2009 ROMA 2009 :13th FINA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Phelps took 17 strokes down and 18 back. I take 19 or 20 on my first 50 and (guessing because I don't remember) 24 or 25 on the second... then again, I'm 8 inches shorter than him, and the word "wingspan" does not apply to me... I watched the whole 2 hour broadcast on NBC, and don't recall seeing a single shot of Bowman, nor do I recall hearing mention of him. Yep- no sign of Bowman
