  this streaming is pissing me off, I have it on the lowest quality and it keeps freezing up on me.
• Fly4Fun

  

  The live feed is really starting to crash hard now, must be lots trying to see Phelps in real-time.

  You'd think NBC could afford to make it so they could handle the traffic.

  Why would they do that? They want people watching prime time.

  at second turn.

  at third turn, can he hold on?
• tk421

  

  wow, Phelps misses the gold!
• Fly4Fun

  

  Phelps 2nd, he had to stretch for the finish.
• Fly4Fun

  

  I think this was one of his best opportunities for another gold. His next best bet is the 100Fly (he has more speed, not as much endurance) then 200IM.
  
  I think Phelps is starting to regret how much time he took off after Beijing. It's obvious his endurance just isn't what it used to be.

  Phelps glided to the touch and got caught.

  women's 200 butterfly semis up next
• Fly4Fun

  

  1st heat, Cammile Adams was 3rd and should make the finals.
• tk421

  

  that time off that Phelps took after Beijing hurt his endurance.
• Fly4Fun

  

  In the 2nd heat is Kathleen Hersey who looked amazing in the heats. She could possibly challenge for gold and has a solid shot at the podium.
• tk421

  

  Hersey coming up.
• tk421

  

  wow, Hersey smashes the 206 mark.
• Fly4Fun

  

  Kathleen Hersey was 2nd at the halfway mark. 3rd 50 she's starting to build up and has lead at the 150.
  
  Takes 1st in the 2nd heat, 2:05.90
  
  Gotta love her smile!
  
  
  
  Hersey is the top seed going into the finals (lane 4).
  
  Adams will be 7th (lane 1).
