Thoughts on the 50 free prelim:
1) Cielo looks straight down the whole way
2) Nystrand has a "tomahawk/windmill" stroke as do many others.
3) Tobriner has his arms go into the water at a angle.
4) Schoeman has a very symmetrical stroke. His body is very rigid. (Rotates little?)
Thoughts on the 200 breast:
1) Rebecca Soni has a short glide phase and at least "two or three hearts."
2) Jones should have won but SOni was stronger - Jones looked fatigued all throughout - even on the blocks
Thoughts on the 200 back:
1) Lochte's Dad cried. :-]
2) Perisol did it again! He kicks on his belly during the turn! - NOT OK
3) Lochte does not kick on his belly
Thoughts on the Women's 200 back:
1) Manaudou lost weight, looks pale. Could be the LZR making her look thinner!
Thoughts on the 200 IM
1) Cseh is the most underrated swimmer in these Olympics
2) Phelps is making this looks so easy. Is it easy?

that was a great swim by Natalie, esp with such a stacked heat with Steffen and Trickett.
That was a swim of a lifetime for Soni!!! I was going crazy cheering for her. I remember reading an article in the NYTimes about how she had heart surgery a few years ago. And now look where she is.
Based on the NBC coverage, you'd think Michael Phelps was a one man team, but there so many amazing swimmers competing, its all so inspiring to watch!
You have never heard of "Phelpsylvania"? The great nation of Phelpsylvania has won almost half as many gold medals than the United States, more than Russia, Great Britain and Australia. None of their competitors have won anything less than gold.
Per capita income in Phelpsylvania is expected to grow 1-million-dollars per person in the next couple of days making it the most affluent nation on this planet.
The country has adopted a neutral stance politically but openly endorses the free-market, capitalistic system. Economic development deals with Visa, Speedo, and other conglomerates has been well publicized. ;-)
