What a great swim. Not the best start in the world but really turned it on at the end for the silver, nicely done.
My hat's off to Lethal Leisel. She looked sooooooo strong. Fantastic swim for the gold.
Man, that US Women's 4x100 Medley is looking stronger and stronger. Coughlin-Soni-Magnuson-Torres, whooooo that should be a fast one.

You are forgetting that Natalie Coughlin is far faster in the backstroke than Emily Seabohm, and that Jessica Schippers counterpart will be USA's silver medallist,Magnuson, and I cannot begin to think about just what Dara Torres can pull out of a hat when pushed. You only have to look at what she did in the 4 x 100 womens freestyle. She is very dangerous. I am an Aussie. I would love to see our girls win but, I would never punt on us being the winner. The Americans are looking very good indeed!!!
I can see what you mean the US are looking good but I still think our girls will do it for Australia in the end, they'll be swimming for the team and as a team they always swim their hearts out, our girls will always swim with guts and determination for their country, don't you remember 'The Dual In The Pool' last year both Liesel and Jess had just swam a 200m breaststroke and Butterfly and had literaly just left the pool and they went straight into the Medley Relay and they came out in the medley relay and swam like they were fresh and crisp as a swimmer who hadden even just swam a 200m Breaststroke and Butterfly legs just before, they were both exhaused especialy Jess. I still Remember Jess getting wobbly on her legs after she swum the Butterfly leg of the Medley Relay Liesel had to grab her arm to stop Jess from falling down, but I'll give it to Jess she had such guts and determintion to swim as fast as she did. It should be a good race though!
