I am looking at the results of the 100-meter freestyle men's prelim and what a finish that race was!


[Update: It was a prelim race, I thought it was a final.]

Only .06-of-a-second separated the winner in the prelims, Nathan Adrian, from Ryan Lochte and only o.1-of-a-second separated, Lochte, from third place finisher, Matthew Targett.

Wow, it was a very exciting [Prelim] race.

Nathan went out in a 22.86 and came back the the slowest in a 25.24 to finish in a 48.10 but he had enough at the end and out touched, Lochte, who went out in a 23.41 but came back in a 24.75 finishing with a 48.16. Nice pacing, Ryan!

no swimmers under 48 in the final , that is suprising !

No swimmers under 48 means that unless they improve in Rome, no medals for the US in the 100 free. I think the French could walk away with this event.llg

Amuary Leveaux, Alain Bernard, Frederick Bousquet - Stick a fork in it, we're done!

Even the 50 will be a challenge too.
