Phelps carried on a bit, but he was pretty pumped. My theory: it is all part of his transformation into a sprinter. They wear their hearts on their sleeves and act a little crazy.
It is just personal preference, but I've always liked the "act like you've been there" types rather than the Track & Field sprinters. Where even the silver and bronze modelists strut around as if they've just invented the cure for cancer.
I also didn't mind Cavic's pre-race comments. They seemed honest (ie, reflecting what he thought) rather than the usual pre-race/game platitudes. It also made for better entertainment.
