I see that Phelps' dreams of 8 golds are over following the USA bronze in the 4x100 freestyle. The TV here suggested that he was "parachuted" into this team in order to facilitate an attempt at 8 golds. Is this true? If Phelps is not considered an out and out 100m specialist did his pursuit of personal glory cost the other three guys a gold medal??? Any swimming experts out there??
