a little bit more time to develop that sprinter, and I think (college coaches) are going to a more mature, little bit older European kid who's had a little bit more experience, who's coming to college at 20, 21, a little bit more seasoned veteran."
With that being said the Eddie Reese coached men are probably having the best meet of all especially when you consider in addition to Crocker, Hansen and Peirsol, the Neil Walker relay leg. I think that Crocker is going to kill Phelps in the 100 fly tonight and go below 51 with a possible new world record...
Yeah, that Eddie Reese is one talented coach.
Does anyone think that Hackett can be stopped tomorrow night. Just wondering. It just seems that the Russian guy, Davies from Britain and the US guy are closing in on him.
how about crocker's 50.40 100 m fly?
what an incredible swim?
phelps was more than a second behind at 51.65
schoeman's 21.69 50 was quite awesome
jones 2:21.72 new world record in the 200 ***
hansen swam a solid 200 br 2:09.85
he was out very fast in 1:01.29

I think that the US should go with all Texas squad of Peirsol, Hansen, Crocker and Walker in the medley relay tomorrow. I suspect though that Lezak will get the nod for the final and Walker will be relegated to the prelims. What's scary is that I think that a US "B" team of Bal, Gangloff, Phelps and either Lezak or Walker could still win the title by a big margin...
The Aussie women have been amazing. The US women have some catching up to do...

MONTREAL - Nearly a year after the Athens Olympics, American stars
Michael Phelps and
Natalie Coughlin are less motivated and in worse shape. Then there's
Aaron Peirsol. The 22-year-old American solidified his title as king of the backstroke by breaking his own world record in the 200 meters Friday at the World Swimming Championships.
An AP Sports Writer is saying that Natalie and Phelps are getting worse . I don't really think that they are getting worse. But, to say that Phelps is getting worse is crazy. He is just not having the great meet like in Athens. He had some injuries to deal with, relocated to Michigan and he had to deal with the DUI. The boy is still young and has many good years left. Plus, it is swimming different events here.
It's a little premature (100 fly finals tonight), but at this point I'd say there is no one like Eddie Reese for getting the most from his swimmers. I'm really impressed.
On the other hand, I've felt for a while that Natalie could benefit from a change. All that talent needs better guidance, IMHO

Mens' 100 BU. I couldn't be happier. This wasn't even close...Can anyone remember when someone won a 100 in any stroke by such a margin (1.25) at a meet like this? The women's 800 just started, I think Zeigler can go under 8:20. And schoeman just off the WR in the 50 (.05). He has such a great start. I'm thinking Aaron is now the best backstroker of all time, ahead of Mathes and Naber.
Former Member
Zeigler won but wasn't close to 8:20, swam a 8:25.31. Out in a 2:03.53, second 200 was a 2:07, the third 2 a 2:08, and the last 200 came back in a 2:06.9. Reimer the silver and Olympic champ Shibata the bronze.
I think that the biggest problem with Natalie is lack of training. She was out of the water with a foot injury until January. Then because she was trying to graduate from Cal she was only doing one swimming workout/day (6:30-8:00 a.m.) and then Pilates in the afternoon. GOSH I do more than that so it is impressive that she has done as well at these World Champs as she has. I believe that her approach is a good one. I don't think that one can train with high intensity for the entire four year between Olympiads and the year after is probably the best one to "slack" some...
