Day 9 of the "Nine Days of Beijing" is our comprehensive recap of the swimming from the Water Cube with Swimming World Magazine senior writer John Lohn. Naturally, Michael Phelps' achievement in the pool occupies most of the conversation, from his historic swims in Beijing to hat swims he might drop and which he might add to his program. Lohn also talks about his other favorite moments of the meet, including Dara Torres' near-win in the 50 free and Cesar Cielo’s tearful breakdown on the medal podium.
