Hope you're right Goldmember. I must admit I didn't like his 400 swim at all. He was 3 seconds outside his world record and he just didn't look like the Ian Thorpe we're used to.

Well, Ian Thorpe did look a bit better in the heats of the 200 freestyle today.

seen apoll on who people think will win the 200m freestyle:
THORPE 73%
PHELPS 10%
HACKETT 8%
VAN HOOGENBAND 8%
OTHER 1 %

just goes to show there are some people havent got a clue!

Well, so much for that. I can sure stop 'em!!! :roll:

Geez, the South Africans have nearly broken the world record in the heat of the 4x100 relay. I knew they had a good team, but I didn't think they were that damn good!!! Just forget what I said about the USA being certainties tonight.

Think I'd better quit giving tips.

Did the Yanks have their a team swimming? i assume the sth africans must have to have swam that time

SOUTH AFRICA beat the USA the heats of the relay,maybe there could be another upset in the morning, AUSTRALIA came home stong in their heat but some legs were dissapointing and RUSSIA is a chance
