I'm getting the live results from Eurosport as suggested by Robin Parisi (Hey Robin I'm Jenny Luker's husband-too bad we'll miss you at Rutgers) at: www.eurosport.com/.../home_Lng0.shtml
But while the report the results no times. A little frustrating--anyone know how to get live results with times.
Congratulations to Great Britain on their first WC medal in 28 years (in the 50 ***-boy I hope they don't add 50s to the Olympics) and congrats to Popchanka for her gold in the 200 free.
Oh, nearly forgot, congrats to Phelps for his gold in the 200 fly.
He's now warming down getting ready for his 200 free. Hope Lefty is right--like to see a new US record.
