U.S. TEAM OLYMPIC TRIALS: SWIMMING


June 27, 2012


Bobby Bollier


OMAHA, NEBRASKA

Q.  (No microphone.)
BOBBY BOLLIER:  Pretty good, excited for tomorrow, have to stay focus and relaxed.

Q.  You were behind there for a second.  You seemed to pull it out in the last 50.
BOBBY BOLLIER:  People have a tendency to die on the last 50, and I have made it a point in training to always try to be, like, right there on the last 50, same splits.
So a lot of people go slower on the last 50, I stay constant, which makes it look like I sneak up on people.

Q.  I know it's a semi, but how does it feel to beat a two‑time defending champ in a semifinal?
BOBBY BOLLIER:  Feels kind of like a lie because Michael Phelps came off that 200 Free, so did Tarwater.  Both of those guys went fast, and that poses a threat for me tomorrow, so I have to keep my head on and do a good job.

Q.  (No microphone.)
BOBBY BOLLIER:  I've done it before, and I knew he was tired from the 200 Free.  He had an excellent 200 Free.  I knew he was going to be tired, so I swam my own race and got ahead of him.

Q.  How much did it mean to you, knowing it was a semi‑‑
BOBBY BOLLIER:  Probably the high 90s, 96, 97, there is still some left in the tank for tomorrow.  I was going for a best time.  I was a few tenths off, so if I can get that tomorrow.

Q.  It's got to make you feel good if you're in the high 90s.
BOBBY BOLLIER:  Definitely.  I know I have that left.
