Olympic pool deck temps reach 55C, Hacket predicts sub 14:30 1500m
Former Member
Hackett yesterday declared he would become the first man to swim the 1500m in under 14 minutes 30 seconds - taking at least four seconds off his world record.
In recent weeks workers have slaved away in ambient temperatures of up to 45C, but it has been a blistering 55C around the pool deck because of reflections from the water and concrete stands.
55 degrees Celsius = 131 degrees Fahrenheit

USA swimming has on their web site the TV coverage link that will show all the coverage for the events --including Telamundo. Hey who cares if I don't understand the announcers I want to see the swims!
