Thorpe Vs Phelps - Latest Odds

Its the biggest swim event of the Olympics and all has not quite gone to plan for the US's Michael Phelps - thwarted in his quest for 7 gold's last night when the South Africans caused a shock by taking the 400m relay

But its the 200m freestlye that has the world buzzing right now - and whilst its been called the match-up of the games there's still a couple of swimmers that could cause an even bigger shock.

In fact, the bookies don't even have Phelps as second favourite, since Dutch reigning champion Pieter van den Hoogenband showed he's still a threat - finishing his semi's in a faster time than Phelps, as did Australian Grant Hackett

Thorpe however, remains favourite for the Gold

Thorpe I ( Aus ) 8/11
Van Den Hoogenband P ( Hol ) 13/8
Phelps M ( Usa ) 4/1
Hackett G ( Aus ) 25/1
Keller K ( Usa ) 50/1
