I feel sorry for Crocker. If he wins the 100 metres butterfly, he will have effectively ruined a uniques olympic momentous quest that Phelps has embarked on.
No matter how good it is to win gold, poor Crocker would not be given the accolades he deserves if he spoilt Michael Phelps party. It wouldnt matter so much if Crocker wasnt in team USA but from another country. On the other hand he has to give his all. So effectively, he is damned if he does and damned if he doesnt
Crocker is going to do the best he can
Phelps is going to do the best he can
who ever wins
wins
I'm leaning towards phelps
since he went 47.5 in the 100 free and
crocker was 49.4 in the 100 free at trials
each swimmer has a ratio when you compare their
100 fly speed to their 100 free speed
can't wait to see how this race turns out
