The finals of the first day, show:
.) in the men 400 meter free final, Thorpe (Aus.) went 3:42.58 for #1, Hackett (Aus.) went 3:45.17 for #2, and Coman (Rom.) went 3:46.8x for #3;
Coman -who is my fellow countryman, and I was telling you about him for years-, defeated Rossolini (Ita.) of the 2000 Olympics fame, Keller (U.S.) and Carvin (U.S.);
.) in the women 400 meter free final, Simona Paduraru (Rom.) finished #7, with a fast time;
.) in the 4x100 men free relay, Russia won;
the fastest split was by Frenchman Frederic Bousquet at 47.03 -which is the second fastest split in history-, and fast splits (in the 47s) were recorded by Alex. Popov (Rus.) and Jason Lezak (U.S.);
.) in the 4x100 women free relay, U.S. won, anchored by an ace 53.xx from Jenny Thompson (U.S.).

Hackett 1st in 14:43.14, no WR.
That's 3 for 3 boys and girls. Damn I'm good:D and patting self on back. HA HA HA
Also saw this on Eurosport:
"Pieter van den Hoogenband, beaten three times in the world championships this week, has been struggling with food poisoning."
and Thompson sick also. Remind me not to go to Barcelona anytime soon.
Unlike 2000 when there were questions concerning the USA Men's swimming program, I don't think there will be many doubts going into 2004. Look out Athens!
