NearPup 2,232 Posted June 27, 2016 #341 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I guess it's not that shocking Lochte had a bad 400m IM, he just recently came back to that event after a long layoff. Kalisz will be a solid medal threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalisz will be a solid medal threat. but I guess this time the US guys won't have many chances to win the Gold medal (which they have always won since the end of the great Tamas Darnyi's reign)... Hagino looks well beyond the reach of Kalisz (not to mention Litherland, who is just on the line to make the final and nothing more)... encouraging from an Italian perspective also the "high" 3.43 by Conor Jaeger in the men's 400m Free... at the moment, Gabriele Detti looks stronger (on Friday he swam 3.44.2 just down from a hard training period in altitude)...

Well the fact that he just came down from altitude doesn't make his performance more impressive I mean, when coming down from high altitude to normal altitude, that's when they're at their best.. Which is not to say his time isn't impressive by the way, because 3:44 in a period where everything is focussed on training is still damn good!

orangeman 1,359 Posted June 27, 2016 #344 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Apparently Lochte had a groin injury (though it could be an after-race excuse). It's funny to see Phelps' 400 IM in London described as a disaster. He finished 4th, a third of a second off the podium. In Canada he would have received a parade for that performance . It must be really boring being American watching the Olympics, seeing your people win so many medals in everything must numb the excitement.

It must be really boring being American watching the Olympics, seeing your people win so many medals in everything must numb the excitement. Now let's be fair, Phelps is an absolute legend who was winning nearly every event he focussed on, so yes, finishing 4th in the 400m IM was not exactly a good result for him He finished 4th, how much value do you think a 4th place has for someone who needs a warehouse just to hold his Olympic medals?

I think only one I'm numb to is Simone Biles. Shes amazing but shes a machine. Also americans are not people who follow those sports too much outside od olymlic years like us. So for a lot of people it will be the first time seeing her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,611 Posted June 28, 2016 #349 Share Posted June 28, 2016 52.12 and 52.28 for Plummer and Murphy in the 100m backstroke semi's, most impressive results of the day at the US trials Although Ledecky's 3:58.98 isn't bad at all neither Franklin seems to be in horrible shape and barely made the final on the 100 back..
