And this is also why a certain 45 year old woman is going to have an excellent shot at making the Olympic team in the 50 meter freestyle...
:afraid:Yes, True and that certain old woman lost the gold in the last Olympics by a hundredth of a second....:bliss:
Before the meet I wouldn't have expected the women's 200 back was a world record that was in jeopardy, but after Missy Franklin's semi-final swim I think it's possible. I don't think it's likely she'll take down the record, but it's possible!

She did look fantastic!
Despite her 100 fly AR, Vollmer looked pretty bad in the 100 free final and 50 fly semis, dead last at the start and never really caught up. Coughlin really faded at the end of the 100 free as well.
:afraid:Even better...go over to USA swimming and watch his post race interview where he says he felt bad and could have gone faster...:afraid: What a monster!

The U.S. really seems to be falling behind the rest of the world in sprinting. I'm sure part of it is the fact we poo poo the 50 stroke events. Most of our superstars tend to be "well rounded" swimmers. We just don't have the true sprint specialists. Yes, there are exceptions, but I think as a general rule this is the case in the U.S.
:banana::applaud:Lochte is definitely on fire! His walls are just insane. His second wall anchoring the 800FR was incredible. He literally gained a half body length off one wall!
Sad the 400FR couldn't bring it home. Very sad he isn't on the MR..Its think his 200 split shows that he had a strong chance of beating IRIE in the 100. I think he's a 52 low easy. Too bad he can't add this to his program. He could match Phelps individual performance from Beijing! I hope the coachs get this right for the Olympics. He will win the 400IM and match Phelps with individual golds at a worlds. Lochte will be swimmer of the year again...:bow::applaud:
I'm a "friend" of Tyler Clary on facebook. A few weeks ago, he posted that he suited up and went a 1:54.7 for a 200 meter LC back in practice(yes... in practice)!
I'm really looking forward to watching Clary/Lochte battle it out.
:bighug:Wow, Clary is a practice swimmer like me...He beat it by a tenth and took the bronze..great swim..:bow:

The Bears are "training through" this meet, in prep for London.:D
