2012 Olympics: Swimming

So who gets to swim the men's 400 free relay tonight? Presumably Jones and Adrian are locks due to being 1-2 at Trials. Grevers had a great prelim split, but the relay will be only 30 minutes after his 100 back semi. Still, I think he earned it based on his prelim swim. That leaves a decision between Phelps and Lochte. I think we'll end up seeing Phelps get the nod and have a relay order something like Phelps, Grevers, Jones, Adrian. Put Lochte and Phelps in a room and tell them, "one of you is not swimming tonight. Work it out between the two of you." Lochte is going to get the nod and he is only going to split a 47.7 Phelps looked horrible in the 400IM, but he looked horrible in the 400IM last year too and lead off in a 48.0
