We're covering the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials all week.The Michael Phelps of the Olympic Trials has been Katie Hoff.
Hoff won two more events on Wednesday, setting American records in both. But what was most impressive is the events that Hoff won. Not many swimmers would attempt, much less win, a combo of the 200 meter freestyle and the 200 meter IM on the same day. The only thing standing between Hoff and being known as the top female swimmer in the world is to now do it in Beijing. Hoff will be joined by Natalie Coughlin in the 200 IM, and by Allison Schmitt in the 200 freestyle.
"She's a stud for doing the 200 free-200 IM double," Natalie Coughlin said. "That's an incredibly tough double, and I don't know of another female swimmer who could do it so successfully."
Hoff has already won four events and has qualified for one relay. She still has two more individual events to go, plus the likelihood that she'll qualify for another relay. If so, she, like Phelps would be gunning for eight gold medals in Beijing.
Speaking of Phelps, he won his third event of the trials, but he wasn't particularly thrilled with his 200 butterfly performance. He finished just .11 seconds off of his world record time, but he told NBC he didn't swim hard enough on the first 100 meters. He'll have a chance to swim more to his liking in Beijing. Gil Stovall of Georgia, on the other hand, was thrilled to make his first Olympic team; he finished second to Phelps in the 200 butterfly.
