Biedermann was wearing an Arena when he broke the WR of Ian Thorpe of 1:41.10 with a time of 1:40.83 last November in a SCM World Cup meet. After the Olympics, he began working hard and showed improvement in just 4 months. He broke Ian Thorpe's WR from 2000 but it went completely unnoticed because we don't take SCM seriously here in the USA in Swimming.

Now to take a look at the final of the 200 Free at the 2008 Olympics and check out the suit that Paul Biedermann is wearing. And of course check out the LZR that Phelps is wearing and it does not look like a level playing field to me. Paul Biedermann is not even wearing a full body suit and just legs and he goes 1:46.00 and the suit looks like an out of date adidas that there swimmers were forced to wear.
After watching this clip, The Phelps I saw today looked nothing like he did in this clip. His final SDK was strong and amazing. Today, he seemed alot weaker and was struggling a bit. Phelps had an off Worlds in 2005 and he is having an off Worlds at 2009 so far. It is no big deal. Geesh, what a difference hard work will make in a year for Biedermann. :applaud:.
