swimnews.com has an interesting article about Amaury Leveaux's 21.38 50 free European record:

Leveaux's drop from 22.80 to 21.38 makes him somewhat of an anomaly among the 200m competitors in that 200m contenders (ranked 3rd in 2008) aren't normally competitive in the 50m event (ranked 2nd all time). Perhaps he's been training for the wrong event?

Speedo claims its suit can improve performance by up to 2 percent. TYR, based in Huntington Beach, claims the improvement of its suit is up to 4 percent.
Not that one should take manufacturer propaganda too seriously but it would be interesting turnaround if the TYR suit turned out to be significantly faster than the Speedo suit and it were the Speedo sponsored swimmers and teams that had to make difficult choices.
