The 15 year old in lane 4 is very good. Australia has some fine up and comers also.

Wow, the LZR suit is faster than drafting off Phelps! I think the problem was that Phelps was not wearing the LZR and, therefore, wasn't going fast enough for the draft to drag Libby along as fast as she can now swim.

I predicted a couple of years ago that women swimmers would break 50 seconds for 100 meters. They do have a ways to go, but it can happen.

Am I the only one slightly concerned that she has striations on her delts? That's not a very "natural" physique look, especially for a woman. Like anything I guess, if she did do it without having ever taken drugs, good on her.

Here is BeeSwim's video of Libby Trickett's swim, with some nice underwater footage at moment 2:00: www.youtube.com/watch "Striations on her delts"? I don't understand. Muscles have attachments and bellies; they lengthen and shorten and take different shapes as they move around. Maybe look at some of the women tennis players in action for comparison.

Yes Libby Trickett was Libby Lenton. How awesome for her. She VERY much deserved this. The American girls are really going to have to step it up or get blown out of the finals in the sprints. Can't wait to see what they do!
