    I doubt you'd have said that before the French and Australian trials so why rule out the US as contenders for Gold before the US trials? It's a bit premature. I do agree that it will be tough for Phelps to get the 7th and 8th but it's too early to conclude it's beyond his reach. Yeah but the thing was frace and austrialia both had rising superstars comming into trail. People were saying I can't wait to see what bernard or sullivan do in trails. For the US its more along the lines of I can't wait to see someone do well. US will probably improve but we won't win. France looks to strong to be taken down we dont even need to wait for us trails to say it. Bernard- 47.50 no american is going to get that. Gilot 48.02- you know the top 2 americans times wont add up to bernard and gilot. Leveaux- 48.38 was extremely disapointed with this time. 21.38 in the 50 and 1:46.x in the 200, the 100 time doesn't match up, he is going to get faster. Bousquet- very soild freestyler. Its going to be tough for the US to match up to this.
