they didn't swim their best events because they didn't want to break the world records this year, they want to save them for the olympic years
Similarly: No Phelps in the 200 fly nor the 400 IM (nor the 200 IM for that matter). Maybe Katie Hoff and Kate Ziegler are just focusing on events other than their absolute best events (as hrietz points out more or less in postings #6 and #7)? I noticed that Katie Hoff and Kate Ziegler had some pretty close swims against one another in both the 400 free and the 800 free though....I bet those were both very interesting races to watch live!
