Poor Phelps is a train wreck and will probably be the doormat for the chinese. He knew that his training was not enough and he just doesn’t have the speed. I think his sponsors pushed him into this and by the look in his eyes — he is seeing major media and competition beat downs coming.
I bet, like Andre Agassi with tennis, that he HATES swimming and this feels like torture.
Hopefully he will make me wrong and win some medals.
