From about the middle of the race on, there was a deafening wave of sound that followed her from one end of the pool to the other. Almost like "the wave" at a sporting event. But way better and more electric. I was only a few feet from the official when the bell sounded for the final lap, but I couldn't hear it!
I wonder how much the crowd helped her. I saw Michael Phelps set a WR in the 200 Fly back in February. We could see his splits on the scoreboard and at each 50 the announcer read the WR splits. At the final turn, he was behind WR pace but not by much. The entire crowd jumped to its feet and screamed as he swam the last length.
Afterward, in an interview, he said that he could hear the crowd and he knew that there was "something" going on.
