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?
One of the reasons I keep bringing up the rules is because when you become an official, the testing is quite extensive on certain issues. For Admin, I had to answer quite a few questions on valid events for LSC, National and World records even though I will likely never work an event that I have to be concerned about this. I know things are spelled out in USA rules, and the people on site running the meet should know the rules, and should know BEFORE the race that no world records were being contended.
