Fly technique:
Breathing every stroke helps more in the 200 fly and I just to don't think that style is suited to the 100 for fast flat fly. Advantage Cavic.
Suit:
100% polyeurethane vs. LZR. Advantage Cavic.
Meet event load:
Advantage Cavic.
Chip on their shoulder:
Advantage Cavic.
Confidence:
Smashing the WR in the prelims. Advantage Cavic.
Conditioning:
No time off. Advantage Cavic.
Chance of Phelps winning? Not good. Am I pulling for him? You bet.
if you guys keep up with the german, french or italian, i will be forced to translate for the others. however, seeing how this is my job, a fee will be incurred. lmao
You forgot Spanish (and I didn't try Arabic)
Cavic went as fast as he could go. Phelps was just faster. I think that Phelps came out of the womb swimming fly. He doesn't have the endurance in the free like he had in Beijing but yet, Phelps is still able to break a world record in the endurance-driven 200 fly. He really moved his butt on the last 50 of the 100 fly.
Phelps wore legs in Beijing. He wore a full body suit today.
Do think Phelps got a draft off of Cavic? Phelps added .2 in the 100 free but dropped .7 in the 100 fly. Those two dont match up.
Actually, yes, it does. His fly hasn't undergone any major stroke changes in the last 6 months?
His free? definately and I think that combined with the layoff, showed thru a little.

Don't forget that in the 100 fly he wore legs only in Beijing but wore a full body today, which may well be a part of his 0.7 sec drop. And his fly does look better than his free, coupled with any additional sprint work he has been doing.
Cavic was out only 0.01 slower than his 50 time -- which won gold -- and didn't really die too badly at all. Phelps showed more speed than I thought he had in him in staying at his hip. A fun race to watch.
