In Soni's interview with Andrea Kramer, she smiled and said "yes, it was as bad as it looked." :afraid:
I liked her positive attitude about the disappointing result. She is as cute as a button. I didn't know that Serbians could have frickles. The girl who got bronze in the 200 *** is really nice looking.
I like Rebecca Soni, but she swam a terrible race. She took it out waaaaaay too fast. You just can't do that in a 200 especially a leg driven race like the ***.
has anybody ever heard of the winner before? i never have. has she been under the radar?
I haven't heard of her... I wasn't able to get back to the computer until the medals ceremony for it and was very confused.
I'm gonna have to wait for USN to post the race... I feel so bad for Soni.
Atlantic,
Why do you feel bad for Soni? She did not swim a good race! She went out in a 1:05 and came back in a 1:16. Eleven seconds difference in a 200 is not a smart race.
Maybe she can learn from this.

'cause she is my favorite swimmer and i enjoy seeing her do well.
Man!!! So tough on Soni!!!! Everyone us has had a race or many races like her's. From a coaching stand point I would prefer to see a swimmer with the guts to take out. She got excited and that is it. If she had gone out 1 second slower it would have probably meant 3 to 4 seconds faster on the back-end. Hey Glenn I will be watching your splits at Indy.
You have the opposite problem from Soni not going out in your longer races harder. You can and when you do the results will be fantastic. I remember years ago in Seattle (I think I was 52) 200 meter breastroke out in 1:14 back in 1:28. I made the turn at the 100 and said "I am f'd." Won the race but died like a dog.
