Mas o maior medalhista da hist\u00f3ria ol\u00edmpica jamais havia empunhado o pavilh\u00e3o americano no desfile das na\u00e7\u00f5es que abre a Olimp\u00edada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pois desta vez Phelps foi o escolhido. Uma escolha \u00f3bvia, por assim dizer. Todas as suas declara\u00e7\u00f5es na \u00fanica ocasi\u00e3o em que se pronunciou ap\u00f3s desembarcar no Rio de Janeiro, em entrevista coletiva na \u00faltima quarta-feira, ficaram no \u00f3bvio, destacando a honra e o orgulho de ser o segundo nadador dos Estados Unidos a carregar a bandeira na abertura na hist\u00f3ria ol\u00edmpica (o primeiro foi Gary Hall, pai de Gary Hall Jr, em 1976).<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">A quest\u00e3o \u00e9: qual \u00e9 o pre\u00e7o? Em 2012, a italiana Federica Pellegrini foi a escolhida em seu pa\u00eds e recusou, alegando que o cansa\u00e7o do desfile poderia prejudic\u00e1-la em suas provas. Desta vez, novamente escolhida, n\u00e3o resistiu e ir\u00e1 para a cerim\u00f4nia.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">48 horas depois de assistir Gustavo Kuerten acender a pira ol\u00edmpica no Maracan\u00e3, Phelps, que em uma tomada de tempo h\u00e1 uma semana fez 48s3 nos 100m livre, dever\u00e1 nadar a final do revezamento 4x100m livre.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">De todas as provas que nadou em Jogos Ol\u00edmpicos, essa \u00e9 a que ele tem pior aproveitamento: um ouro, uma prata e um bronze. E as dificuldades para vencer a prova, que foram grandes em Olimp\u00edadas anteriores, podem ser ainda maiores desta vez.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Franceses e, sobretudo, australianos t\u00eam, no papel, equipes mais r\u00e1pidas. E outros times tamb\u00e9m podem brigar pelo p\u00f3dio, como a R\u00fassia e o Brasil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Phelps costuma ser usado para ser o primeiro nadador da equipe americana, abrindo o revezamento. Uma das exce\u00e7\u00f5es foi justamente a \u00faltima Olimp\u00edada. Se ele voltar a ser o primeiro, deve cair ao lado do brasileiro Marcelo Chierighini.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Em grande fase, Chierighini deve nadar na casa dos 47s. N\u00e3o ser\u00e1 f\u00e1cil para Phelps bat\u00ea-lo. Chegando atr\u00e1s do brasileiro, e talvez de outros nadadores, os americanos ter\u00e3o que se desdobrar para alcan\u00e7ar a vit\u00f3ria.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do prov\u00e1vel programa de seis provas, esse \u00e9 o ouro mais dif\u00edcil para Michael Phelps. Uma dificuldade que poder\u00e1 ser potencializada pelo eventual cansa\u00e7o causado por horas em p\u00e9 no desfile da cerim\u00f4nia de abertura.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Obviamente um esquema especial dever\u00e1 ser montado especialmente para ele, mas, em n\u00edvel ol\u00edmpico, qualquer fadiga pode ser determinante.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Phelps \u00e9 mito. Mas isso n\u00e3o o far\u00e1 ganhar nada. Uma parcial de 100m livre r\u00e1pida e lideran\u00e7a sobre os companheiros, isso sim poder\u00e1 fazer a diferen\u00e7a.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Daqui dois dias, mais um cap\u00edtulo na hist\u00f3ria do maior de todos os tempos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Por Daniel Takata<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A equipe Swim Channel na cobertura dos Jogos Rio 2016 e\u0301 patrocinada pela Mormaii, a maior marca de esportes aqu\u00e1ticos do Brasil<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poder\u00e1 a cerim\u00f4nia de abertura atrapalhar a performance do maior nadador da hist\u00f3ria?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[195],"tags":[456,183,135,5,49],"class_list":["post-1571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jogos-olimpicos","tag-cerimonia-de-abertura","tag-jogos-olimpicos","tag-michael-phelps","tag-natacao","tag-rio-2016"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
