Men's Swimming

I think SA's best chance lies with Ryk Neethling and Roland Schoeman. Both are ranked at the top of the men's 100m. Besides being a great swimmer, Ryk Neethling is also really hot, but that's beside the point

What do you think the best chances are with for your country

Whatever

Ive heard enough from certain people to know thats a blatant lie, its not beside the point at all is it...

aus have some good chances of course, thorpey will win a couple no doubt, hackett is a certainty for the 1500, welsh may win 1 or 2 backstroke golds with any luck, maybe a relay gold, prolly a few others too....

_Ed_ · 21-07-2004, 11:49 PM

Another good South African chance is Corney Swanepoel..hmm, wait a tick, he's representing NZ!

He may be a bit young for these games, but look out in 2008.

Apparently Australia's womens team is the strongest ever, theyn should win a few.

yeh jones, lenton etc... theres tough competition in their events though....

Waughney · 23-07-2004, 07:59 AM

lol, yeah. Whenever an Aussie girl breaks a WR an American seems to break it a week later!

Simon · 23-07-2004, 09:25 AM

yeh its happened a few times lately, lenton should go pretty well if she is in the same form as the trials, i also think shes pretty good looking for the record

Mr Mxyzptlk · 23-07-2004, 10:12 AM

Watch out for George Bovell - star!

GermanShepherd · 24-07-2004, 09:26 PM

Phelps could be the star of this Olympics. A lotof Americans think he can emulate Mark Spitz's feat of seven golds medals.

Simon · 25-07-2004, 12:33 AM

he could, but wont, the competition is simply too good for him to get that many golds....

SupaFreak2005 · 19-08-2004, 12:34 PM

and George Bovell wins bronze in the Men's 200m IM
Look out for him next time.... sure he'll better himself

Mr Mxyzptlk · 19-08-2004, 04:38 PM

T&T on the board.

Piper · 23-08-2004, 08:24 AM

Well Great Britains chances were tiny to win a medal, but we won some this time! But i think the swimmer of the Olympics is Michael Phelps for sure, 6 golds arent bad you know hehe
