Not a great start but what a great 2nd 25 and that turn was awesome. And then just brought it home. 52.54?????? What a SWIM!!!!!
You are a big time performer when it matters most.
Also, way to go to Matt Grevers. ANOTHER PB and broke the existing WR for the silver.

WAY TO GO AARON AND MATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was awesome!!!
He is such an incredible competitor... I love the swims where the winner came from behind.
Matt Grevers coming in 2nd was AWESOME... man, is that kid TALL!
The US was 3 for 4 in gold medals tonight - how cool is that!?!?!?!?
That was re-dic! My love for Peirsol is well known but seriously that was all sorts of amazing. I knew when he was in second off the turn that he was fine. I love that he swims prelims and semis the way he does, conserving his energy, but darn it always makes me just a smidge nervous.
Great swims by Grevers, Natalie, Margaret, and Rebecca, too.
aaron piersol is the man. He's got that ability to win that most people don't have. He's got "it". The same way that John Elway, Micheal Jordan, and Phelps, got "it". He does it in a laid back style too, he is awesome.

I thought he looked and swam like he was physically ill in his prelims and semis.
Then he turns around at smash his WR. I feel stupid for doubting now.
Peirsol is known for building through the prelims, semis, and finals.
We saw it at trials. In fact, it's rare that he swims from Lane 4 in finals in the 100 back
Piersol is the definition of a real pro...I'm a huge fan of that guy...He has such a great attitude. Man he knows how to race. You just can't help but root for someone like that. Hope he takes the 200 also...:applaud::applaud::applaud:.
