UPDATE: Tech’s Nevo 10th in 200 IM semis
Former Georgia Tech swimmer Gal Nevo finished with the 10th fastest time in the semifinals of the 200-meter individual medley at the Olympics. Nevo, swimming for Israel, finished in 1 minute, 59.17 seconds, .68 seconds out of a spot in the finals. It was the last of three swims for Nevo.
Nevo also swam the 400 individual medley and the 200 fly. He finished 10th in the former, missing the finals by 1.44 seconds, and did not qualify for the semifinals in the latter.
Current Tech swimmer Andrew Chetcuti, representing the nation of Malta, swam the 100 freestyle in 51.67, which placed him 39th out of 56 swimmers.

Maybe if they’re lucky they’ll run in to Allison Schmitt and she’ll let them touch her gold medal.
I’m sorry . Couldn’t resist.

dawgfan, don’t ruin it for team USA. This is America’s glory and not a place for your bitterness.

dwag, 2 of the 19 posts on this amazing young lady’s achievement are mine, 0 are from you-yet you post 19 times a day on ours…now run along home & give her some love, though that may be a hard thing for you, almost never post on the darkside so don’t know if you can make a positive contribution…
