2012 Summer Olympics -- Michael Phelps is slowest qualifier in heats for 400m IM - ESPN

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.

That was a great match, kept tying at 18-18 and 19-19 every time and was nerve-racking to watch if you are rooting for the USA to win.

My gripe...it was 55 degrees for beach volleyball in London...they had to wear sweaters. The aussies were covered head-to-toe and still wore their bikinis on top of their compression tops, looked stupid.

London was a terrible choice as host for this reason alone.

At least our ladies wore proper bottoms. Still looking great at age 34 too.

What?
