***** At least offer us some perspective.... That's basically the "why?" question with the "because" answer.

If you watch, he's well ahead of the WR line after the Backstroke leg. I'd bet that he planned to press that length hardest since Lochte would be coming off his 200 Backstroke earlier that night. If you're a swimmer you know how much of a mental game races can be. I feel like Phelps planned on making that his strongest leg to get into Lochte's head by beating him at his best stroke.. Such a smart swimmer.

I have become Phelps' fan since I was 18, and now I am 35 still love him so much. Thanks to his inspiration I have achieved my dreams. I believe he will keep inspiring me many many years.

As a swimmer I can confirm that Phelps slapping his arms around does make you swim faster.

Phelps was amazing. What an athlete.

Phelps LEGEND

the mental strength that swimmers have is insane.. sometimes during practice I feel like giving up.

Amazing how he almost swam the same time he posted in beijing...a true testament to the hard work and dedication he put forth in the last two years leading up to London. Well done Michael Phelps!

3:13~

Michael you are still one of my all time favorites along with the class of 1984.

Unlike in a regular race, you can easily anticipate the start in a relay. In addition the step and arm swing add momentum to your dive, having you cover more distance both over and under the water. Also, as a general rule, swimmers get more pumped up for relays than they do for individual events
