2012 Olympics: Swimming

Grevers was faster than that in the morning, compared to Lochte's, um, has Ryan Lochte ever done a 100 freestyle before? Armchair quarterbacking should be an Olympic sport. It was a reasonable call, given that Lochte (defending world champion in the 200 free that he is) was more rested than Grevers and swam so well yesterday. The difference in their two splits (I think 0.2 sec?) wouldn't have made up the gap. I guess people wanting to avoid spoilers are either avoiding this thread or have already heard all about it, but...it was a great race. Adrian and Phelps had monster swims. And who would have thought the Aussies would be a non-factor?
