Didn't see the race but a good time for George. He said he'd be happy just lowering his national mark of 49.50 -- the fact he did so well is really encouraging for the 50m upcoming. Hopefully he makes the semifinal in the 100m.

Bernard of France just swam a 47.85 in the final heat

So the top 16 times progress to the semis....

shit...I don't think he got in....can't confirm that yet, but the 15th placed qualifier had a 48.5-something...

Hard luck him not making the semis but I think (judging from his time and splits) that it was a very encouraging performance for George with the 50 coming up.

20th fastest at the olympics ent too shabby
Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads.

Not shabby at all....... but those times will be bettered in the semis and again in the finals.  Strange that all the qualifiers came from heats 7, 8 and 9.

That is the way prelims are seeded in swimming. The last three heats are circle seeded so that the 24 fastest swimmers come from those heats.

It was an excellent swim for him, but really a testament to how far the sport has come. George was actually a semi finalist in the hundred four years ago in Athens when he was really concentrating on the IM. What a difference four years makes. He would have finalled with that time four years ago.
That being said, his front end speed looks good, so the 50 should see him get top 16 as a start.
