I am so not happy about Fox giving her this hosting gig. Then again, I was always on Team Evans when the Janet Evans and Summer Sanders feud was happening. The sports media never portrayed Matt Biondi and Tom Yaeger(don't remember his last name that well) feuding with each other.
Now I know the source of the information is incorrect. My source of information was the man himself Michael Phelps. I saw him today at the University of Michigan/Ohio State dual meet at Canham Natatorium in Ann Arbor. There was no announcement but he swam two exibition races today during the breaks in the meet. He swam in the center of the pool in a time trail like setting all by himself. After the meet, there was a meet and greet with people standing in a line to get things signed. I asked him to sign the two meet programs that I had and congratulated him on the good swims and the ten million dollar compensation package that he receives yearly that I read on a swimming website. He looked at me like I was from another planet and said someone knows something neither his agent or himself knows. I said nothing and shook his hand and left the line.
The two events he swam were the 200 IM and the 100 Fly. He swam a 1:46.05, missing his pool record from last year by .02 and his splits were :21.93, :25.71, :30.60, and :24.85. He did the 100 Fly in a new pool record of :46.03 and split :21.95 and :24.08. In another exibition race Kleete Keller and Chris Thompson swam a 500 Free. Kleete want 4:19 spliting 2:07 at the (250) half way mark. Chris Thompson went a 4:27. Chis de Young was the star of the Michigan team setting a pool record in the 200 Back at 1:42.83 breaking his own pool record of 1:44.30. The Michigan team won every event except the last event, which was the 200 Free Relay and Bill Wadley's squad won that event.
This was the first meet that I have been to where no one left during the diving. Michael got in to warm up and everyone was watching and some people were down by the railing video taping his warm up. At the conclusion of the meet there was no clear out and everyone stayed and watched Bob Bowman as he mounted the deck to put the team thru a light workout before they would get on the bus and head out to Bloomington, Indiana for a dual meet with IU at noon tomorrow. The place was packed with lots of swimming fans.
