Christine Marshall is listed to compete in the prelims of the 4x200 relay at 7:15 our time. Hopefully we'll get to see it when NBC shows swimming prelims later this morning.

**Spoiler** (don't look in case you want to see if NBC shows the prelims later this morning)













Christine swam second, swimming a 1:58.58 split as the US swam 7:52.43, winning the 2nd semifinal. Overall, the US qualified 2nd to France's 7:50.37.

They're showing the men's 200 IM heats right now, which is what came right before the women's 4x200 semis.

Twice. That was awesome! They were complimentary of her too.

I'll be rooting hard for a gold medal tonight!

That's correct. Wilkinson has a seventh and an eighth place finish but Marshall is the first to medal.

I was not aware that you could switch out the participants in the relay team between prelims and finals. Seems a little odd to me, but oh well

Different rosters for prelims and finals is a very long standing practice at the Olympics. I know it was done back in Spitz's day. It obviously rewards the teams with depth.

Today's 400 medley relay prelims for the USA had Grevers, Gangloff, Crocker, and GWG. The roster for finals should have Peirsol, Hansen, Phelps, and Lezak - a 100% change.
