The final was great! And guess who won? The oldie, Popov

VDH was 2nd and Thorpe 3rd. Ian was only 8th when they turned around, but caught others in the last meters.
That was a GREAT final! Didn't expect Popov to make a come back like that (was he ever gone then? erm...

). A shame VDH didn't win but I'll settle for this
Did you watch today's finals btw? The 100m butterfly men semifinals were AMAZING! In the first semifinal, Andrii Serdinov, like, crushes the WR with an amazing time of 51.76 and five minutes later in the second semifinal, Michael Phelbs comes along and beats that with a 51.47 :dazed:
And then later in the 200m ind. medley Phelps swims another wr with 1.56.04!
This was one great night! And to think this kid Phelbs is only 18! Younger than me but if I ever meet him, I'm gonna fall on my knees
Note to self: Get Phelps' trunks to crush personal records!
