I am hoping the Aussie boys can FINALLY step it up in both breastroke and butterfly to give the medley relay team any hope of medalling… as it stands, we may finish behind Brazil in the race
Sprenger looks really tired. Hopefully he will final at least since he lost lot of training this past year
For those of us who have never experienced a training camp weeks out from a worlds or Olympics, can someone please give an idea of what it is that the athletes are doing as far as workouts? Thanks in advance.
One of the hotels in Doha can be made to be at altitude so you sleep high and train low. Pretty unique for a hotel. Wonder if any of the athletes are using that?
