A few inaccuracies. First, Lochte did touch out Phelps in the 400IM, in preliminaries. In the final, Phelps went 4:05.25 for a world record and win. Second, the article suggests Phelps will be racing Peirsol in backstroke. He did not race in either backstroke at Trials and hence, will not do so in Beijing. Finally, in the 200 free, Van den Hoogenband dropped out to focus on the 100. Phelps is the heavy favorite.
