  • This is Missy Franklin's US Olympic Trials Schedule (along with a few guesses for her off events) she'll definitely race the 1 & 2 fr & bk, but she has a couple bottlenecks where she has back to back important races & not much time to rest. those day's she'll prioritize her FINAL races, but swim semifinal races hard and fast enough to make finals. Monday, June 25 PRELIMS Men's 400m IM Women's 100m Fly maybe but probably not, might be a chance to race but not a priority Men's 400m Free Women's 400m IM Men's 100m *** Men's 400m IM - Final Women's 100m Fly - Semifinal Men's 400m Free - Final Women's 400m IM - Final Men's 100m *** - Semifinal Tuesday, June 26 Prelims Women's 100m Back Men's 200m Free Women's 100m *** Men's 100m Back Women's 400m Free Women's 100m Fly - Final Men's 200m Free - Semifinal Women's 100m *** - Semifinal Men's 100m *** - Final Women's 400m Free - Final Men's 100m Back - Semifinal Women's 100m Back - Semifinal Wednesday, June 27 Prelims Women's 200m Free Men's 200m Fly Women's 200m IM might see her in this race but probably not Women's 200m Free - Semifinal Men's 200m Free - Final Women's 100m Back - Final this is her bottleneck, she must make the 200 free finals but doesn't have much time before the 100 back finals.

At this point, I don't see him swimming less than 8 events again at London. But wait... there's more. An update: Phelps Breaks His First World Record - YouTube About 2:05, Phelps says this weekend's 400 IM will probably be his last 400 IM ever. Interesting...

  • Interesting lane configuration, 0 -9 (opposite of Greensboro). So if you swim this July and you're in lane 0, remember -it's next to 1, not 9.I believe this is because for semis and finals they are swimming in 8 lanes with the outside lanes (0 and 9) empty.
