I posted this in another thread somewhere, but the shocking event will be ... 200 fly.
Yes. The 200 fly.
Why? According to his buddy Ed Moses (look at my post history) ... b/c his 100 fly in the 400IM is just off of Phelps', and that's with very little emphasis/training.
Lochte 2012 speculation
200/400 IM- really good odds winning
100 bk -lots of competition to make the team
200 bk -much better chance than the 100 bk, good odds winning
100 fr -outside chance to make team/medal
200 fr -good medal potential
4 x 200 relay -good chance medal/winning
4 x 100 fr relay -good chance to make the relay, potentially tough to win
4 x 100 mr -obviously depends on the 100 bk
Substitute 4x100 free and replace it w/ 200 fly and that's what Lochte will be shooting for in London: 9 golds.
IF the event order will permit.
But the key is the 100 back b/c that will get him 2 chances at golds (if he wins the 100back and the US wins the medley relay).
