The Race!

I have transferred that race from my DVR to my computer and I think I have watched it at least 20 times. Anybody have a link to the video? It was up briefly on YouTube, then pulled. One of the best last turns and finishes I've ever seen.

Someone needs to x-ray Phelps because he's a machine. My prediction: Lochte has a slight lead coming out of *** but Phelps drops the hammer and splits the free in 56.10 for a 4:02.75

www.nbcolympics.com has it. Thanks.

www.nbcolympics.com has it. It seems they do not have the Men's or Women's 400 IM finals there. Unless I am completely blind, I looked several times and could not find them. And WTF is up with how the video's play? Total garbage.

I know that Phelps wasn't fully tapered for trials, but something just tells me that Lochte will pull the upset.

Do you think Ryan is capable of duplicating that last turn underwater kick? No, but Chuck Norris could.

I think Phelps gets it and builds a lead before the free this time. The mustache makes him unstoppable.

Expect almost all the American's to beat their trials times as I don't think the Trials pool was super fast. I'd be surprised. Historically I think most swim slower than at Trials. If I had to bet on an event that could take down Phelps' pursuit of eight gold medals it would be the 4x100 free relay, not the 400 IM.

I think with the amount of drop that Lochte had at Trials....he will be hard pressed to do that again which is what I think it will take to win this time. He dropped 3+ seconds to come up with a lifetime best and what would have been a WR. But Michael was killer on that last turn.....He always seems to be able to grind out whatever it takes to win...... Predictions.......Phelps 4:03 high or 4:04 low Lochte 4:05 mid to high
