I just read that the men's 200 MR was DQd at Worlds. That race could've given Phelps a record 8th gold medal... bummer.
Phelps was very gracious about it. He said, "We came in here as a team, we exit as a team."
Sigh.
PS Did you see the size of his HANDS! I would like to swim just one race with hands his size, and feet the size of Thorpe's. (Yep, I have puny little paws!)

This concerns me a bit. Crocker has had issues with depression before and this has been a pretty bad meet for him. Even if he did not intentionally foil Phelps, I am certain he did not, he will surely be aware that many are thinking he did. I am sure that his family and friends are aware of these things and will be there to support him.
Knowing the nature of these swimmers, he will probably funnel all of this energy into the pool and make himself even greater.
