And in the post-swim interview one of the US swimmers said that he "heard one of the frenchies was talking stuff."

That relay was pretty sick. Phelps set a new American record with his split in the first leg. Lezak then turned in the fastest split ever in the anchor leg to steal that one away. Half the field smashed the world record in that final - a world record that had been set in the semifinal round by the US team without Phelps.

Re: When you're the world-record holder but you cannot hold a lead in your specialty, that's not good. When that happens after you've talked smack, that's worse. At least it took a superhuman swim to beat Bernard.
Afterward I asked the French technical team director, Claude Fauquet, about Bernard's prediction. "Well," Fauquet said, "I think he got it wrong." ESPN - 'No way' turns into 'no quit' for Lezak, men's relay team - Olympics No s h i t !... ![]() |

Might as well get used to it. I can't remember the last Olympics that didn't have a U-M swimmer and/or a swimmer born and raised in Michigan. Usually there's both.

Ann Arbor has been THE place to train since Phelps and his coach moved there after Athens. A lot of people relocated there to train with them. I know a lot of those swimmers personally, including the ones competing in Beijing. They're great and talented people! All of them were here back in April at the OSU Grand Prix meet.

UM swimmers in the Olympics every time they had one except - 1980 (boycott) and between 1904 and 1928.

Not really. The guy is representing the United States and I support all of our athletes in the Olympics regardless of what college they attended. I want the US to win as many medals as possible and he definitely will increase our medal count.
I guess I would even root for Mike Hart if he was competing in the Olympics. Unfortunately for him there is no event or competition for "biggest asshole"; therefore, I'm not worrying about him since he'll probably never qualify for any other Olympic event. ![]() |

There are Olympic bicycling events, but unfortunately for Hart, none of them are for stationary bikes.
