2012 Olympics: Swimming

Just looking at the discussion at collegeswimming.com and someone suggested dropping Berens in favor of Vanderkaay. To me this makes more sense than putting Vanderkaay on instead of Dwyer. We shall see... this! berens really sucked in 400 free relay. i'd drop him and put P V in there w/ dwyer

It’s somewhat surprising that Kitajima not only didn’t 3-peat, but he didn’t even medal in the 100 or 200 ***. He has an outside shot of picking one up in the Medley relay.

The greatest race of the olympics is going now (100free) and all I see is soccer

Adrian Wins 47.52!!! MAGNUSSEN James 47.53 2nd What a clutch swim!!!!!! Amazing, gutsy last 25 meters.

Cielo was 1st at the turn and finished 6th. Too much chest-slapping? Fantastic job by Nathan Adrian! P.S. Kristin shot J.R.
