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 ...

Jim, granted, the logic doesn't apply if you allow all countries to bring three competitors per event, but it does if you allow countries to bring extra athletes if those athletes are top ranked.
In the same spirit as Peter's proposal, perhaps we should allow corporate teams? One would guess that that would lead to better financial support of the athletes. I wonder what the average cost would be to convince an athlete to swim on Team Speedo instead of Team USA.
