 Missy Flankin, la revelación USA del año // Missy Flankin, the revelation of the year USA |
Una vez más, Michael Phelps ha sido el más destacado de la jornada, mostrando que está dispuesto a convertirse en la estrella de los Mundiales de Beijing, camino de convertirse, si ya no lo és, en el mejor nadador de la historia de la natación mundial. Primero, se ha impuesto en unos 200m.estilos, sin darle ninguna oportunidad al recordista mundial, Ryan Lochte, al que se ha ido avanzando un poco más en cada largo, hasta sacarle poco más de dos segundos y medio de ventaja, 1,56"88 por 1,59"19, señalando, además, la mejor marca mundial, del año; tercero ha sido el austriaco Markus Rogan, 2,00"08. No mucho más tarde, Phelps se ha alineado en la final de 100m.crol, con otra convincente victoria al ser el único que ha bajado de los 50", con unos buenos 48"89, por delante de Matt Grevers, 50"01, y Jason Lezak, 50"08.
Con todo esto Michel Phelps acalla esos rumores
que indicaban que tenía más motivaciones fuera que dentro de la piscina y que su preparación para encarar el próximo Mundial y los Juegos Olímpicos de Londres 2012 se retrasaba demasiado. Esta temporada se hizo extraño verle perder alguna de sus pruebas poniendo en primera línea a su compatriota Ryan Lochte como su sucesor en alguna de las pruebas.
Pero este fin de semana, el tiburón de Baltimore cerró muchos de esos rumores consiguiendo 5 victorias en el Gran Prix de Indianápolis. El icono de la victoria fue acompañada de excelentes marcas. En USA ya especulan con que las pruebas que nadó sean su objetivo para Londres, otro cantar serán los posibles oros que allí pueda aspirar.
Phelps nadó en Indianápolis los 200 mariposa en 1:55.34, los 200 libre en 1:46.27, los 100 mariposa en 51.75, los 200 estilos en 1:56.78 y los 100 libre en 48.89, consiguiendo la mejor marca mundial del año en todas ellas.
Lochte se ha tomado la revancha de su derrota de los estilos ganando los 200m.espalda con 1,57"63, dominando desde los primeros metros al canadiense Matt Hawes, 1,58"85; a Nick Thoman, 1,59"66, y al joven Ryan Murphy, del que ya hablamos ayer, 1,59"79. Finalmente, victoria del tunecino Oussama Mellouli en los 1.500m.crol, con 15,04"16, claramente por delante de Chip Peterson, 15,15"25. No terminemos, sin embargo, sin enmendar un olvido que tuvimos en la segunda jornada, diciendo que Sean Mahoney habia sido el vencedor de los 200m.braza, 2,11"47, por delante de Eric Shanteau, 2,12"08, y del japonés Kosuke Kitajima, 2,13"14; el español Sergio Lujan ha estado muy discreto, con el 50o.lugar y un tiempo de 2,36"19.
Entre las chicas, la mejor marca se la adjudicaremos a la joven Melissa Franklin, una vez más en evidencia, ahora con sus 2,07"96 en 200m.espalda, claramente destacada de sus rivales, con Madison White segunda en 2,12"49; después, Melissa ha sido cuarta de los 100m.crol con 54"93. Para la canadiense Erica Morningstar han sido los 200m.estilos, 2,12"59, dominando sin problemas a Julia Smit, 2,14"11, mientras Dana Vollmer se ha adjudicado los 100m.crol con unos buenos 54"36, por delante de Jessica Hardy, 54"70, y la canadiense Victoria Poon, 54"88. Finalmente, Chloe Sutton ha sido la vencedora de los 800m.crol, al final de una prueba muy igualada, imponiéndose en los últimos metros a Kate Ziegler, 8,29"20 por 8,29"84, mientras Kathryn Hoff ha sido tercera, 8,33"24.

Once again, Michael Phelps has been the highlight of the day, showing that it is ready to become the star of the World Beijing, the way to becoming, if it is not in the best swimmer in the history of swimming world. First, it has imposed a 200m.estilos without giving any opportunity for the world record holder Ryan Lochte, who has been going a little more in every length, to get a little over two seconds of lead, 1.56 "88 to 1.59" 19, noting also the world best of the year, third was the Austrian Markus Rogan, 2.00 "08. Not much later, Phelps has been ranked in the final 100m. crawl, with another convincing win by being the only one who has fallen from 50 ", with a good 48" 89, ahead of Matt Grevers, 50 "01, and Jason Lezak, 50 '08.
With all this Michael Phelps silenced those rumors indicating that motivation was more outside than inside the pool and preparing to face the World Cup and 2012 London Olympic Games was delayed too. This season was strange to see him lose some of their evidence put in front of his compatriot Ryan Lochte as his successor in a test.
