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

I know this is in jest, but just to be clear, Phelps isn't THAT good.
Why did Phelps go a 1:53 in prelims in the 200 fly? That might cost him...
Phelps had zero prelim races today. So before finals (our time) tonight - he had the most rest since the Olympics started. The 4x200 is 59 minutes after the start of 200 fly. I think Phelps can handle it - just like he handled 200 fly after the 200 free final. Which was the exact opposite order of swims tonight.
