Are you coming to the 2004 Short Course Nationals in Indianapolis?
I will race there.
Also, on the Olympic front the first bang will be this month from the Australian Olympic Trials.
(The U.S. Olympic Trials are this year three weeks before the Olympics because the NCAA coaches who voted for this date are selfish about preserving the NCAA first;
a better timing is in the case of the Australian Trials, held five months before the Olympics.)
Thorpe entered 200, 400 and 100 free.
I wish that Klim would have been healthier and more competitive the past two years, so that he can make the Australian Team and peak in the Olympics.

I would think that if you taper for the Olympics, then you risk not making it by an up and comer who tapered for Trials.

is applicable in the 2004 Olympics in women 100 free:
17 years-old Amanda Weir, Jenny Thompson and Natalie Coughlin have about similar chances to represent U.S. against Inge de Bruijn (Ned.) in the race for gold.
Yet, the Olympics take two from the U.S., meaning that Amanda, Jenny and Natalie will taper for the Trials in order to advance a step further and probably will peak out during the Olympics.
