gotosy 493 Report post Posted August 4, 2012 Michael Phelps looks to close career with 18th gold medal One more race. Two more laps. And, in all likelihood, an 18th gold medal for Michael Phelps. His final Olympics is turning into quite a victory lap. Phelps will wrap up his swimming career Saturday with the butterfly leg of 4x100 medley relay, an event the U.S. men have never lost. That streak should carry right on with the Americans sending out an imposing quartet that includes three gold medalists (Phelps, freestyler Nathan Adrian and backstroker Matt Grevers), plus a guy who won bronze (breaststroker Brendan Hansen). "I don’t think Michael is going to let anything go wrong in that race," said Eric Shanteau, who swam on the U.S. relay in Friday’s prelims. Indeed, it’s unfathomable to think the Phelps era could end with anything less than a performance that puts him atop the podium one last time, with yet another gold medal around his neck. ...

Brekkie Boy 70 Report post Posted August 4, 2012 On the contrary the Swimming part was the most successful ever for France. A great performance from France - the story of the meet for me. The BBC just said Team GB's official target was 5-7 medals (well, Lineker said Golds but I doubt it was that!) so a silver and two bronzes is falling short - and I think many swimmers not actually getting PBs might be the bigger issue. Has to be question marks now too over having our trials back in March - might have been better to leave it late like the US and hope swimmers carry their form forward.

Olympian2004 511 Report post Posted August 4, 2012 So in fact, I was right in losing my patience with the German swimming team early on - they haven't won just a single medal at these Olympic swimming events in the pool. This is the first time this has happened to the German team since Los Angeles 1932! A total disaster - and just as in Sydney, Athens and Beijing they now say that they have to improve their training system. I don't think it will happen, just like it didn't happen (at least not successfully) after the only slightly less disastrous last three Olympics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olympian2004 511 Report post Posted August 4, 2012 Australia's result is maybe the most startling one. Just see their swimming medal record since their home Games: Sydney 2000: 18 total - 5 gold - 9 silver - 4 bronze (2nd rank behind the US) Athens 2004: 15 total - 7 gold - 5 silver - 3 bronze (2nd rank behind the US) Beijing 2008: 20 total - 6 gold - 6 silver - 8 bronze (2nd rank behind the US) London 2012: 10 total - 1 gold - 6 silver - 3 bronze (6th rank behind the US, China, France, the Netherlands and South Africa) A strange development - especially regarding how many young talents Australian swimming had seen in the lead-up to and during the Beijing Games. Where are they now? Britain's poor results maybe are more explicable - unlike for athletes in other sports, the pressure of competing in front of a home audience at the Olympic Games was probably too big for the British swimmers.
