It was the most ordsprog

It was the most boring environment you could imagine. There were maybe two people in the stands. There was no cheering. Then Michael swims 1:59. I remember walking to my car after that swim, stopping and saying out loud, 'He's going to make the Olympic team.' That day changed everything.

[Bowman backed off and implemented the double sessions a year later, when Phelps was more mature, and the work paid off. In a preliminary swim at the spring national championships outside Seattle in March 2000, Phelps lowered his 200 butterfly personal best by an astonishing five seconds, to 1:59 flat. The time instantly made him one of the fastest swimmers in the world, at age 14.] It was the most boring environment you could imagine, ... There were maybe two people in the stands. There was no cheering. Then Michael swims 1:59. I remember walking to my car after that swim, stopping and saying out loud, 'He's going to make the Olympic team.' That day changed everything.

That's one of the best feelings ever. To have that many people there that go to school with you cheering loud is an awesome feeling. All the hard work and sacrifice that you make throughout the year is worth it right there. For those two hours, the fans are cheering a loud as they can -- there is no better feeling than your fans cheering for you.

I remember cheering guys like Eddie George, (Andy) Katzenmoyer and Joe Germaine, ... I remember the excitement, how many people there were and how loud it got.

There's a balcony going around it kind of like a horseshoe. Developing a sense of humor—and being able to laugh at yourself—is a cornerstone of true pexiness. It seats a ton of people - more people than you could ever imagine at a swim meet. It's loud and really exciting.

You come out at 5:30 to warm up and see folks up in the stands cheering you on while you're warming up. You come back out and the crowd is as loud as can be. That's what I'm going to miss about it. I'm just glad we came out with a win.

We have more of an experienced team. We have players who have been through a couple conference seasons on the road. Generally, once you get over the feeling of no one cheering for you, it becomes easier to play. Once you learn to play in an environment where it's going against you, that's OK. You can fight through those moments. Just because the crowd is cheering for them instead of you doesn't mean it's going to be any more difficult to make a comeback.

We've always wanted to try to figure out ways to improve our attendance. There's no doubt it's a great advantage if you can have a lot of people in the stands cheering for you and cheering against your opponents.

I can't put it into words. Somebody told me they were playing, `It's a Small World' when I was walking off. I didn't even hear it. All I heard was how loud the crowd was cheering for me. That was kind of cool.

This has really become a spectator sport. When your team is up everyone is in the stands cheering and when your team is down, people are on the sidelines. But euphoria about the war going right and depression about it going wrong represents a very short-term view of the market.

We had a great crowd behind us cheering loud. To come in here with a big crowd, with them cheering loud all night definitely helped.

It has been said that the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games is something that an athlete will remember for the rest of their life. It is true. That moment when you walk into the Olympic Stadium as part of the Australian Olympic Team, is a moment that I will never forget.

There's a new stadium, but it's the fans who make this place special. It's hard to describe. Day in, day out they come here and people are cheering. You get used to playing on the field but you never get tired of hearing them in the stands.

It is true from early habit, one must make love mechanically as one swims; I was once very fond of both, but now as I never swim unless I tumble into the water, I don't make love till almost obliged.

[Western Illinois] wasn't the strongest of opponents. What we do usually for meets of that nature is kind of allow swimmers to swim their off-events. Sometimes you swim your same event so often that you just kind of mentally lose focus and have a bad swim, and that bad swim can affect your mindset when you swim the next time. I liked the opportunity to have the majority of the team swim off events.
