1 hour ago, phelps said:

yesterday he started saying he wanted to do the 1st leg of the mixed freestyle relay or nothing (and since he was still put in the 2nd leg, he swum 1 second slower than he did in the 4*100m free relay)

 

this morning basically accused the coaches to have missed the right composition of the team, not using Miressi in the free leg (when it was his 53.7 in the backstroke leg to kill all of our chances to qualify, instead)

 

not a good team work, really (and a bad attitude)

Hmm, not entirely. First of all, it's never really one's person's achievement who messes up the race, and second: Miressi could have gone quite a lot faster than Frigo, based on his performances the whole week, enough to make the top-8.

 

Not to say Ceccon was great, because he wasn't, but it's not like the failure to qualify was entirely on him

That's $60,000 USD for breaking world records for Meilutyte

Another men's long distance event 

 

Let's go Hafnaoui and Wiffen!
