swimming surprises
some surprises in the pool. first was ryan lochte winning the 400m IM and michael phelps finishing fourth, the first time he failed to medal since sydney in 2000. in the 4 x 100m medley the american women finished with the bronze after leading through most of the race. australia won gold and netherlands got the silver. a korean earlier in the day was originally disqualified after false starting (i think it was another 400m event) allowing ryan cochrane into the final. but the korean appealed and the decision to dq him was overturned allowing him into the final (top eight overall from the semis go to the final) and ryan cochrane missed out. so some stories in the pool so far. no medals for canada on day one so far. there are a few events left for the day.
