Lochte won. To rehash my analogy from yesterday, Lochte followed up his warning shots in Irvine with a full-frontal assault this morning. It was a great race. ** Phelps was leading the first 50 but at 100m, that 3rd wall, Lochte came bustin' out like a stripper out of a bachelor party cake and that was it. Phelps was close, only .35 seconds behind Lochte and Herr Biedermann finished with bronze at 1.44.88.
** I didn't know it was a great race until later. The Universal Sports 'live' feed didn't work for anyone. For $9.99 all I've gotten so far is a spinning circle on my screen and an ulcer. By the time I found my way to the Euro Sport feed the race was over. Why can't we have a pay per view option through our cable/satellite providers? Why am I paying for an online feed, anyways? This must be how Tea Party members feel. I'm a GD American. It should be my Constitutional right to have free and effective swimming coverage.
Congrats to both Michael Fred and Ryan Steven. They meet again for the 200IM.

"Lochte came bustin' out like a stripper out of a bachelor party cake and that was it" OMG Lisa, your fantastic.. hahaha
ReplyDeleteEven the EuroFeed got funky at the beginning and then cut out right at the end. I have watched the replay a few times on Universal sports.
I would also like Cielo to take note. Ryan has been busting his hump for years to become top dog. He beats MFP on the world stage and there is no over celebrating, there are no tears. You smile, shake your fist a bit, congradulate the other swimmer and go warm down. If he had never won a big race than I get it.. but this isnt your first time to the Rodeo Man.. cut the crap (sorry everytime I think of Cielo and the tears – it drives me INSANE)
in France we got our swimgasme over the 100 BACK because in one race we got our two first gold medal for the men in a world championship . Talking about cielo crying i read a very good cronicle of pieter vandenhoogenband in l'equipe saying that cielo was way over the top by sitting on the water line and puping his fists and then crying .
ReplyDeleteTalking about pieter , he was my first swimming crush , he is stil looking good

haha Reezy Nation I agree with you about Cielo's tears. So over it. He needs to do that in private with his mommy.
ReplyDeleteI hear you Lisa on the Universal Sports massive fail. What a great race, but it would have been even better to not know the outcome when watching it for the first time.
omg I just noticed the picture caption. genius!
