FINA...in their grand wisdom, has decided NOT to make Libby Lenton's 52.99 as a world record. This has been reported the the Herald Sun out of Australia.
Once again, FINA shows that it is run by politicans, not swimmers or swimming fans.
So, Thank You FINA for once again screwing things up.
Lenton has a great response, a real class act. "I am a little disappointed because I know in my heart what time I swam and that time is faster than the existing world record, however, having said that, the disappointment can take nothing away from the fact I now know I am capable of swimming under 53 seconds and I will continue to strive to improve every aspect of my swimming."
AMEN to you, Libby - Next time you're swimming a sanctioned 100 free, you can count on me cheering for you to go 52.98! Great attitude, girl, go stick it to 'em :dedhorse: :frustrated:
