No matter how un-Phelps-like shape he was in for the 200 free, He still can break a world record in the 200 fly. He doesn't need the endurance training that is usually needed for the 200 fly to break a world record. Simply amazing. Of course, part of that swim was out of anger for his 200 free loss. His swimming is pretty amazing after 6 months of training and a crappy suit.
I can't imagine how angry I'd have to get to swim a 200m fly. Serenity now…serenity now… :D
On another note, I think it'll be interesting to see what sort of psychological effect loosing the tech suits will have on some of the swimmers. Based on some of the cursory comments from swimmers and coaches, it sounds like some are already talking themselves out of equivalent or faster times?
