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.

It does seem a little odd to come off of a World Championship Meet and break a WR, no? If she is truly capable of swimming that fast then she should have no trouble repeating such a feat after a proper taper.
She had a very busy schedule at Worlds and was under a lot of pressure, I find nothing surprising about being able to do a better swim a couple days later with some rest and under less pressure. Your second sentence makes no sense to me, how many world record holders can you truly say would "have no trouble repeating the feat"? :confused:
I won't be surprised if she repeats her time, but then again I won't be surprised if she doesn't. I hope she does.
