there's many factors that come into play in how 25 splits in a 50 compare
start,
streamline
SDKs
break out
effort during the first 25
turn
connection with the wall / push off
streamline
SDKs
effort during the 2nd 25
touch
but assuming things went well for each swimmer
it looks like a split differential of 0.50 is ideal and
if a swimmer has a differential of 0.75 or more she probably worked her first 25 a bit too hard
keep in mind when bousquets went 18.74
he split it 9.26 9.48
so his differential was 0.22!

Interesting...
I wonder if the girls with the higher differentials have an unbelievable start?? Like the 1.03 sec differential. Or maybe had a really crappy turn? I find it hard to believe anyone at that level is 'dying' in a 50 free.
