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!)

Just for the record, I think Lindsay's post re retitling the thread was eminently sensible and hilarious besides (of course, I thought my 'Kitajima Conspiracy' was pretty funny, so go figure).
The whole navel-gazing dissection reduces to absurdity; the false start happened, bad result, gracious pickup by Phelps and team mates. On to the Olympics!
