2012 Summer Olympics -- Michael Phelps is slowest qualifier in heats for 400m IM - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/olympics/summer/2012/swimming/story/_/id/8208314/2012-summer-olympics-michael-phelps-slowest-qualifier-heats-400m-im)
Kind of makes you wonder about his work ethic the past four years seeing how he's did in the qualifier and looking back on on some of the shots his teammates took at him.
Hopefully he'll get it together.
Serena making it to the second round. Wimbledon courts are the perfect spot for her to capture a gold.

He's admitted he had trouble staying motivated. I mean he basically didn't train in 09-10

Which is why his teammate curb stomped him today in the 400 individual medley.

This is what half ass training and living the limelight will do to you. He should have just retired if he was going to train and prepare for the Olympics in that sort of fashion.
Watching women's beach volleyball right now. These two girls(mitsti/kerri) have never lost a match in the Olympics yet. Amazing. That was a hell of a game with the Aussies.

Man. Phelps isn't the swimmer he used to be. He's close to being a has been.
Is it any wonder...all that weed....15k calories a day. How long can you sustain before going...Summo (No disrespect to the artist and devoted Skins fan of the same name)

Yep. It sounds like once he reached the peak back in '08, he basically stopped working hard and started enjoying the spotlight more. If that's the case he should've just retired, because now I get the feeling the rest of the games is going to be embarrassing for him, seeing as how he hasn't trained as hard as he used to.
