I know very well that what I’m gonna say will not be popular at all but I wonder more and more if it’s not in Michael Phelps’ interest to drop the 200 fly from his olympic schedule to save energy for the rest of the meet. I know that’s his baby event and that he’s got a revenge to take but it’s grueling and Cseh and Le Clos will be tough to beat. 3X3 individual rounds + 3 possible relay finals. It’s a lot to ask… Read more »
100fly and 200IM wins would also be four-peats, where 200fly would be only a three-peat. Depending on how he does at trials, I kind of agree.
IMO I don’t think Phelps cares that much on his chances of getting gold in an event versus another one. I don’t think the color of the medal really matters to him.
I think his mind is made up. He’s going to contest the three individual events. Outside the medley relay he maybe on the fence with the free relays, especially the 100, if we see some great swims from the young guys at trials.
I believe the coach can call an audible in Rio and if Phelps looks good and/or someone else looks bad then could make that switch on the free relays. For example, if someone puts in a 1:48 200 or high 48/49 100 split in the free relay prelims then Phelps is going to be in the final.
He hates to lose. If he lost the 200 fly…..
All of the above. If he drops anything it will be the 100 free on the hopes his other performances make a good enough case to put him on the relay.
He’s trained for the 200im and 100/200 fly for the past two years, so there’s reason to think he’ll switch it up.
he should skip the free relays. He would still have 4 events including medley relay
He should swim both flys, 200 im, and at least an All out prelim for the frees. He needs to be on the relay. He NEEDS TO BE.
Phelps so sluggish in 200m IM
He’ll win the final in 1.58 something.
Like he was sleeping in prelims. Very easily 2:05 and I think he can go 1:58 tonight. 2:05 is at his 80-85% I believe.
I agree, 1:57 or 1:58 tonight. He’s been that the past 6 months so no reason to think he won’t be there tonight.
Snyder 49.19 in Austin
sorry in Indy
That’d be Josh Schneider, right?
Chase Kalisz has done amazing work
He can upset hagino and daiya
What would be the winning time of 400 im in Olympic finals??
4:06-4:07 range
Do you really think his front half has improved that much? Especially the backstroke?
He has
IMO Hagino will get to 4:05 so anyone who wants to win better step up
The only thing that keeps me from getting there on the 4:05 is that we’ve seen Hagino do fast times in season before and not have that dramatic drop at the big meets. I think he’ll be 4:06-4:07.
Do you think he can beat David Verraszto?
Yes, but I don’t consider it a sure thing. Chase has a slower front half and really brings it home hard. The key will be how fast he can go out, because I think that’s where the biggest opportunity is to drop time.
I really don’t understand how these college swimmers can swim so fast in LCM… how are they even beating pro full-time swimmers like Phelps, Franklin, Cordes etc? Even King, Smoliga, Smith (male and female), etc are thrashing the pro swimmers who are supposed to do nothing else but train in LCM. Let’s not even mention Murphy, Dressel, Schooling.
Aren’t they supposed to be at extreme disadvantaged?
Or my understanding is severely clouded?
They’ve been swimming in a bathtub. When you unleash them in a LCM pool, they stretch out, grow wings and go faster.
Just like Caterpillar —> Cocoon —> Butterfly!
It makes sense now. When I read one of messr. Gigi’s insightful gems about the disadvantages of being college swimmers, I didn’t really understand it. Now I do! Thanks!
Those pro swimmers need to take a page and swim more in bathtub!
Why there are so many strange people on Earth?
Smoothswimmer, once again I’ve never said college swimmers could not swim long course. But you can continue to lie day after day about all the topics you want. Like your famous mentor.
Last time I reply to one of your useless comments because you’re just a big troll. I don’t want to waste time and energy with guys like you anymore. Looks like I’m your obsession and that’s really scary.
Messr. Gigi,
Please stop calling me troll, stupid, immature, pathetic, etc.
It pains me to hear you say those words about me and it doesn’t befit you at all.
I wished that name-calling were not condoned here. 🙁
I am just a swimming novice and I read your comments to get myself better in swimming. Your insights of elite swimming really fascinate me and I trust your expertise when it comes to competition swimming. That’s all.
