PHOENIX, Arizona, February 11. AARON Peirsol's retirement has been a hot topic of conversation this week, and we thought our Poll of the Week should look ahead to predict his successor in the 100 backstroke at the 2012 Olympics.<\/p>\n

With choices ranging from last year's fastest backstroker to a handful of Americans who will fight for the chance to swim the event in London, we want you to pick your choice as the one who will likely wear the gold medal in less than 18 months. Go to our poll page<\/a> to vote and watch our Poll of the Week, sponsored by A3 Performance, in the video player below. <\/p>\n
