Tyler blasts Phelps for being lazy, then says sorry
Yeah I know, I’m late here. Tyler Clary called out Michael Phelps, yesterday, saying he saw a real lack of preparation when he trained with Phelps, and that Phelps ‘has basically been asking to get beat for the longest time.’ Phelps gets upset, other people too while others say Clary is right, then Clary says sorry.
@katiekochman him on such a big scale and I'm crushed that the message I was trying to convey did not get through. I'm sorry @MichaelPhelps

Not really a story to me, until this paragraph out off Barstool Sports.
We talkin bout swim practice. Not a swim game. Not a swim game. We talkin about swim practice.
Just when I thought swimming couldn’t get any gayer, we got this traitor crybaby whining like a bitch.
I love that song ! :-)

Sjöström is back and faster than ever
Sarah Sjöström has recovered from a week of sickness that limited her training to only 3 training sessions, now only one month out from the Olympics. It seems to be going well, she says she is managing faster times now than before the illness, and her coach says that maybe she needed a bit of rest after all the training and competition beforehand.

Julia Wilkinson’s green bra is ‘a talisman of frightening power’
Quote off The Star. A bit superstitious, yes, into yoga also in order ‘to conquer the swimmer’s inner demons‘.
One example: As a 14-year-old, Wilkinson put great store into the winning properties of purple Gatorade. When she headed to a meet in Victoria, she worried that non-primary-coloured sports drinks may not yet have made their way out west. So she filled an entire suitcase with purple Gatorade.
However, Gatorade is a speculative aid. The green sports bra has proven magical powers.

Behold the Chap Olympiad 2012
Having run annually since 2005, the the Chap Olympiad 2012 where held last weekend on Bedford Square in London, to celebrate ‘athletic ineptitude and immaculate trouser creases’. Or as one participant puts in in this video, “The reason we’re here, is to celebrate the loosers and to celebrate the fact that Britain isn’t really that good at proper sport, but is good at silly sport, it is good at sport that involves falling over, smoking a pipe, getting drunk and having a good time.” Via Nothing to do with Arbroath.