U are trolling again MR SMOOTH
I think Smoothswimmer was once married to Bobo. The divorce was bitter. Now Smoothswimmer has nothing but bitterness and tears.
Please ask messr. Gigi himself if it is true 😉
Too funny but never reply to a troll. That is what smoothswimmer lives for.
You should be glad I’m not a troll, otherwise your response would have been very ironic.
Are you trolling me, ERVINFORTHEWIN?
you seem to be following me everywhere.
i sense when trolling is around . Thats all
What a talent for the imaginary you have there 😀
Carry on, then.
i will be on your tail
Ewww.. That is gross.
I’m a woman, ya know.
I think thst they are at a disadvantage. Perhaps a better question would be how much faster these college kid go if they were swimming LCM full time. You look at the SCY times of Dressel, Haase and Murphy and they all translate into much faster LCM times than what they actually swim, even if you factor in a generous 1″ sec/turn advantage for SCY.
Using your theory (and I do believe you, as I do messr. Gigi’s theory on this issue), does this mean that Leah Smith would have been as fast as Ledecky had she swum full time like Katie does?
Schooling would have likely broken Phelps’ WR had he swum full time like Michael?
Dressel would have broken Cielo’s WR had he swum full time like Cesar?
etc.
Or am I getting it wrong again?
I don’t know if world records would have been broken but it would stand to reason that it would benefit them to train long course on a regular basis.
The reality though is it’s not an either or absolute. several on swimswam have pointed out that few professional swimmers spend all their time practicing in LCM and many college swimmers spend a considerable amount of time training in LCM.
I like your explanations much better. Your explanations seem to carry nuances and more in-depth information and reasons. I get better and better understanding now.
Am I mistaken to say that Adam Peaty had to train in 25 m pool because he and Marshall had no access to 50m pool?
Is it true that -inferring from messr Gigi’s declaration about college swimmers’ disadvantages- college swimmers only train in SCY pool? Am I right in doubting that? Am I mistaken to say that top CAL swimmers such as Murphy and Prenot and Pebley didn’t swim at Pac10 because they competed in LCM meet?
Is it an awful disadvantage to train under such coaches as Eddie Reese, Gregg Troy, Dave… Read more »
SmoothS, slow it down a bit, mate. Have you heard of the comedy rule of threes? I chuckled at your first couple Bobo jabs as satire but it’s a bit tired now.
I don’t always agree with Bobo but he (or she?) is a valuable contributor here, is never nasty (can speak some hard truths, but is never nasty), adds a different perspective, and posts race videos faster than pretty much anyone.
One of the things that is great about this site–and there are so many great things–is that the discourse is overwhelmingly civil even in the face of strong rivalries, home school/country loyalties, staunch opinions about training methods, and sometimes some friendly teasing. But it is mostly… Read more »
Hi Daaaave,
Thanks for the beer offer, I might give you a shout in Omaha!
I have no malicious intent whatsoever but to learnt from all the experts here, especially messr. Gigi whom I consider the best of all!
Enough is enough – change your agenda
What agenda?
I agree I enjoy Bobo’s race videos and incites
So do I! I enjoy his videos immensely! With his videos and insights, Swim Swam should make him permanent contributor.
PS–No beers for downvoters
More beers for me, then! Yayy!
The excitement and energy of college swimming more than counter balance the disadvantages of short course swimming, either SCM or SCY. The number of swimmers who can maintainthe focus and incredible intensity needed without the ten atmosphere is miniscule.
Two words: Reese and Kubik
Was phelps supposed to swim the 2 fly?
No, wasn’t entered in the event. Swimming the 200IM today.
8 swimmers in the women’s 200 fly prelims. All qualified for the final. They could have let them sleep a little bit more on that Sunday morning.
9 swimmers in the women’s 100 breast for 8 places in final.
Looks like there’s a lack of candidates in some events.
what about Dana Vollmer….any hints of why she missed Santa Clara….
You can watch her in a few moments on the USA swimming live webcast.
