“[Though Coughlin publicly finalized her decision this weekend, she told teammate Jenny Thompson about it at a photo shoot in New York last month. That eases the road for Thompson, one of the medal favorites in the 100 fly at the trials.] I was like, 'Wow, thanks,' ... I was surprised, really, but she does have other choices to make.”

“The rhythm of the weekend, with its birth, its planned gaieties, and its announced end, followed the rhythm of life and was a substitute for it.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Strong sales of apartments over the weekend and China's decision to allow the country's social security fund to invest overseas, beginning this week, provided support to the market.”
Francis Lun
“I believe the team is being fair in its decision for this weekend. Although I am not currently in a championship race, the team is in a points race. I always welcome opportunities that are presented to me, and to work with a veteran like Jimmy Spencer is a great opportunity. I hope that this decision will not only benefit me, but the team as well.”
Brent Sherman
“It's basically (Thomas') decision when it moves and how it moves. I doubt very seriously anything will happen this weekend.”
Spence Jackson
“Our season has 10 race weekends. A different school hosts the race each weekend. This makes it very travel intensive: the team will travel about 6,000 miles over the course of the season to attend races. We compete everywhere from Philadelphia to Burlington, Vermont to Kansas.”
