At first I thought the US girls would be fighting for a Bronze, now I think they may have a good chance to win this one.
Plenty of fast swimmers being rested, but most countries will do a swim-off for the 3 and 4 spot. Good swim by Kara Lynn Joyce - probably add Nymeyer + Coughlin and Torres. Not sure about the order though -- they usually like to lead off with Coughlin - maybe Torres as the anchor ?
The Dutch number 3 and 4 were off their WR times and the Aussie girls did not convince either. Have to watch out for the Chinese -- not sure if they have anybody else, but if they can replace the 55+ split with a 53+ split they are also in the running for Gold.
Are you referring to the heats?
US 3:37:53, first in their heat.
Kara-Lynne Joyce
Julia Smit
Emily Silver
Lacey Nymyer
But Chinese and German teams both posted better times in their heat.
