2 guys under the WR that was 4 years old. Zhang breaks it by 6, yes SIX, seconds. His last 50 was almost as fast as Biedermann's last 50 in the 400! I don't know whether to be amazed or disgusted....when you don't know what to think, THAT is what the suits are doing.

    Would not be surprised to see the 1500 mark go down in prelims. You can't compare the 800 times to last year - nobody swam a fast 800. It was obvious that both would go under 7:38 -- they were both faster than Hackett in the 400 and they are both good milers. I think Meloulli won in about 7:45 in 2007 - and his 1500 time got much better in 2008. Easy on Ous M -- I don't think they would have banned Phelps for 2 years if they would have tested him in November or December after his pipe smoking.
