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 was just .26 behind Sullivan. I'd say that was plenty close for a middle distance freestyler against a pure sprinter!
I agree. Phelps was right there and did exactly what he needed to do (as did everyone else) to put them in position for the gold. I am quite sure that Phelps is capable of changing gears and if he decides to train for the 100, you will see some serious speed.
