I'd like to see Jones take it with a new American record.
the 50 is a total crap shoot
depends on
who's hits his taper
who hits a great start, SDK, Break out
who splits his race right
who has the best touch
there are many contenders
Ande, you are the Switzerland of the forums, never take a side, try to make everyone happy, and stay neutral. On the other side, I enjoy your watches and chocolate.

Oh they take sides, they just don't do it with firearms. PM me if you are interested in my POV.
I am pulling for Cullen Jones but Mr. Tobriner is one heck of an athlete as well. Jason Lezak is another favorite of mine due to his age.
I read on the forum a while back from the Good Smith... about the fifty free being a "controlled accident". What a great analogy.
Anything can happen.
When Jones went his 21.8 last summer...he was the last man off the blocks. Let's see what happens this time.
You said it Peter,
I think Popov might need to come out of retirement after the 50. That pool seems very fast and there are a couple guys who seem like they could do it.
I can't wait to get the e mail notification from Swimming World and then struggle to find out where I can watch the replay!!!!
Maybe if we're lucky, it will be on you tube in that high res, big screen format they have there.:shakeshead:
