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!)

Kirk all I was getting at is that we can't expect athletes to be perfect, they make errors, too. Expecting them to be perfect is holding them to too high of a standard.
Anyone know when the last time Ian swam that relay and wasn't diving in after Hansen? I can't remember it, probably was an exchange to Moses?? It's been awhile and his timing was off ... freakin' move on people! Geez ...
agreed. completly.
