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 ...

The truth is I don't really understand nationalism in sport and I would prefer a nationalism-free competition. Of course no one would fund that. :(
i agree but funding would come from the corporate world (as it is now, i believe most funding comes from cooporate donors anyway). look at the world of pro cycling, soccer, baseball, etc. of course before le mond and lance there was little american interest in the sport.
