Swimming Finals at the World Championships in Barcelona, Spain
Former Member
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.).
He! he! he! :D ho! ho! ho!
I post this, ahead of www.swiminfo.com and www.swimnews.com who are sandbagging...

I don't follow your ramblings.

and the rest of my post, refers to evaluating Thorpe's performances against himself, by looking at his times over the past few years and when he did peak:
(hence the expression 'pure times')
.) 1:45.14 in 2003,
.) 1:44.71 in 2002,
.) 1:44.06 in 2001.
Now, go rambling in the street, over there maybe in New York, about your "...AA..." and "...handicaps...", whatever these things mean to you.
After you are done with these ramblings, do consider -from me the foreigner- that "...I don't think that works to well..." spells in fact "...I don't think that works too well...".
Then read again my posts, understand them better, and you should be set for improvement.
