I am loving Olympic Swimming & Team USA. today was Day 7 & tomorrow is Day 8, the last day of Olympic swimming.
I hope that team USA will continue training & tapering for another week. I hope that soon there will be a special elite invite meet or time trial for Olympians & swimmers who are ranked top 25, 30, or 40 in the USA for 2012, or heck, just do it in practice next week.
I'd like it to be a 1 or 2 day competition where swimmers race 1 or 2 events, no prelim / semi finals / finals, just evening sessions, if swimmers race 2 events,
they get at least an hr rest between swims
I'd love to see:
Lochte & Phelps race the 200 IM under ideal conditions
Both fresh rested & ready
Ledecky race the 1500 & 400
Franklin 1 & 2 bk
Vollmer 1 FL
Soni 2 Br
Grevers, Adrian, Jones, & Phelps race the 4 x 1 fr relay to find out if this killer combo could beat Frances winning time
Plus a 50 M SDK race
SDK = Streamline Dolphin Kick
Who else?
What else?
Just a no pressure fun chance to swim faster, entertain a crowd, & American & world viewers who love swimming & are proud of our Olympic swimmers.
Would you watch?
Ande
Heck yes I'd watch!!!! This would be similar to the tour the Olympic gymnasts take after the Olympics. The gymnasts do watered-down routines with added techno features, in duets, or with fancy costumes and props and entertain the crowds. If I remember correctly the gymnastics tour had some gymnasts from other countries mixed in. Why not take advantage of the hero status they've attained during their week of glory and possibly make a little cash too!
