Let's pick the lock: what will Phelps swim at trials/Beijing
Former Member
It's supposed to be a secret, but what will the boy swim this summer?
Definite, TRIALS
200 fly
200 IM
400 IM
200 free (especially for 800 free relay)
Probable, TRIALS
100 fly (especially for 400 medley relay)
100 free
Maybe, TRIALS
200 back
400 free??? (I have NO idea; it doesn't seem like he's training for it)
Definite, BEIJING
200 fly
200 IM
400 IM
But what would his other 2 individual events be?
EDIT: mod edited for me!
he won't swim the 50 fr, 1,500 fr, 100 br, & 200 br
he could swim the 400 free but probably not
Michael will to swim the
100 & 200 fly
200 & 400 IM
200 free
he has an excellent 100 & 200 back
so probably the 200 back & 100 backstroke
he comes home amazingly fast in the both the 100 & 200 bk
probably the 100 free so he will have a time from Olympic Trials to get on the 4 x 100 relay and not have the controversy he faced in 2004 where he didn't swim the 100 free but swam it on a relay at the Olympics much to Gary Hall's dismay and protest. I would have him swim it once, post a blazing time then scratch the semi's and finals, but he'll probably swim all the way through
He's amazing at back to back events in the same session
