Texas Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 How many events will Michael Phelps be in? The same events he qualified for during the US Nationals? I saw those US Nationals. Surprised Amanda Beard made the team because I thought she was done after Beijing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneTimeOnly Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 In L.A./SoCal. Arrived Tuesday morning, JFK-LAX via Virgin America. Fun airline. Last night was Day 1 finals of the Pan Pacific Swimming championships down in Irvine. SO MUCH FUN!!! They had a little OC that consisted of a parade of the flags of the nations competing in the meet. Saw Ryan Lochte, Michael Phelps, Ian Piersol. Michael Phelps won his event last night, the 200 Fly. Got a movie of his medal ceremony. Today is Day 2. Very hot in the stands until the sun sets (Stands face west), then, glorious just perfect SoCal weather at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aluz Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Cesar Cielo and Nicholas Santos gave Brazil the first 1-2 in a major international competition. They finished 1st and 2nd in the 50m butterfly. After this surprising performance, Cielo seems to come strong for the 50m feestyle. Today, he swims the 100m freestyle, in which he holds the WR, but he hasnt done very well this year yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTimeOnly Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 USA Swimming's Nathan Adrian out sprinted Ceaser Cielo in the 100m Free last night. After the medal ceremony, he threw the stuffed bear they gave him with his gold medal into the stands, and it sailed right up, and over everyone in front of me and hit me square in the chest, and I just caught it. LOL. Having soooo much fun at Pan Pacs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
