Allison Schmitt will win barring a giant collapse, she has a huge lead at the 150.
Schmitt with gold, Franklin just out of the podium at 4th.

Next is the 200Fly with Phelps going for the first ever back to back to back Men's gold in any event (swimming).

The live feed is really starting to crash hard now, must be lots trying to see Phelps in real-time.

You'd think NBC could afford to make it so they could handle the traffic.

Why would they do that? They want people watching prime time.tk421;1237904 wrote:You'd think NBC could afford to make it so they could handle the traffic.

Phelps 2nd, he had to stretch for the finish.

I think this was one of his best opportunities for another gold. His next best bet is the 100Fly (he has more speed, not as much endurance) then 200IM.
I think Phelps is starting to regret how much time he took off after Beijing. It's obvious his endurance just isn't what it used to be.

1st heat, Cammile Adams was 3rd and should make the finals.

that time off that Phelps took after Beijing hurt his endurance.

In the 2nd heat is Kathleen Hersey who looked amazing in the heats. She could possibly challenge for gold and has a solid shot at the podium.

Kathleen Hersey was 2nd at the halfway mark. 3rd 50 she's starting to build up and has lead at the 150.
Takes 1st in the 2nd heat, 2:05.90
Gotta love her smile!
Hersey is the top seed going into the finals (lane 4).
Adams will be 7th (lane 1).
