    Well...I am glad that there are a thread on swimming for those swimming lovers here..I am cheering for Tao Li tomorrow and i think she has a great chance to win a medal in the 100M butterfly.I am really impressed by this young girl and she has a great future.Entering final in the Olympic Game is a great achievement since swimming mostly dominated by non Asian swimmers and she is just 18 this year,what a rare talent and is good for Singapore.Hope she can win a medal tomorrow.

    yes, a swimming thread is created.. i'm a huge fan of Australian swimming team, so yeah, i'm rooting for the Aussies... and let's hope Grant Hackett to become the first man to win 3 consecutive golds from 1500 m freestyle.. although there's Larsen Jensen that can challenge him, but i believe in Hackett..

    Park won because no Ian Thorpe this time.. but by winning gold at this young age, i respect him.. let's see if he can break Thorpe's record in near future, then i'll be sure to support and respect him more..:)

    That's right.

    Btw, I think Phelps will probably get 5 to 7 gold medals. He will either lose one of his relays or his pet events.

    Hopefully, Wu Peng will surprise him in 200m fly.

    I saw Daniel in action yesterday... though he broke the national record, it wasnt good enough to qualify for the semi finals... none of our swimmers qualifies for the semi finals or finals... sad sad sad... SG has Tao Li in the final today... I think she can win a bronze medal... she is goooooddd..... :)

    looks like phelps is on now. Tao Li not yet. Swimming gets priority in Singapore.

    Definitely USA and AUS will dominate this aquatics-swimming event. It's so exciting to wait whether swimming star Michael Phelps will break Spitz's record this time in Water Cube or not. From Asia, Japanese Kosuke Kitajima and South Korean Park Tae-Hwan has delivered one gold each for their country.
