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!

OK,,,now I'm changing my mind. Phelps has had a rough year. I don't think he will be able to repeat his 200FR time from last year. I don't think the 400Fr is a possibility either. The choice of events this past weekend were a bit of a surprise. I sense a little bit of panic on Bowmans part. I'm sure he will swim and win the 400IM, although the Hungarian will give him all he can handle. I don't think the Americans will take gold in the 400FR relay in China and I think Phelps knows it. He is going to have to swim 6 individual events to get the magic record. That means taking down both Piersol and Crocker in the 100. Oops, did I just put that in writing. I expect a pretty lack luster freestype performance from him at the trials. He is going to need a win in the 100 fly and 100 back to make it happen! Did you see that split on the 100 back this past weekend- wow...:duel:
