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.

So, say swimmer A is racing a 200 and drafts off swimmer B, who went out hard for the first 150, at which point swimmer A comes on strong, passing swimmer B in the final 20 meters to win in under record time, you are saying swimmer A should not get the record because they got an advantage? Sorry, but that requires explanation, not just assertion.
thats just race strategy. Libby didn't even touch the wall first.
