it's funny when people say "you try it" or "you couldn't do it"
we criticize him because he's been great before, so we expect him to do well again. so when he brings up a lackluster showing like this, we're disappointed.
of course we can't do it. that's why we're watching on TV instead of doing it. |

| As a professional athlete, he is expected to perform well. |

| Yeah, but he is going up against the best swimmers in the world, you expect him to come in first everytime? |

| He hasn't even practiced a full year for these Olympics. While I am disappointed in him for not performing to his potential it was expected on my part. |

you guys don't get the mental toll it can have on you when your are pushing as hard as you can but still losing.
we all know phelps does not want to lose
when he knows he is going to lose, he will most likely shut down, and then end up somewhere like 4th place

Once in his life he hasn't got a medal. Now it's twice.
And I was just saying that this race lowered my expectations. |
