I think his support of Phelps and then to be ignored by not being invited to be there is very hurtful to him. He even said that he would have liked to be the one to present Phelp's with the gold medal that breaks his record. (If you've noticed, the medal presenters are all "special" people, not just Olympic commitee employees). I just really feel sad for him.
Tonights races should be great - Just read about the American breaststroker who swam last night in the prelims - he has cancer (testicular) and will have surgery after the games are over. But, tonight, 4x200 free relay with Phelps - surely won't come close to the excitement of Sunday's race though.
Every time I watch a swimming event, I feel myself back watching you and Nikki swim - and remember your great swim in the States and how exciting it was to watch you . Mrs. Kiss was louder than I was - but we were both yelling GOOOOOOOOO JAAAAAANNNNNNNNN so loud you HAD to have heard us!
