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!)

Fortress, I think of Crocker as that fat guy who swims fast. I once had him as my wallpaper just to kid my wife who is always bothering me about getting rid of neck or chin fat. Well, guess what? Crocker has that. Last week I got beaten by a guy by decimals in a 50 free. The guy looked old, was fatter than me, had lots of white hair, no visible muscles, and so forth; yet as a forum member says, the clock does not lie! I went over and asked him, where he'd been the last couple of years, and he said he hadn't been swimming any, but now he was swimming twice weekly so he decided to join the masters thing here in my home state of Goiás. He might have been a fast swimmer in the past and 50 meters is just speed, not much anything else. Well, at least I know I have a better time by two seconds than the one last week. I hope to regain it and hope he has done his best. billy fanstone
