No LZR / No Jaked / No X-Glide .. any WR since 2007 ?

If you discount the Jaked and X-Glide records, you also have to discount the LZR records, even Phelps swimming only in the legskin. So who is actually swimming "faster" than any 2007 records ?
The British Backstroker Spofforth swam more than a second faster than Coughlin wearing an LZR - she is close.
Steffen did a WR last year in the addidas suit + is more than a second faster than her own 2006 time - but it would be close.
Phelps maybe in the 200 Free - he dropped less than a second last year, but the LZR has dropped a lot more time for most swimmers - so I would say no.
For sure a very very short list ....

Case in point Atlanta saw very few records. Both *** records to Heyns, the 100 to Deburghraeve, and a couple relays. That was it.
The mid 90s didn't see many records go.
