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.
Cavic was a class act with his comments after the race. Gracious. Would Phelps, "the man" as Cavic called him, have gone so fast without Cavic? No way. That Cavic is fast. Amazing race and all credit to Phelps. Amazing.

Phelps has shown consistently since he started racing again that his fly is fast and his free is not. His free is ever so slightly off at all distances.

Absolutely. Cavic was extremely classy.
Did you see Phelps eyes before the race.The only word to discribe them is Predator.Man ,he was intense.
I loved how the two of them were standing on opposite sides of the blocks so they could stare each other down.
Cavic did take the loss like a man, but I thought it was pretty lame when he was interviewed and he was all like "I don't see what I said that was so controversial" or whatever.
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.
If you look at the splits you see that Cavic was almost +5 on his 2nd 50 to Phelps +3. Cavic faded just as strongly as Phelps didn't.
Phelps was simply awesome.

Could have done without the chest beat and the suit thing (was he touting Speedo or USA?). Great swim nonetheless. I'd much rather be the chaser than the chased.
