The FINA rules say no but not considering the rulebook, should Libby Lenton's 52.99 go in the record books. There has been alot of debate on this in the other thread. What do you think?

When we talk records, I won a race 100 fly it tied the Canadian record, the guy who came second Cameron Grout applied for the a new record as his time was 1 tenth second faster then my time (in the days of the stop watch timers) however I obviously won the race. They awarded him the record even though he was second.
The same thing happened that day in the 100 free I had the fastest time he won the race.
It sounds like you did not really win the race then.
