Ryan had the fastest qualifying time in the 400m IM prelims: 4:24.13
He split 39.52/36.72 on the breaststroke leg. It looks like his knee held up! Hopefully someone in the press will interview him about it.

Peter Vanderkaay had an extremely impressive 400m IM prelim. He finished 4th with a time of 4:25.65. Is training with Ryan turning him into an IMer? I watched the race, and he was more than a body length behind Thiago Pereira the whole race until the freestyle leg and then he zoomed past. PVK's free splits were 30.81/28.92 compared to Pereira's splits of 33.08/31.07.
If Pereira can improve his freestyle he will be a huge danger to win the 400m IM in London 2012.
200m back
Ryan had the second fastest time in the prelims for the 200m back, 2:01.46. Michael Phelps had the fastest qualifying time at 2:00.85. They will be right next to each other in tonight's finals, which is what everyone wants. Very exciting. Here are the splits. Notice, Ryan really slowed up the last lap. He has two tough races tonight!
