What's the big deal that Hayden was "fist bumping" and celebrating, of course he would celebrate he just beat Michael Phelps.

I'm sure if Phelps won and started celebrating the American broadcasters would be all for it.

yeh we know that swimmers arent at their best now but winning is what they want to do no matter what, its not always all about the olympics and world camps, you dont have to save up your emotions for two or four years.. soccer players celebrate after every goal ten times more than he did, not just when they win a game or championship.

@RsExclusive Like they said, you don't see much of fist pumping on a mid-season meet. Because everybody knows that swimmers aren't at their peak in the middle of the season. And I'm pretty sure that nobody takes the mid-season meets seriously.

ok: one- hayden is not a front half hundred swimmer. he's said himself that his 200 is much better than his 50. Due to his lack of a world-class start. He also might have won a medal if he had swum the final in beijing. And don't count out the quality of the field Hayden was racing against. I'm sure if he had come 2nd and still beaten phelps he wouldn't have 'fist pumped'. Nathan adrien is another big name, and the other swimmers weren't half bad.

This is great that Brent won in this event but realistically, this is not a good gauge to see who is the fastest. Most swimmers are not in good shape like at the Olympics or World Champs. Just because he beat Phelps here doesn't mean he can do it at the Olympics. Canadians need to get over their 'anti-America' persona! It's getting old. Just congradulate Brent on a great swim but don't bash Phelps! In 2012, where will Canada be? Dead last! USA and Aussies rule the pool!

Sorry, when a Canadian swimmer beats Michael Phelps it is a big deal.

Stupid American commentators.
