Let the Games Begin!

This Olympics, at least in swimming, has already been filled with more speculation and predictions than ever before. Of course, thanks to Michael Phelps, our sport has gotten a HUGE shot in the arm with publicity. I've heard sports-talk radio hosts skipping baseball-trade talks to discuss swimming. It's been a most incredible build up. There has been all the talk about how the American’s need to act. How they have to be humble in their winning, how they have to be great sportsmen and women, which should be expected anyway. There’s also more talk about drugs and drug testing; in fact, already one athlete has been disallowed long before the games have even started. Let the games begin. (Glenn Mills, GoSwim)
