Back on topic. Is Phelps going to go down today? The most likly candidates to do this would be Matsuda of Japan, who qualified first today and was the bronze medalist at the 2008 Olympics with a 1:52.97 and he looked good in the SF yesterday. The polish swimmer, Pawel Korzeniowski was the world's fastest in 2005, when Phelps didn't swim the event at the 2005 World Championships.
Does anybody give these guys a chance after what happened yesterday? I think chances of an upset when up considerably since yesterday.
