They are going to be so similar to others. They’ll be in the medal conversation just not gold.

Not really, the three combined are still behind Australia. With a 1:07.xx breast, the United States will pass us, but we are favoured for bronze and hold about a 1.5 second lead over the rest of the field.

Hayden misses 50 final by .04.  Was hoping he'd be there just to give all us old guys hope.

They could pick it up if she was like 0.5s behind, not 2-3s behind...

Maybe Paris will be our year!

 

It's tough - Tammara Thibeault gave it a good fight but the dutch athlete was just better - it was a tough draw. Paris is only 3 years away hopefully Thibeault will stick around till then, she's a talent.
