    Interesting that of all the things that could be discussed about Phelps interview no one has brought up the finish of the 100 fly. Time and again we (I) are calling people out for focusing on the training and not the details...Cavic lifting his head to see the scoreboard at the finish was a history making mistake. Here's an idea...yes training hard is important...but none of that matters if day in day out your not thinking about, dreaming about and practicing perfect technique. I thought they both messed up on the finish. Phelps admitted he came into the wall on a half stroke. I thought he said he got lucky and screwed up less - the half stroke was faster than the glide in stroke.
