Yep- no sign of Bowman
Bowman and phelps were side by side in the swedish interview after the 100 fly. bowmans only comment was how that was phelps' fastest opening 50 and how en knew then that he would go under :50.
What ifs ... butt sniffs! Ever heard of the Australian outback town of Koodabeen? Maybe you can drop in some time!
It's good sh*t like this that really helps the taper bitchies!
"Lazlo must be getting sick of getting beat by American."
Well, he did get sick...on the way to Rome from Hungary. They rushed with him to a hospital straight from the airport...40 Celsius fever, Diarrhea,etc.
He got infusions and stuff.
It was questionable if he can compete in Rome at all. He skipped 200 Butterfly to rest more. In Beijing he almost beat Phelps on 200 Butterfly. 5 meters more and Cseh would have got the Gold.
Oh well, there is always another Olypics and WC...
Well, he "recovered" enough to be able to swim but obviously not enough to win. 400 IM was his to win...
He said in an interview that the sickness threw him back. He will never tell this to the international press as he is a very modest guy.
I still can't believ the US doesn't race the 50s and so our 100 swimmers double up.Soni did great,but Bal held the 50 BK WR and should have had the chance to compete in it at trials.
Ooh look some buts and ifs
400 IM was his to win...
Well that's one view. Another view is that he was good enough to go a personal best time many days ago in the 200IM so one might think on the last day of the meet he would be game for the 400IM. Let's not forget Lochte is still the 2nd fastest all time in this event so I'm not sure where you get the notion that the race was "his to win" as if Cseh has assumed superiority in this race.
It was questionable if he can compete in Rome at all. He skipped 200 Butterfly to rest more. In Beijing he almost beat Phelps on 200 Butterfly. 5 meters more and Cseh would have got the Gold. Likewise if Phelps didn't have his goggles fill up with water your scenario would be moot anyway. Given how he improved his other 2007 records he may have been 1:50. Cseh at his best is capable of competing against and potentially beating Lochte at his best. That's not true of Phelps in the 200 fly if both are "on." What ifs ... butt sniffs!

Well until there is a 205 Fly I guess he's SOL. I hate when people say this stuff...its a 200, not a 205, make your move earlier.
Lots of good racing to look forward to on the final day.
I am wondering what the 1500 record is going to look like at the end of the day. Likewise the mens and women's 400IM. Will Lochte get the 400 IM WR, too? He has a good chance. And has Dara being saving herself up? Is she going to surprise us in the 50 free?
