Pretty amazing the Liesel Jones and Jessica Hardy swam almost precisely the same times in finishing first and second in the 100 breast yesterday in Irvine. Jones going 1:06.21 and Hardy 1:06.6.
Had Jones gone 0.01 second (one one hundreth of a second) faster, she'd have been $25,000 (US) richer.
Very good swims, especially for a dual meet. Katie Hoff and Kate Ziegler continue to impress. Jessicah Schipper was the real hero, running down Rachel Komisarz to lead the Aussie 4 x 100 MR team to victory, which gave the Aussie women's time the (unofficial) meet win (stupid that they didn't score men/women separately). Schipper did this only 10 min after winning the 200 fly is a very fast 2:07 something.

Notably, Lenton swam the first leg of the 4 x 100 free faster than the 100 free Henry's winning time in Athens (53:72 vs. 53:84).
Did you note how good is Lenton at the 200 free? She did 1:57 something in the first leg of the 4 x 200 relay in Montreal, but she didn't swim the individual event. I would expect that she will have the next WR in this distant.

Sorry but I do not agree. I guess van Almsick's world mark is to be lowered by Italy's Federica Pellegrini, although she missed the gold also in this contest. Anyways, she has a PB and Italian record of 1:57.92 that she set at this year's Nationals, still the best time of the year for this event, and Federica is just 17 while Lenton 21.

and Lenton didn't train for the 200m because she thought that she was just a sprinter!

you are mistaken, Lenton's relay time was a low 1:57 which is the fastest time of the year

could you understand the difference between a leg in the relay and a race with a start?

Yes, of course. Lenton swam the FIRST leg of the relay, which is equivalent to a race with start, and nobody else in the relays posted a better time than Lenton´s 1:57:06, even when a relay start, which is very impressive, I think.
I could if it were relevant. Since she was the first swimmer in the relay, her time is directly comparable with that of individual swims.
