Does anyone know who won the women's swimoff in the 200im? Beisel gave up her spot to rest up for the 200 back in the coming days. She's nowhere near as good in the 200IM as in the 400. It's good though because Dagny Knutson is a name for the future.
They're having a swim off for the 200 fly though. Results not up yet but I'm guessing NCAA champ Ohlgren dropped it to concentrate on the 200IM tonight.
The commentators said he false started.
yeah it was a false start. Ian crcoker chokes over 50% of the time. I think phelps should be on the final meadly relay in beijing even if ian wins the 100 fly.
no they didn't want grevers to place at all
Then that is really poor sportsmanship. Grever's will be representing the country at the Olympics. They have the right to be disappointed that their favorites didn't swim as well as they had wanted them too but not to want someone on the team that earned the spot, that's just poor.

that's what i meant, their favorite guy didn't make it, lochte or bal.
Grevers may have been the dark horse, but that doesn't mean he didn't earn it.
It was an extermely tight field. And Bal's 53.09 looked like he'd be the guy to beat.
That's got to be disappointing.
Seriously? By my count he's never choked. When has he truly choked? Let's see Olympics - I'm sure you'd bring up the 4 x 100 FR Relay - the guy had the flu - fever, etc. I don't think being sick counts as choking. He posted a monsertous time in the medley relay and just got out touched in the 100 fly.
Worlds 07 again good time got out touched by Phelps who has some of the best finishes in the world. The prelims of the medley - 99.9% of the time it's the swimmer in the water that you should/can default the DQ to - I don't think that's choking.
Nationals 07 there was a clear camera flash for that false start ... he was going off of the flash instead of the beep as he was probably trained to do.
Bottom line - get the nerves and DQ out in free and save the good stuff for fly.
So you don't think there is a pattern developing here?
Perhaps other elites are having the same issues and I am just not aware of it. :dunno:
