I've been reading up on it, and I'm not huge on swimming, and I learned that Peter actually set the world short course record without a polytech suit. His Arena suit was apparently the old Revolution. Considering that was last November. I think it's safe to say that he probably had more in the tank at the Olympics...
Also apparently he broke the European record with 1.44.71 and that was also without a polytech suit... So his huge jump in seconds is only as shocking as it is because he didn't have the LZR last year....
Personally I think the suits need to be banned. It shouldn't be about who has the fastest suit. But I think it's really hypocritical for anyone who was wearing the LZR last year to be screaming unfairness now.
