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.

The data between the last two Olympics seems to justify the shorter time between meets.

I do believe that everyone is different. Eric Vendt obviously didn't like the shorter time in 2000, but he was one of only 3 US swimmers who didn't swim faster in a distance event at the Olympics (he swam 2 events, both slower). Tom Dolan may not have liked it, but he did swim a world record at the Olympics. Some people just can't be satisfied!
is true though...
