Something Cavic said after the race was interesting, he said that at the 50 he saw how close Phelps was to him and knew he was going to lose. He was almost .7 seconds in front of Phelps.
1. In a 100M race against the best swimmer in the world, how can anyone expect to have an insurmountable lead at the 50? You have to be able swim the whole race hard.
2. I think that Cavic's loss in the Olympics had to be on his mind every day since then, causing him to make some rash comments earlier this week.
3. If Cavic feels that he needs more than .7 seconds lead at the 50 to beat Phelps and swims the second 50 of the 100 fly waiting and expecting Phelps to sprint by him at the end, he is NEVER going to beat Phelps.
4. Cavic has better speed than Phelps but until he can hold that speed until the end, Phelps will have his number. :2cents:
