The consolation produced a great deal of excitement as well. Michael Phelps took it out and led the field, turning in 53.13 at the 100 and 1:21.6 at the 150. Mark Thormeyer of UBC Dolphins outsplit Phelps by 9/10 over the last 50, though, and got his hand to the wall in 1:50.28, .11 ahead of Phelps. Thormeyer’s teammate Yuri Kisil was third in the B final with 1:51.00.
Santo Condorelli of Canyons Aquatic Club, who had been the fastest qualifier out of the morning prelims session, led the field at the halfway mark of the men’s 100 fly. But bothGiles Smith of Phoenix Swim Club and NBAC’s Phelps put the pressure on during the second 50. At the end, Smith touched 1/100 ahead of Condorelli, 52.57 to 52.58, and Phelps, the World and American Record-holder in the event, finished third with 52.99.
