My heart goes out to Katie Hoff. In Athens, she was not able to do as well as she could. Now here in Beijing, same thing. She can and has shown she is a world beater, a world record holder but she is having an off time in Beijing. I hope she doesnt give up swimming.
Apparently Leisel Jones seriously considered giving up swimming after Athens because of not being able to get that elusive gold in Sydney or at Athens.
But she didnt and history was written.
I hope that Katie will continue, but I hope she shortens her programme next time so that she can take sure gold in some events rather than attempt a "Michael Phelps."
Yeah, actually she was just off of her best time in the 400 IM (her previous WR) and I think her times in both the 200 and 400 free were good for her. She had to be tired in the 200 IM. I think she has a great shot at the 800 especially with Kate Ziegler not looking to be in top form and the women's 800 free relay should be awesome.
