Did you use the foreign currency exchange formula? :)
29 seconds scm American should at least get into to the 26 range Canadian.
Coventry destroyed the world record by over two seconds in the final. Simmonds also swam under the old record, which was 2:03.24.
1 4 COVENTRY Kirsty ZIM 0.73 (1) 28.48 (1) 58.69 (1) 1:29.71 2:00.91 WR
30.21 31.02 31.20
2 5 SIMMONDS Elizabeth GBR 0.68 (2) 29.10 (2) 1:00.38 (2) 1:31.89 2:02.60 1.69
31.28 31.51 30.71
Edit: talking about the 200 backstroke
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume Lochte is rested but not fully tapered. He is swimming a lot of "off" events quite well though - 50 fr/100 ***?!:bow:
Outside smoke! Duje Draganja just broke Stefan Nystrand's world record from lane 1 in 20.81!
1 1 DRAGANJA Duje CRO 0.72 20.81 WR

DENBY Kara 0.28 25.19 52.66 (1) 3:51.36
The 100 *** is where he's gonna battle it out with Mike. He's practicing.
The 50 is preparation for the last lap of the 400IM ...when he touches him out.
I fully understand why he is swimming them I just think it's crazy that he is that talented. TO swim those events at a worlds and to final ... crazy!

The NY Times had an article on him not too long ago.
Lot's of talk about how he's been in Phelps' shadow.
He's going to surprise everyone this summer.
Some great photos of the meet.
