what did Phelps swim the 100 in, 47.79? not that's only .2 off his time from this past summer.
he was 3rd as lead off and 16th over all (including rolling starts)
I think he is ready to swim fast this week....
I am Phelps' man through and through. He will triumph over all these mere pretenders, desperately, futilely trying to get a fifteen minutes of fame by being the victor over the rightful King Michael. And the media!- grrr, those annoying twits... they always have to harangue him and say he's lost his edge every single time he loses and Phelps is like... "um, excuse me?" *Phelps proceeds to pull Amazing Feat #208,919 out of his ass* "Chew on that, guys."
Phelps always comes back, with timeliness and grace. That is something many of these one-trick swimmers can't even dream to do.
I think Phelps' freestyle is a bit off.
Didn't he say after the Olympics that he was tinkering with his free technique? Wonder if that is part. (The other part being taking 6 months off after Beijing.)
Biedermann will be slower tomorrow and Phelps will reset the WR. I put the spread at .80
This is a tough call... Unfortunately, the audience isn't able to invest directly into the race... (why?)

bodog had lines for the last olympics. Cielo was 25-1 to win the 50. Suckers.
So Phelps is seeded 3rd for the finals tomorrow. He won his heat, thought two guys were faster in the other heat.
I think Phelps' freestyle is a bit off. His freestyle races this year have been good, but not great. So I will not be surprised if he gets beat. But I won't bet on it.

So am I.
I like the way Phelps said something like if he loses for not wearing one of these record-setting bodysuits against someone who does, that would just make him push himself even harder to win next time.
