I knew if there was one guy out there that would have the Olympic swimming events in “the cube” down to a science, it was our very own Don Swanson. Looks/sounds like you were into the action as well.

Was Kitajima in the relay that Phelps won? I can’t recall at the moment. I remember watching him (Kitajima) dominate in the individual breaststroke though.

Fortunate for you because although MP has been the best all around swimmer in the world the past five years and dominant for the last two, he isn’t the best breaststroker. That honor goes to the WR holder Kosuke Kitajima. However since Laszlo Cseh is clearly the best all around in Europe and second only to MP, the play with Cseh under MP for the exacta would have gotten 3 generous wins since your fellow bettors would have played another American in the 2 spot.

Dr. Zaius, err…I mean Cheng Fei took gold in a couple of events. I’m just surprised he wasn’t more effective on the uneven bars. He seemed quite nimble in the “Apes” films. :)
