Michael Phelps is blitzing the pool - that was his 5th medal, 3rd gold.
He got almost a half body length on grant hackett which is a huge lead in a 200m sprint race
*shaking head*
We aren't doing as well as we expected ;-(

They were talkin bout this on the radio this morning, saying most of the aussie swimmers actually look pretty good in real life, but look pretty dorky in the pool (thorpe in his full body suit anb big clown feet) ...
As opposed to Phelps who looks good in speedos in the pool, but in real life kinda looks like a monkey ... cause they are some HUGE ears
True though, we haven't lost the 4 x 200 freestyle since the 1996 atlanta games ... big upset considering how much we are usually unstoppable in the swimming events.
