We now have just over a month before the open World Champs at Melbourne. What will we see there, more records? I believe that this is a 'statement' champs, not least of which the Aussies in the wake of the retirement of Ian Thorpe. Will the Chinese unveil some unknown superstars? Kitajima, according to the Swimming World website feels that he is returning to form, can he challenge Hansen (& how many little dolphin kicks he hide in his dive?).
What do you see on the horizon? Time to venture some predictions.
I say the we will see Park from Korea start to push Grant Hackett, with a view to getting in his head for 2008. Will Phelps shock and awe his opponents?
Let's hear from you...

Shock and awe by Phelps is almost guaranteed. Kaitlin Sandeno and Peter Vanderkaay should be on the enemy radar as well.
Hansen, Crocker, and Piersol should be their usual untouchable selves. I think if Kitajima pulls his crap again with Hansen, Brendan will just sock him right there in the pool. Especially if Kitajima yells in his ear again, could you blame him? j/k of course!
How about Cullen Jones?
