I watched a 30 minute clip of the events held yesterday. No LZR there, no worlds records, a couple of Canadian records. It is good to see a few records broken without LZRs.
A very nice 100 m butterfly by a tiny young lady.

Another interesting oddity was that there was a tie for first place in the 100 back, and the time makes the B time but not the A so they have to do a swim-off to see which one goes to Beijing. I think they should give them both LZR suits and see if they can both drop the 0.39 to make the A time so they can both go. :-)

The tape for todays finals is on at &:30 pm on CBC Vancouver. I am going to watch them. I think you can get them on line.
Russel a great job in the 200 free lead all the way. he took a mouthfull of water on the last stroke. I was surprised to see how tight he held his fingers together.
Julie Wilkinson a nice steady back crawl.
It looks like www.swimming.ca has links to the trials and results. They appear to have real time results. Julia Wilkinson is seeded 1st in 100 back after prelims this morning.
Thanks Ande I was not on my own computer last nite and this morning. Chuckie and I were baby sitting and I could only jump on my son's computer when it was available. The finals for todays events at 3pm Pacific Time.

Paul Kornfeld - NCAA 100 and 200 *** champion finished 3rd in the 200 at Canadian trials.
Wow, I'm surprised by that. He looked great at NCAAs. I guess he just couldn't hold onto his taper that long.
Wilkinson wins 200 free with a 1:58.73 and a Canadian record. She is swimming amazingly well considering NCAAs was two weeks ago.
