She was the 100m swimming world record holder. A few minutes ago she lost her record to an Aussie girsl swimming in a semi-final. Another Aussie girl matched de Bruin's old world record in the other semi-final. Looks really good for the relays and some individual events. Our girls haven't been on the pace in the sprint events for s few years now, but they could be bigger stars than Thorpey and Hackett at the next Olympics .

Smart git - it's only obscure for you because it is an Olympic sport and you are oficially crap at everything - oh - except rugby you said [img]smile.gif[/img] .
I see the Aussies swapped Upton Park for Loftus Road with equal success - looks like the Saffies gave us more of a game than your lot did last year though. Looks like a good game - did you get along to it?

You did not read the article Wellard - the Dutchwoman Inge de Bruijn. The Irish lass was Michelle Smith from memory and she married and became Michelle Smith de Bruin. If I am wrong I am sure old "Sports trivia Donut" will correct me. From memory Michelle Smith swam longer events like the 400 free and the IM and maybe the 200 fly.

Inge swims at that pace constantly, the question is, can the new girls do that as well.

I don't think anyone will break any worldrecords in Athens though, since the Greeks weren't competent enough to finish their Olympic project in time. Now the swimmers will have to compete out in the open. According to Pieter, that's how swimming is supposed to be, but i don't think he would have been as fast as he was in the past if the races were in open air.
