NBC SPORTS GROUP PRESENTS MORE THAN 45 HOURS OF LIVE OLYMPIC TRIALS COVERAGE OVER THE NEXT THREE WEEKS Includes 15.5 Hours on NBC in Primetime ... I think NBC must have had a change of direction w.r.t. their sports coverage. I was surprised at how late the US Open golf tournament was scheduled to run into primetime yesterday. S

Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin a golden girl from the get-goPosted: 06/16/2012 Missy Franklin's U.S. Olympic Trials could have five events, coach says

Missy Franklin's U.S. Olympic Trials could have five events, coach says Glad to see she's not entering the 200 IM. Based on her 200 IM at senior nationals last summer, she would not have made the team. Maybe not even the top 8. Of course, it's entirely possible that she's improved her breastroke since then.

I think Lochte wins the psych sheet with 11 events entered. :joker: Runner-up as far as I can tell is Elizabeth Beisel with 9. Let the scratches begin! Very incomplete findings so far: Ryan Lochte (11) 400 IM, 400 free, 100 ***, 200 free, 100 back, 200 fly, 100 free, 200 back, 200 IM, 50 free, 100 fly Elizabeth Beisel (9) 400 IM, 100 back, 400 free, 200 free, 200 IM, 200 fly, 200 ***, 800 free, 200 back Michael Phelps (7) 400 IM, 200 free, 200 fly, 100 free, 200 back, 200 IM, 100 fly Peter Vanderkaay (6) 400 IM, 400 free, 200 free, 100 free, 200 IM, 1500 free Tyler Clary (6) 400 IM, 400 free, 200 free, 200 fly, 200 back, 200 IM Natalie Coughlin (5) 100 fly, 100 back, 200 IM, 100 free, 50 free Missy Franklin (5) 100 back, 200 free, 100 free, 200 back, 50 free Caitlin Leverenz (5) 400 IM, 100 ***, 200 IM, 200 fly, 200 *** Katie Hoff (4) 400 IM, 400 free, 200 free, 800 free Robert Margalis (4) 400 IM, 200 fly, 200 IM, 200 IM Ariana Kukors (3) 100 ***, 200 IM, 200 ***

196!!! entered in the women's 200 backstroke. Fortunately for the volunteers, there are, at most, only 10 heats of the men's 1500M. Welcome my friends, to the meet that never ends. We're so glad you qualified, come inside, come inside, The lanes are more than packed they're super packed Be careful arms don't crash, warming up, warming up. Take your seats, prelims about to roll, Two thousand swimmers going for the gold..... For 2016, it seems like it would be pretty easy to trim the field with only some small adjustments to the cuts. For example, there are 179 entries in the men's 50 free. If the cut had been 23.29 rather than 23.49, the number of qualifiers would have been 94. I don't think anyone would call an adjustment of 0.2 seconds unfair.

Some other swimmers I found with 5 or more entries: Felicia Lee (8) 100 fly, 100 back, 200 free, 200 IM, 200 fly, 100 free, 200 back, 50 free Conor Dwyer (7) 400 IM, 400 free, 200 free, 200 fly, 100 free, 200 IM, 50 free Rachel Bootsma (6) 100 back, 200 IM, 200 fly, 100 free, 50 free, 100 fly Bobby Bollier (6) 400 IM, 400 free, 200 free, 200 fly, 200 back, 100 fly Teresa Crippen (6) 400 IM, 200 free, 200 IM, 200 fly, 200 back, 100 fly David Nolan (6) 200 free, 100 back, 100 free, 200 back, 200 IM, 100 fly Jasmine Tosky (6) 100 fly, 400 IM, 200 free, 200 IM, 200 fly, 100 free Austin Surhoff (6) 400 IM, 200 free, 100 back, 100 free, 200 back, 200 IM Dana Vollmer (5) 100 fly, 200 free, 200 fly, 100 free, 50 free Allison Schmitt (5) 400 free, 200 free, 100 free, 800 free, 50 free Megan Romano (5) 100 back, 200 free, 100 free, 200 back, 50 free Davis Tarwater (5) 200 free, 200 fly, 100 free, 200 IM, 100 fly Dan Madwed (5) 200 fly, 100 free, 200 IM, 100 fly, 200 free Eugene Godsoe (5) 200 free, 100 back, 100 free, 200 back, 100 fly Haley Anderson (5) 400 IM, 400 free, 200 free, 200 fly, 800 free Kylie Stewart (5) 400 IM, 100 back, 400 free, 200 free, 200 back Jack Brown (5) 400 IM, 100 ***, 200 free, 200 ***, 200 IM

Mann, Becky-14 (6) 04 - 400 IM, 10 - 400 Freestyle, 11 - 200 Freestyle, 13 - 200 IM, 15 - 200 Butterfly, 22 - 800 Freestyle Gee, not bad at all for a 14 year old!

To help That Guy out: Thanks Rob! It's amazing that Janet Hu is in 8 events and yet I never noticed her name in the 2 hours or so that I studied the psych sheet. I guess I focused on higher seeded athletes.
