Now by the time most of you read this the finals will be over but ... Keller had the slowest split, OBVIOUSLY Phelps (& I'm guessing Lochte) are a done deal ... Vanderkaay put up a 1:46.67 leading off followed by Jayme Cramer's 1:47.97, David Walters 1:47.75 & Keller's 1:48.60 ...
Do you take a total rookie? Slightly more experience with Cramer, or a struggling but veteran Keller? Personally I say give the rookie a shot, who knows what he'll put up next year.
My prediction: Phelps, Lochte, Vanderkaay, & Cramer
I'd like to see ... Phelps, Lochte, Vanderkaay & Walters ...
If the US just went out and dominated every race in a 1-2 fashion always lowering the WR and never even making a real race out of it, it would get boring FAST.
In the old days (60s and 70s), we went 1-2-3 and it was never boring. FINA and the IOC made the "2 swimmers per event only" rule just for the USA, to make certain other countries were able to take home medals.
