VdH look like is back!
Magnini 2nd leg in 24.19 :notworthy:
Bousquet will not compete in 100 but 46.63 !!:eek:
Leveaux OR but he'll not get the chance too.
Cielo is in the game.
USA WR, solid but a little "unspiring" performance...
Tonight the gold will be wide open leading the way the France with Gilot and Bernard (with Leveaux and Bousquet on the paper all under 48s !! ), The Aussie with Sullivan.
Phelps went 47.51 to lead off, just .01 off the (now it's the old) world record.
GWG went 47.02
jones went 47.65
Lezak went 46.06 to Bernards 47.63
Bernard went 46.73. He tightened up, but not enough to go a mid-47.
I do wonder how much of Lezak's 46.0 was from being ready to swim (we'll find out in the 100), from catching a perfect draft, and from being psyched-out-of-his-gourd relay teammate.
