I have been searching like a mad woman and I can't find a Team USA roster for worlds. And the USA Swimming National Team still has Amanda Beard on it and she didn't even swim at trials. I can't begin to imagine where the psych sheet will be listed. I went to Fina Home page and didn't see anything.
I heard the Aussies had to stop training early in Florida due to a lightening storm. That would be scary huh?

Anyone know where I can find my tickets? The ones I ordered 10 months ago that they haven't bothered to mail?

You STILL don't have your tickets Verbal? Yikes.

Did anyone else notice that two of these articles are exactly the same, including cheesy cliches (Phelps is "licking his chops") and factual errors? ("Ian Peirsol" was my personal favorite.)

verbal -
i had tickets issues too.
so rather than me developing a migraine getting stressed about them being mailed too late, i called and had them just switch it to "will call" or the box office at the pool. I had 3 different event tix; they managed to get me one, then a month later the other one...and i still never recieved my closing ceremony set, so i called, and found out our seats are completely different than the ones i bought, and they havent been printed yet.
FUN TIMES!

swimphilly78 - We could do that, although that would require us actually being able to get a human being on the phone without getting disconnected or a busy signal. Thanks for the advice, though.

Neither of my eyes are nor will ever be on Phelps. Everyone have fun.

I'm with you Kayte.

Verbal - call the number on the Admissions website, raise a little hell and tell them you need to talk to someone from the relocation office. They will take your number and give it to the relo people who in the past called me within 24 hours. They also put me down as a "priority client" (meaning they didn't want to hear from me again so they put me ahead of some other people). Be firm with them and tell them you are trying to coordinate with other people and need to know where you are sitting and that they now need to hold your tickets at will-call or overnight them at their own expense.

They let us know where we're sitting, but they didn't tell us how to get the tickets. That's what we're trying to get them on the phone about now.

Have fun in Montreal. I can't wait to hear about all the fun you will all have!

Was someone looking for a psych sheet for Worlds?

This was the nearest thing I could find:

Looks like Ian's swimming the 50 fly after all (finally! I can stop asking everyone!), and Aaron's swimming the 50 back.

Bah! The link was too long! After the racearchives/ part, add this:
