| Day-3
Coughlin i Phelps najbolji u Missouri-ju... |
(in
Serbian)...
|
| Treceg i poslednjeg dana u kvalifikacijama,
sve je doslo na svoje mesto... Koliko ce biti jak i neprikosnoven Americki
tim na predstojecem Svetskom prvenstvu u Melburnu, govori i podatak kako,
kao od sale plivaju istinske svetske zvezde: Peirsol, Coughlin, Kirk, Hoff,
Phelps i Hansen. Ovde posebno treba istaci dva ne-amerikanca medju pobednicima,
tunizanina Oussama Mellouli-ja i brazilca Thiaga Pereiru... Nada je ostavljena
za vecernja finala za postizanje novih "cuda"... Nazalost, u finalima nije
oboren neki novi svetski rekord, ali zato su plivana sjajna vremena. Posebno
se to odnosi na Rachel Komisarz u disciplini 100 delfin, Hoff u 200 mesovito,
te Phelps-a u 100 delfin. N.Coughlin je veceras jos jednom blistala, pa
je medju zenama, na ovom takmicenju proglasena najboljom, sa osvojene
ukupno 4 zlatne medalje... U muskoj konkurenciji to je Phelps sa 5 zlata... |

| Day-2
Coughlin i Phelps - po dva zlata ... |
(in
Serbian)...
|
| Kvalifikacije drugog dana Missouri
GP-a, nisu donele nikakva uzbudjenja. Hoff i Phelps lagano su 'prisvojili'
prva mesta u disciplini 200 kraul, Tara Kirk i Hansen u 200 prsno, Kukors
i Phelps u disciplini 400 mesovito... Naravno da ce vecerasnja finala biti
izuzetno zanimljiva, a to se posebno moze odnositi na trke u pomenutim
disciplinama, ali i u sprintu, posebno u muskoj konkurenciji... U vecerasnjim
finalima, ipak izostalo je 'cudo'... Ali, najveci utisak ostavila je svakako
Natalie
Coughlin (clanica kluba Cal Aquatics) sjajnim trkama u disciplinama
200 kraul, a posebno u 50 kraul, te osvajanjem dve zlatne medalje... Sa
puno paznje ocekivala se poslednja individualna trka - u disciplini 400
mesovito, muski... Michael Phelps, nije ponovio 'ludilo' od sinoc,
ali osvajanjem I mesta u najzahtevnijoj plivackoj disciplini 400 mesovito
osvaja tesno zlato u vremenu 4:11.30 ispred Melulija i Brazilca Pereire... |

| Day-1
Phelps novi svetski rekord - 200 Fly 1:53.71... |
(in
Serbian)...
|
| U prepodnevnim kvalifikacijama nije
bilo spektakularnog plivanja, kao sto se i ocekivalo... Medjutim veliki
broj plivaca je prakticno vec isplivao olimpijske norme, sto im omogucuje
sigurnu bazu da bi se mnogo konkretnije posvetili isplivavanju svojih najboljih
vremena tokom ovog ali i narednih dana ovog fenomenalnog mitinga. I da
kazemo, na tribinama Mizzou centra okupilo se preko 2000 gledalaca pored
vise od 600 prijavljenih ucesnika.... U vecernjim finalima, na 100 kraul
neprikosnovena je Coughlin (53.95), dok se bronze dokopala Slovakinja Martina
Moravkova (ovde nastupa za Mustangs-NT)...Ali Michael Phelps je veceras
u Columbiji napravio podvig... U njegovoj disciplini 200 delfin, oborio
je svoj i stari svetski rekord iz 2006 god. (za 9 stotinki).... |

| Predtakmicenje
- sa veoma skromnim vremenima ... |

| Osim tunizanina Melloulia u disciplini
800 m kraul muski, i delimicno svajcarkinje Rigamonti (u disciplini 1500
kraul zene), te Tare Kirk (u trci 50 prsno zene), gotovo bleda slika isplivanih
vremena, za prvo vece GP Missouri-a u tzv. segmentu pred-takmicenja
koje je obuhvatilo ne-olimpijske discipline.... Sta je razlog tome, bez
obzira sto prave borbe krecu tek od sutrasnjeg pre-podnevnog dela, u ovom
trenutku nije moguce dati pouzdan odgovor. Naravno, cudi i apstinencija
gotovo svih 'zvezda'.... |
